Number of rough sleepers down by almost a third but figures 'still far too high'

The number of people sleeping rough in Dublin has dropped by almost a third, according to the latest Dublin Region Homeless Executive report.

There were 91 individuals recorded as rough sleepers in the last week in March compared to the 125 confirmed by a survey in Spring in 2021.

However, there was a reported sharp spike in the number of homeless deaths last year compared to 2020.
