382 people who accessed homeless accommodation services died in the past five years according to new figures released under FOI to Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín. The figures don’t include people who were sleeping rough nor does it include food accessing homeless services outside of Dublin.
Currently there is no national data base to record homeless deaths across the country.
The highest number of deaths were notified in 2021 at 115, while the second highest was last year, with 95 people passing away while in use of services.
