Figures show drop in rough sleepers in Dublin

The number of people sleeping rough on the streets of Dublin is continuing to fall, according to new figures from the Homeless Agency.

The agency says it counted 104 people sleeping on the capital's streets on November 20.

This compares to 185 two years ago and 275 in 1999.

The Homeless Agency is due to publish its latest report on the state of services for homeless people later today.
