The warning that we can anticipate that more homeless people will die on the streets of Cork can hardly be ignored. It came from Cork Penny Dinners just days after the second homeless man to die in the city in under two weeks was buried.

There are many reasons people find themselves on the streets and none of us can be sure that we will not face those circumstances.
