Tent city created outside Dublin council HQ to highlight homelessness

On Monday night, ICHH observed 238 people sleeping rough in Dublin, the highest number ever recorded.

A local councillor has created a tent city outside the offices of Dublin City Council to highlight the plight of the homeless.

Anthony Flynn, the founder and chief executive of Inner City Helping Homeless (ICHH) who was recently elected to the council, put up 16 tents on Wood Quay after his charity reported a marked increase in the number of people living in tents over the last several months.
