Sinn Fein MEP Liadh Ni Riada has called on the government to address the homeless increase in the South East.
It comes following the release of figures by the Department of Housing which shows 282 people sleeping rough in the region.
The figures also show an increase of 27% of homeless people in County Wexford.
The Ireland South representative says the figures are unacceptable and calls on the government to address its failed homelessness policy.
