Two men found dead in a Waterford hostel last night have been named locally as Paul Crotty and Mark Lyons - both in their mid-forties and from County Waterford.
St Vincent de Paul regional administrator, David O’Neill, expressed his condolences to the men’s families. “Homelessness is a tough one for all and in particular at Christmas time. Anyone could be on the brink of homelessness. It’s very tragic and sad news and our thoughts and prayers are with the deceased and their family and friends,” he said.
