Volunteers providing food and clothing to international protection applicants sleeping rough in Dublin have reached ‘breaking point’

The number of homeless asylum seekers in the State has increased to 2,454, an increase of more than 700 on last week.

“Despite intensive efforts to source emergency accommodation the department is currently not in a position to provide accommodation to all international protection applicants due to the severe shortage. A system of triage of adult males has been implemented to ensure that those who are most vulnerable are prioritised for the provision of accommodation,” the Department of Integration said in a statement.
