The Government have revealed this morning that around 2,000 Homeless parents and children living in emergency accommodation will be allowed to travel on public transport for free.
The move comes after the Minister for Children Katherine Zappone included the proposal in the Government’s Action Plan to tackle the crisis.
The plan, which will be unveiled this, says: “It is widely acknowledged that any medium to long term period living in a hotel seriously impacts on normal family life and is particularly detrimental to children.”
