'Homeless services are in turmoil' says charity after woman dies in doorway

Early morning commuters walked past a dead homeless woman on a Cork City street before her body was found.

Gardaí say the Irish woman, who was 40, was discovered dead at around 11am yesterday in a doorway on Lower Oliver Plunkett St.

It is believed she had died at some stage overnight or earlier that morning, as she slept in the doorway on the busy city-centre street.
