Need for supplies has increased by an 'awful lot' due to hot spell, homelessness charity says

A homelessness charity in Ireland, the Dublin Simon Community, reported that the demand for supplies like water and sunscreen among people sleeping rough has significantly increased due to a recent heatwave. Temperatures in parts of the country have exceeded 30 degrees Celsius, prompting repeated warnings from Met Éireann about the risk of heatstroke. Outreach workers are distributing additional supplies, though there has been no major rise in reported cases of heatstroke or sunburn. Service managers emphasized the importance of seeking shelter during the day and recommended local resources such as Focus Ireland Café and Merchants Quay Ireland. They also encouraged the public to use the Dublin Rough Sleeper Alerts app to report locations of individuals experiencing homelessness.
