Cork singer spends almost a year travelling to Dublin for unique housing protest

A Cork musician has been travelling to Dublin every week for almost a year to stage a unique protest highlighting the homeless crisis.

Martin Leahy travels from west Cork to Dublin every week to perform his original song 'Everybody Should Have a Home' outside Dail Eireann every Thursday at 1pm. Last week was the singer's 42nd consecutive week since beginning in May 2022.

Martin has been a singer and a musician for the past 25 years, and released his first single in December 2020 called 'Song For Kirsty MacColl'. His following two singles received airplay nationwide and were listed on RTE Radio One Recommends List.
