Homeless Support
Accommodation Options for Homeless People
If you are homeless, rough sleeping or at risk of becoming homeless you need to present to the Housing Office in your Municipal District between the hours of 9am and 5pm (closed for lunch 1-2pm).
Should you require assistance outside of these hours please present at your local Garda Station.
When presenting at your local housing office you will require photo identification – public service card, drivers licence or passport. You will also need to provide proof of your current income/social welfare payment – payslip from employer or Post Office.
