Homelessness in the West of Ireland | Galway News

Homelessness in the West of Ireland has skyrocketed over the past decade, with numbers more than tripling since 2016. Galway leads in adult homelessness, but Mayo saw the steepest jump—from just four to nearly 200. Child homelessness has also surged dramatically. Experts warn the instability harms mental health and increases future risk of homelessness. Over 24 pensioners and 80 young adults are currently without homes, while nationally, more than 17,000 people—including over 5,000 children—are homeless. The crisis is deepening, with no signs of slowing down.
