Hundreds of new beds are available to homeless people since Jonathan Corrie’s death galvanised us into action. But the number of people on the street is still growing.
IT’S 10.15am, small glass jugs of milk have been filled, napkins placed on tables, and the oven is full with breakfast rolls wrapped in tinfoil.
Outside a queue is forming. But this is not the latest hipster coffee shop. Instead, it’s one of many homeless services throughout the country which are struggling to assist the ever-increasing number of individuals and families without homes.
Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of the death of Jonathan Corrie who perished on a doorstep within sight of Dáil Éireann.
