Figures provided by the DRHE to TheJournal showed that 30 people in the Dublin region had passed away during the same three month period. In 2020, 79 homeless people died in the Dublin region, an increase from 49 in 2019. In 2018 there were 47 reported deaths. “Meanwhile, anyone who is homeless, whether they are rough sleeping or in emergency accommodation needs quick access to long-term stable accommodation with the appropriate wraparound support.”The rise in deaths last year prompted the commissioning of a report to analyse the data concerning deaths in homeless services for 2020, with the additional aim of identifying where the provision of care to homeless people provided homeless and health services can be improved.
Likewise, when asked today by TheJournal about the status of the report, the Department of Housing pointed towards Minister O’Brien’s 28 April answer that it was “due for completion in the coming weeks”.
Forget it. This government does not care... Never has. 😡😠
People that already have roofs over their heads moaning about getting houses when people are dying on the streets with no homes.
Illegals get lovely homes on the Bray coast
So sad.
But where they covid .....
Our government have exasperated this situation. We could have build hundreds of units for temporary housing for homeless people. And all in the same year where they have committed 100s millions for housing asylum seekrs This is criminal in my view.
