Social Democrats Housing Spokesperson and T.D. for Dublin Bay North, Cian O\u2019Callaghan is calling on\u00a0Minister O\u2019Brien, Minister Donnelly & Minister Feighan to reverse cuts to homeless mental health services.<\/p>\n

Deputy O’Callaghan said:<\/p>\n

‘When it comes to services and supports for those that are homeless, actions speak louder than words. Today\u00a0Minister O\u2019Brien, Minister Donnelly & Minister Feighan said that supporting those who are homeless is a priority – all the while funding for crucial mental health services for the homeless are being cut.<\/p>\n

“In reply to\u00a0a parliamentary question (No 12238\/20), the HSE confirmed to me that funding for the access community mental health team\u00a0has fallen by \u20ac87,122 in the last two years and it expects the same reduced funding for next year. This 13% cut for a crucial\u00a0service is unacceptable.<\/p>\n

‘Those who are\u00a0homeless\u00a0and vulnerable need our care and support now more than ever.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m again calling on\u00a0 Minister O\u2019Brien, Minister Donnelly & Minister Feighan to restore funding for this and other vital services for those that are homeless.\u00a0The Government’s commitment to those that are homelessness must be demonstrated through actions and outcomes and not more empty words.”<\/p>\n
