Horror of 20 homeless deaths in Dublin this year

A BOY under the age of 17 was among 20 homeless people who died in Dublin in the first four months of this year.

Data released by the Dublin Region Homeless Executive to Aontu leader Peadar Toibin through a Freedom of Information request also shows four people between the ages of 20 and 29 passed away.

It remains unclear whether those who died were sleeping rough, or lived in a hostel or emergency accommodation.

The figures only relate to the "deaths of homeless service users reported to the Dublin Region Homeless Executive".

Eighteen of those who passed away were male and two were female.
