Yesterday.
Homeless campaigner Sister Stanislaus Kennedy ‘Sr Stan’ made an urgent appeal for donations as she launched Focus Ireland’s Christmas appeal (with the charity’s youngest supporter, 3-week old Amélie Conney, and mother Aoife who works for the charity).
Over 140 babies were born into homelessness in the nearly 600 families supported by the charity in Dublin alone.

If only there was some form of contraception that people caught in the housing crisis could take to prevent getting pregnant.
oooh, you are in for it…
I’m sort of torn on it. My wife and I waited until we had a roof over our heads before we thought about having any kids, that was a big decision for us and we made it based on what we thought was best for a child. But that was us, our circumstances, our decision. We can’t push our feelings onto others even if I think that having children in unfortunate circumstances isn’t prudent.

The greatest gift you can give a child this christmas is as home.
The greatest gift you can give an oligarch this christmas is a €4bn broadband contract
Well if it helps the parents moved up the housing list I’m sure it’s a price that the child (and the tax payers who didnt have kids until they had the means to support them) will feel is worth paying. And everyone who disagrees with me is a “blueshirt”!!
There’s Homeless and “Homeless” I know a girl who had a baby with her boyfriend and is currently living with him in his parents house. She is on the “homeless” list. Word on the street is you get a “single” mother house placement quicker that way. You know, the place where the boyfriend parks his car a few streets over (outside your house and mine) when staying over 5 to 7 nights a week to start on baby number 2 and 3.
