Absolutely disgraceful: New figures show major increase of 138 people sleeping rough in Dublin this Spring




Figures released today show that almost 140 people slept rough on our streets in Dublin this Spring 2017.

The exact figure of 138 shows a marked increase of just over 35% since the same time in 2016.

The numbers are said to be slightly down on winter 2016 but that’s more than likely a result of some 210 new hostel beds being made available since Christmas.
