31 homeless people have died in Dublin so far this year.

That's an increase on 2019, which saw 34 deaths across the whole year, according to the Dublin Region Homeless Executive.

10 of the deaths were recorded in July, with seven in the week beginning July 19th.

Dublin City Council says intensive liaison between the DRHE, HSE and Tusla has taken place as a result of the unprecedented spike.

The report says 871 families were in emergency accommodation at the end of June, which is the lowest number since April 2016.
