A homeless man seeking warmth sought refuge in A+E in Waterford last week.
That's according to Vivienne Burns, chairperson of 'Helping Hand' Waterford.
Ahead of the ending of the eviction ban on March 31st, Vivienne says services will feel the pressure.
Speaking on Déise Today, she says the man had nowhere else to go.
She added:" We got a phone call the other night. The gentleman was in A&E for warmth because he has nowhere else to go.
"This was 9:30 on Saturday night. I had been out with another charity and had not got home until 3:00 A:M the previous night.
"I contacted Stephanie Keating who is on our committee and who is also a councillor.
Stephanie called the Hostel and luckily a pod had become available."
