The latest homeless figures "must serve as a wake-up call to the zombie government", a Dublin politician has said.
There were 11,742 people, including 3,373 children, in emergency accommodation, according to the new stats released on Friday afternoon. The overall number is just a small decrease of 12 cases from February.
There has been a jump of 1,881 people homeless in Dublin over the last 12 months with a total of 8,588 people without a home in the capital. The figures have been slammed as disgraceful by Cllr Daithi Doolan.
