The Government has been accused of ignoring the homeless after a third man died in Cork city centre within six weeks. The death comes just weeks after two men in their 30s, who were also known to the city’s homeless services, were found dead on the streets within days of each other. Catriona Twomey, who runs the Cork Penny Dinners soup kitchen charity, said the Polish man visited them regularly. She said they warned the authorities months ago that there would be a rise in the number of deaths of homeless people in the city. Fianna Fáil councillor Fergal Dennehy said he also has concerns that such deaths on the streets are becoming the norm.
