There was an increase of 38 per cent in the number of families supported by Galway Simon last year.

Overall last year, it supported almost 1,900 people across Galway, Mayo and Roscommon.
Galway Simon says the housing crisis is deepening, and Government and local authorities must take urgent action to deliver more homes.
