The sister of a homeless man found dead in a tent said he was “let down” and abandoned by the State.
Thomas Boyd was discovered unresponsive as he slept rough on Loftus Lane in Dublin city centre on March 21 last year. His family say they still don’t know how he died and they blasted the Government for the worsening housing crisis.
The dead man’s heartbroken sister Helen Dowling said: “Thomas was let down by the State, he could have been saved. On 21 September he went into a rehab and spent a couple of weeks there.
