The number of people accessing emergency accommodation has increased to another record high of 14,429.

Department of Housing figures for July, show 4,401 children are homeless.

The report also shows 2,096 families are experiencing homelessness, a 257 increase on last year.

Just under 10,500 men, women and children are homeless in Dublin.

The figures do not include people sleeping rough, those that may be couch surfing or homeless in hospitals or prisons, or those who are in a shelter for asylum seekers, or domestic violence centres.
