Peter McVery Trust Initiates Cold Weather Response For The Mid East Region

The Peter McVerry Trust has initiated its extreme weather response in Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow.

The homeless charity says it's putting 126 additional beds in place for people who are sleeping rough during the cold weather.

The charity says anyone availing of the beds would be tested prior to their arrival to ensure positive cases get appropriate support and access to isolation facilities.

CEO of the Peter McVerry Trust Pat Doyle says they're trying to get as many people in out of the cold as possible.
