Call to collect statistics on homeless deaths following two Cork incidentsTHE deaths of two men who were staying in emergency accommodation in the city have sparked calls for official statistics to be collected on homeless deaths in Cork. Mr Garvey said staff at the 76-unit hostel on Anglesea Terrace are right on the frontline of the homelessness crisis and are doing their best to provide services. However, there are fears the impact of the homeless crisis could heighten once winter sets in. He believes statistics should be collated on the deaths of people in emergency accommodation. People are in that level of crisis and we should be responding.”Government figures for July show that 328 adults were homeless in Cork, an increase of 32% in 12 months.
