Family homelessness in Dublin has risen for the sixth year in a row.
Focus Ireland's Review of 2018 shows that as 2019 looms, there are 9,968 people homeless across the country - just under 70 percent of them in the Dublin Region.
The charity has worked with over 15,000 people in the past 12 months and say despite their efforts, the number of families entering homelessness has increased.
They're urging the government to take more action, and have criticised the current "over-reliance" on the private rental market and the low numbers of social houses being built.
