A total of 3,826 postcards will be presented or posted to Ireland's Housing Minister to symbolise each child in the country experiencing homelessness this Christmas. Housing campaigners from the Workers' Party of Ireland held a giant printed postcard addressed to Eoghan Murphy together with numbers to depict the 3,826 figure. The latest homeless figures show that there were 6,688 homeless adults (4,534 in Dublin), an 11.5% increase since the same month last year.
