Record levels of homelessness have been recorded in Cork.
553 adults were accessing emergency accommodation in the county in July.
While 183 children were declared homeless across Cork and Kerry.
Speaking to RedFM News Paul Sheehan from Cork Simon expects the figures to rise heading into the winter:
"553 people stuck in emergency accommodation, it's the highest on record. It's the first time that it's gone through the 550 mark and it's only worsening. What's of concern to us now as we head into the Autumn/Winter season is that's when we usually see homelessness figures increase."
