Charities voice fears for safety of homeless

After a young man died in a doorway during freezing conditions, a homeless charity said it was extremely worried about people sleeping rough during the current cold snap.

Gardaí who found Paul Doyle, 33, from Bray, Co Wicklow, at the entrance to the Tesco Express in the town on Saturday, believe he died from hypothermia.

Simon’s national spokeswoman, Niamh Randall, said the charity sympathised with Mr Doyle’s family.
