A man who was sleeping rough on the streets of Cork has been found dead in the city. A Garda spokesperson said that the body was discovered on Lower Oliver Plunkett Street around 1.30pm, following a report to Gardaí. The discovery of a body on Lower Oliver Plunkett St today is not being treated as suspicious. It comes weeks after three homeless men died in the city centre within six weeks. The third man who died on June 8 was also found on Lower Oliver Plunkett Street and it prompted accusations that the Government has been ignoring the homelessness crisis.
