18 people were recorded in total in Monaghan and Cavan, in February that figure was 22. Oonagh Doyle from Dundalk Simon Community, says the drop locally is welcomed but more needs to be done. She is calling on the government to recognise homelessness as a national crisis and to respond to it as the emergency it is.
