A homeless man found dead in Dublin yesterday is believed to have travelled from Northern Ireland the day before.
The body of the man, who was in his forties, was found in a tent on Leinster Lane, near Leinster House, early yesterday.
It is understood that he was not known to homeless outreach services.
Attempts are being made to identify him.
A second man was found dead in his home on Longford Street off Aungier Street, also in the early hours of this morning.
The man, also in his forties, was living in long-term sheltered accommodation.
Gardaí are not treating either death as suspicious.
Almost six years ago, on December 1, 2014, the body of homeless man Jonathan Corrie was found in a doorway near Leinster House.
Anthony Flynn, Dublin City Councillor and CEO of Inner City Helping Homeless, told RTÉ no one should be without a bed at this time of the year.
Mr Flynn is bringing an emergency motion to Dublin City Council today to instruct the Dublin Regional Homeless Executive to grant access to a bed to anyone who needs one.
Homeless charity Focus Ireland's chief executive Pat Dennigan said that everyone in the organisation was upset by the number of deaths this year.
"These fatalities are further unspeakable tragedies nearly six years since Jonathan Corrie was found dead near Government Buildings," he said.
"Anyone who is homeless, whether they are rough sleeping or in emergency accommodation, needs long-term stable accommodation with the appropriate wraparound support."
