Accommodate homeless people from the cities?
Shannonside FM report: "There are over 600 people on the housing waiting list in county Roscommon." Cathaoirleach of the Boyle Municipal District, Rachel Doherty, says that with such long local waiting lists already, it would be crazy to consider any relocation plans and that rural counties like Roscommon and Leitrim do not have any extra capacity to provide accommodation for homeless people from the cities.
