Crisis summit on homelessness after vigil

A summit to address the homeless crisis will take place tomorrow after an outpouring of grief over the death of Jonathan Corrie just metres from Leinster House. 

The summit will take place in Dublin and was announced by Alan Kelly, the environment minister, following numerous calls for prompt and serious measures to ease the crisis around rough sleeping.

The calling of the summit came as Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin, said a church building in the north inner city would be made available to house homeless families — hopefully before Christmas.
