Through The Cracks was created by poet and visual artist Ingrid Casey with Bold Puppy film-makers Nathan Fagan and Luke Daly and director of photography Kevin Minogue.

Ms Casey spoke at the recent Danielle Carroll Summer School and told how, when she became a lone parent in 2014, she very narrowly avoided homelessness.

A Day For Danielle

Through The Cracks is a ten-minute film about families living in emergency accommodation in Ireland.

It’s been created by poet, visual artist and lone parent Ingrid Casey with Bold Puppy film-makers Nathan Fagan and Luke Daly and director of photography Kevin Minogue.

It will launched at Inspire Galerie on Gardiner Street this Wednesday at 6pm, followed by a panel dissuasion chaired by Clare O’Connor, the director of Inner City Helping Homelessness.

Ingrid, who gave a speech at the recent Danielle Carroll Summer School, said:

“When I became a lone parent in 2014, life was very frightening in terms of changing my housing situation and I had narrowly avoided homelessness. However, these stories in the news continued and continued, and I knew when Danielle Carroll died that I could do something, and that I had to.”

The documentary is linked with a People’s Housing Plan petition on UPLIFT calling on the Government to build more public housing and to stop its reliance on the private developers.
