A quarter of the Dublin Simon Community's beds were occupied by working people on one night this month.
Staff at the charity are seeing an increase in numbers of working people with nowhere to live and requiring emergency beds. One night this month, 33 of Dublin Simon’s 129 emergency beds were occupied by employed people.
These included cleaners, event and retail security staff, taxi drivers, van drivers and lorry drivers, scaffolders, electricians and construction workers, healthcare assistants and carers, shop workers and retail staff, barbers and bar workers.
