Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said working on solutions to address the homelessness crisis kept him awake at night. “Particularly when it comes to kids, people find it [homelessness] offensive, and I find it offensive too that children are in emergency accommodation. That impacts on their education and lots of other things,” he said during an interview on RTÉ’s Late Late Show on Friday. Mr Varadkar also said housebuilding needed to be “ramped up” but he was not willing to cut corners to solve the housing crisis. “Some preparation is under way but no country could ever be fully prepared for a no-deal – and there won’t be a no-deal Brexit,” he said.
