Dublin homeless services will address the “challenge” of ensuring the 200 people who have taken “severe weather” beds have somewhere to go after the severe weather ends. Eileen Gleeson, director of the Dublin Region Homeless Executive (DRHE), was speaking yesterday as 10 “severe weather” beds were added to the 90 provided on Tuesday at a sports hall in Dublin 8. “When you think about it, there are about 200 extra beds just this week and they are full,” Ms Gleeson said. The challenge will be, where do they go after this severe weather? Anyone concerned about someone sleeping rough in Dublin is asked to report their location to the DRHE at homelessdublin.ie/report-rough-sleeper.
