Man sleeping on the streets found dead in Cork city centre

A man who was sleeping rough on the streets of Cork has been found dead in the city.

A Garda spokesperson said that the body was discovered on Lower Oliver Plunkett Street around 1.30pm, following a report to Gardaí.

The man is believed to have been known to homeless services in the city.

Gardaí are not treating his death as suspicious.

A post mortem is being carried out on the body tomorrow.

It comes weeks after three homeless men died in the city centre within six weeks.

The third man who died on June 8 was also found on Lower Oliver Plunkett Street and it prompted accusations that the Government has been ignoring the homelessness crisis.
