Cork Simon Community Are Urging Homeless People To Contact Them If They Need To Take Shelter During Storm Lorenzo
The charity say anyone who needs a place to stay will be accommodated at their shelter on Anderson's Quay
The shelter has been operating at almost double capacity in recent days, with unprecedented demand for bed spaces, however Cork Simon say they will be rolling out additional bed spaces as they are required.
Figures released this week show there are now 419 people living in emergency accommodation in Cork, while RedFM News recently highlighted a tented village close to the city centre where over 20 people are living.
Speaking to RedFM News, Paul Sheehan from Cork Simon Community says they will explore all options to get people out of harm's way:
