Homeless campaigners are to hold a protest outside Dublin City Council's offices highlighting the number of people sleeping in tents across the city.
Inner-City Helping Homeless says this week they've experienced the highest number of those assisted by their outreach teams - at 238.
The group wants a multi-agency approach to include drug rehabilitation programmes to help rough-sleepers, they're also calling for mental health programmes and more beds.
Yesterday, a Dublin councillor tweeted a picture of what appeared to be a delivery worker sleeping in a tent:
Bicycle locked. Deliveroo bag ready for the day's work. The new working homeless.
Government is failing to deliver public and affordable housing and failing to control rents.#homelessindublin pic.twitter.com/t9LX5ZcWY0— Lawrence Quinn-Hemmings (@lawrence_green1) August 28, 2019
