Galway Council Under Fire Over Homelessness

Galway’s homelessness crisis is hitting boiling point as councilors blast the system for failing vulnerable people—like a parent begging for a bed for their son, who slept rough with just a sleeping bag because every hostel was full. Fourteen others were turned away the same night, sparking outrage over a broken, under-resourced response. Councilors call it a “crying shame,” demanding urgent policy overhaul and local support services to stop people from being forced to travel into the city for help, while COPE Galway and the out-of-hours line—run by an outside contractor—are overwhelmed and ill-equipped to handle the scale of need.
