Homeless people are being told to go to Garda stations for help according to campaigners.

Focus Ireland says 11 families in Dublin were directed to ask Gardaí for shelter on Tuesday night as there was nowhere else for them to go.

While Inner City Helping Homeless found 173 rough sleepers on the same night in the city – among them 38 women and two children.
