Madam, - I wish I could be as confident as Mary Higgins (January 6th) that homelessness in Dublin will be solved by 2010.
Her letter serves to underline my point that there is no agreement as to what homelessness is - for driving people off the streets into B & B accommodation is not solving the problem of homelessness.
At the very least there is a problem of communication between the Homeless Agency and the voluntary bodies working with homeless people on the ground. - Yours, etc.,
ROBERT McCARTHY, Dean of St Patrick's, Dublin 8.
