Anthony Flynn, executive director of Inner City Helping Homeless (ICHH), said he was “completely saddened” by another death on our streets.
He said: “We have constantly called for the activation of the ‘Cold Weather Initiative’, this has failed before we start. No one should be on the streets in a pandemic.
And he added: “How loud do we have to scream, how many more have to die?”

Feed Our Homeless founder Tony Walsh echoed those words.
He said: “It is very sad to hear that another life has been lost in the streets.
“We have been constantly calling on the Minister of Housing and also the relevant authorities to activate the much needed emergency beds of the Cold Winter Initiative to help the most vulnerable on our streets.
“And most importantly, help prevent deaths like this on our streets.”
He added: “No one should have to lose their life in this way or sleep in the open in unacceptable conditions, especially during a pandemic.”
