The Northern Ireland Housing Executive has launched a new out-of-hours homeless support line.

This move has been welcomed by Sinn Féin MLA Carál Ní Chuilín.

"A service like this which provides help to the homeless when they need it, outside of normal working hours, is long overdue," the North Belfast MLA said.

"I have written to the Housing Executive seeking clarification on how people can access this service, what emergency accommodation is available and how this complements existing homeless support."
