In part two of our special series into Ireland's housing crisis, we hear from the pair who have been funnelled into accommodation that is often deeply unsanitary and fraught with violence.

Their stories reflect a system with little meaningful clarity on when they can expect permanent housing that will allow them to rebuild their lives and allow them to work again.
