Dublin City Councillor Anthony Flynn has called for the council's Homeless Forum to be urgently re-enacted following the last sad death in the capital.
He tweeted: "A young women has been found dead in Dublin Homeless services accommodation it has been confirmed this evening.
"This brings the number of confirmed deaths within homeless services to FIVE this week.
"We need the @LordMayorDublin Homeless Forum re enacted as matter of urgency"!
Councillor Flynn told Dublin Live there was a "black cloud" over homeless services following the deaths.
He said: “Firstly my thoughts and prayers are with the families of all who have lost their lives in homeless services this week.
"This has been a particularly difficult and saddening week for all in homeless services but in particular a heartbreaking one for all the loved ones connected to the individuals.
"I have again today reiterated my calling for the re-establishment of the Lord Mayors Forum in Homelessness.
"We need clear and concrete leadership on this matter. Unfortunately I believe the level of deaths is seriously unreported and have requested that the DRHE give a computer report on the number of death over the last month in particular."
A spokeswoman for Dublin Regional Homeless Executive confirmed the woman's death to Dublin Live.
She said: "The DRHE can confirm there was a death of a woman yesterday in a facility providing emergency accommodation in the Dublin Region.
