Family Hubs Will Become A Reality Leeside
The Minister for Housing says that the construction of hubs for families across Cork will become a reality.
Minister Eoghan Murphy made the comments this afternoon, where he visited a number of social housing developments across the city and county.
Minister Murphy described the construction of family hubs Leeside as a positive step in the right direction, but insisted it was not a long term solution to homelessness.
It comes as figures released from the Simon Community showed a 25% increase in the number of people without a home in Cork, compared to this time last year.
Speaking to RedFM News Minister Eoghan Murphy says he will continue to work towards lowering this figure:
