Several dozen people have taken part in a vigil outside Leinster House in memory of a homeless man who was found dead.

The body of 43-year-old Jonathan Corry was located yesterday morning just metres away from the Dáil on Molesworth Street.

This evening the man's friends and campaigners working with homeless people held a minute silence after a candlelit vigil.

Bouquets of flowers and candles have also been left at the doorway where his body was discovered.
