Dublin GAA legend Philly McMahon said he gets triggered every time he sees a homeless person on the street after his late brother’s own experience of homelessness.
The GAA star lost his older brother John in 2012, aged 31, after a long battle with addiction and has told how his death changed him as a person and his attitude towards addiction.
The All-Ireland winner from Ballymun said he also finds it upsetting to see homeless people on the streets, after witnessing the heartbreaking reality of living rough first hand through his brother, saying: “It’s close to home.”
