Plan aims to tackle homeless crisis

Simon Communities have presented Government with a 10-point plan in an attempt to help solve the current homelessness crisis.

A national debate on the issue has taken place following the death of Jonathan Corrie, who passed away in a doorway near the Dáil last week. His funeral took place at a crematorium in Dublin on Saturday.

It was also revealed two more homeless people died in Cork City centre the same week. Both deaths are understood to be the result of drug overdoses.
