People are taking to the streets in town today in protest against the Dublin homeless crisis.
The protests around the city are aimed at getting the government to take more action against the steadily worsening issue, with the number of homeless in Dublin now thought to be almost 10,000.
A Raise The Roof march is also being planned in Cork on Monday, with a total of 12 events planned in cities and towns around the country this month.

RTÉ News reports that they are “calling for the Government to declare the housing crisis a national emergency, to end evictions and to build 10,000 social housing units a year”.
Almost 10,000 people are thought to have taken part in the last major protest held in Dublin back in December.
