People are taking to the streets in town today in protest against the Dublin homeless crisis.
The protests around the city are aimed at getting the government to take more action against the steadily worsening issue, with the number of homeless in Dublin now thought to be almost 10,000.
A Raise The Roof march is also being planned in Cork on Monday, with a total of 12 events planned in cities and towns around the country this month.
