The number of people who accessed emergency accommodation rose to 14,159 last month, an increase of 150 on the previous month.

That is an increase of 150 on the previous month, when homeless figures surpassed 14,000 for the first time.

The latest figures mean that there has been a 14% rise in those who have entered emergency accommodation in the 12 months. Sinn Fein's Housing Spokesperson Eoin O'Broin said that despite the month on month rise in the figures, the Government has refused to make any changes to its"failing housing plan".

In a statement he said:"This Government has neither the will nor the policies to tackle the escalating homeless crisis. How could they, they are the cause of that crisis."
