The Restaurant Association Of Ireland has come under fire today for its decision to release a survey on aggressive begging just days after the death of a homeless man in Dublin.

The organisation revealed today that 58 per cent of people feel intimidated by people who look for money and beg on the street, with nine out of ten of the view that aggressive begging is having a negative impact on the attractiveness of Dublin City.
