A homeless charity has dismissed suggestions from the head of Dublin City Council to ban people living in tents on the streets.
Owen Keegan said the issue's adding to anti-social behaviour and fuelling the perception that Dublin is unsafe.
He said it shouldn't be allowed when supervised accommodation is available in hostels.
Inner City Helping Homeless says Mr Keegan's comments are "ill informed":
