Wayne Stanley from the Clan Simon charity said it was important that the public did not become overwhelmed by the scale of the crisis and the figures rising every month.

Dúirt Wayne Stanley ón gcarthanas Clann Shíomóin go raibh sé tábhachtach nach n-éireodh an pobal clóite le hollmhéid na géarchéime agus leis na figiúirí a bheith ag ardú gach uile mhí.

He reminded the public that the people who rely on support organizations are extremely disturbed by the predicament they are in, as he said.

Mheabhraigh sé don phobal go bhfuil na daoine atá i gcleith le heagraíochtaí tacaíochta thar a bheith suaite ag an gcruachás a bhfuil siad ann, mar a dúirt sé.

Wayne Stanley also suggested setting up a new social infrastructure for those people so that they don't have to spend too much time in their emergency accommodation.

Mhol Wayne Stanley freisin bonneagar úr sóisialta a chur ar bun le haghaidh na ndaoine sin ionas nach mbeidh orthu an iomarca ama a chaitheamh ina lóistín éigeandála.

The charity Threshold indicated that the situation is getting worse because the wizard landlords are leaving the sector.

Thug an carthanas Threshold le fios gur i ndonas atá an scéal ag dul de bhrí go bhfuil an draoi tiarnaí talún ag imeacht as an earnáil.

Another charity, Depaul, said the latest figures were "hugely disappointing" and "another shocking milestone".

Dúirt carthanas eile, Depaul, gur "údar mór díomá" agus "cloch mhíle uafásach eile" atá sna figiúirí is deireanaí.

According to the chief executive of the organization David Carroll the poverty among people in emergency accommodation and the hard struggle they have with life, is like a pandemic.

Dar le príomhfheidhmeannach na heagraíochta David Carroll go bhfuil an bhochtaineacht i measc daoine i lóistín éigeandála agus an streachailt chrua atá acu leis an saol, go bhfuil sé cosúil le paindéim.
