Almost 8 thousand people are now homeless nationwide.
Roughan Mac Namara from Focus Ireland says it shows the crisis is deepening.
In a statement this lunchtime, the Housing Minister has said he learned with regret about the deaths of the two individuals, and said the current unprecedented levels of homelessness are totally unacceptable.
Minister Eoghan Murphy will hold an Emergency Housing Summit with the Chief Executives of Ireland’s local authorities next week.
