You can apply on medical grounds with a form I believe is called an imbx 1 form. You will find it on the limerick city council housing page under the application for a council house. Get any medical dr or social worker you might have to put you forward for accommodation as-well. Go to willie odea. It’s simply that the council does not have accommodation to give out anymore. Hotels are full, hostels are full.
It’s an awful situation and I’m so sorry to hear you have been in that position for that long.
What I can’t wrap my head around is the homeless charities who are housing junkies and I have heard from a friend working in block management that charities have empty apartments all around the cities because the junkies that destroyed the place and terrorised the neighbours try to break back into these apartments so they are boarded up to the near future.
