Homeless figures increase slightly in capital as thousands more at risk

The number of children and adults relying on emergency accommodation for shelter in Dublin has increased by 65, according to the latest homelessness report.

Thousands more people are expected to be at risk of homelessness when the ban on no-fault evictions ends tomorrow. Homeless charity Simon Community has said there is no rental accommodation for these people to move into.

A total of 8,588 people accessed emergency accommodation in the last week of February. Of these, 2,576 were children and 6,012 were adults.
