Dublin City Council boss has slammed support groups that provide tents to homeless people, calling them "merely virtue signallers".
Council Chief Executive Owen Keegan said these groups "continue to promote and sustain rough sleeping". Mr Keegan, who is due to step down from his role in 10 months' time, said the council fundamentally disagree with the provision of homeless services on the street.
Mr Keegan told the Irish Times: "The council does not support the provision of homeless services on street and we disagree fundamentally with those groups – some well-intended some merely virtue signallers – who continue to promote and sustain rough sleeping."
