Talks between Apollo House campaigners and Minister for Housing Simon Coveney ended last night without agreement.

The Home Sweet Home coalition group was in discussion with the Minister and officials for seven hours yesterday.

The two sides failed to agree on policies that were discussed at the meeting.

The group previously published a list of demands that the delegates were planning on bringing up at the meeting. 

The list includes the establishment of 24-hour private rooms for all homeless people for a minimum of six months, to alleviate those sleeping on Ireland's streets; and a referendum on the right to housing.

Speaking afterwards, Mr Coveney said that the discussions would continue over the next few days.

@simoncoveney Oh dear..So you plan to turf homeless people onto the street from Apollo House on Wednesday? Bad move. Very bad.

He said he is hopeful that an agreement could be reached before the deadline to end the occupation next Wednesday.

The Home Sweet Home group and the homeless residents have been ordered by a judge to vacate Apollo House by January 11.
