Sleeping rough in Dublin city centre last night
Last night.
Some 162 people – 132 males and 32 females – slept on the streets of Dublin, according to Inner City Helping Homeless.
Further to this…
Olivia Kelly, in The Irish Times, reports:
Almost half the homeless families currently living in hotels in Dublin are to be moved to nine “family hub” emergency accommodation centres across the city and county.
The facilities, which have been leased by Dublin City Council for five years, will cater for approximately 380 families…
Just one of the hubs is a former hotel, Lynam’s Hotel on O’Connell Street, with the remaining eight including buildings owned by religious institutions, large family houses, and former industrial premises.
More than 1,000 families are currently in emergency accommodation and 815 of those are living in hotels. Minister for Housing Simon Coveney has set a deadline of July 1st to end the use of commercial hotels for homeless families.

Moving 380 families to a closed hotel on O’Connell Street. What could go wrong?
The kids better learn to step over used needles and run to avoid being mugged very dammed quick.
Where are the schools coming from for all the kids to go to?
26 families are going there
Who cares? That’s their problem
‘Minister for Housing Simon Coveney has set a deadline of July 1st to end the use of commercial hotels for homeless families.’
not going to happen unless existing homeless families have accommodations to move into.
Ending the use of commercial Hotels by………. moving families into DCC Hotels.
Simon Coveney. you are a genius
Not going to happen once Leo gets in charge and escalates his war on the poor..
oh, and 132 + 32 = 164
The Coveny Laundries.
They aren’t temporary modular accommodations they are rapid build permanent cube dwellings
I wonder are these the people who Leo describes as wanting everything for free.
