Dublin Region Homeless Executive to carry out review into death in flat managed by Peter McVerry Trust
A woman who had previously been homeless had been housed in the property by the Peter McVerry Trust under its Housing First policy, which provides housing to rough sleepers or those in long term homeless services.
The Peter McVerry Trust has said its staff had visited the property daily in the days prior to the discovery of the body, but had seen “no indication or evidence that someone was deceased at the property or in the vicinity”. A spokesman for DCC said the tenant had been issued verbal and written warnings over the problems in the home. The council said that, since July, staff in the Peter McVerry Trust had been “actively encouraging the tenant to surrender the tenancy with a view to commencing a new tenancy on a fresh footing”.
