Human rights campaigner: ‘Something wrong with approach to homeless’

A leading human rights campaigner has said there is “something very wrong” with how this country was addressing homelessness following the gruesome death of a Polish man.

The body of Henryk Piotrowski, 43, was found after a bin lorry emptied its contents at a recycling plant in Dublin last Friday.

The father of two ended up in a commercial wheelie bin sometime during the previous night. The homeless man suffered broken legs and crush injuries caused by the compression inside the lorry and suffocated.
