Cabinet Minister says homeless occupying Apollo House should be let there until an alternative is found
The NAMA owned property has remained occupied over the weekend, by activists providing accommodation for the homeless
A member of the Cabinet says homeless people being accommodated in a Dublin city office block should be left there until an alternative is found.
At least 20 homeless people and a number of 'celebrities' occupied Apollo House on Dublin's Tara Street, which is owned by NAMA.
Independent Minister Katherine Zappone says she has concerns about the legality of the occupation and shares the views of the homeless campaigner Father Peter McVerry.
But the children's Minister says if there's no alternative for them they should be left there.
