Dublin is addressing a continent-wide problem as Ireland's homeless are given the right to vote for the first time in the European Union elections on June 7.

This follows a 2022 reform allowing charities to provide addresses to the homeless for voting purposes.

Activists hope this will highlight Ireland's ongoing housing crisis, which has seen the number of homeless people nearly quadruple to 14,000 in a decade.

The issue is expected to be a significant factor in the upcoming elections, especially with the rise of Sinn Féin, a party committed to tackling this crisis.
