Irish charity urges checking on elderly, homeless as cold snap hits, temperatures drop.

A charity in Ireland is urging the public to check on elderly and vulnerable people as a cold snap hits the country, with temperatures expected to plummet and possibly bring snow. The charity warns of dangerous conditions for both older adults and homeless individuals, especially those not accustomed to harsh winters. They advise contacting ALONE for energy cost concerns and using the 'Dublin Rough Sleeper App' to alert authorities about those in need. The government is being called to activate emergency initiatives to protect rough sleepers, with some 128 people currently homeless in Dublin.
