Homelessness figures in Dublin have risen for the seventh month in a row.
The Department of Housing published the grim statistics today, which showed that 5,946 adults were registered as homeless in Dublin last month. The figures are based on the number of people relying on emergency accommodation across January.
The Simon Communities of Ireland expressed concern at the findings. They also called on the government to extend the moratorium on evictions to address the escalating homelessness crisis in Ireland.
