A TD yesterday blasted the homeless crisis after it emerged a young woman sleeping rough was bedding down for the night in a tumble dryer.
Dublin Central TD Gary Gannon described the shocking revelation as “outrageous” and laid the blame squarely at the Coalition’s feet. Streetlink Homeless Support revealed how a woman in her 20s was sleeping in an industrial-sized tumble dryer outside a service station in the north of the capital.
Deputy Gannon said: “This is an appalling indictment of the failure to provide emergency accommodation that people feel safe in.” His comments come as homeless numbers reached a record 11,632 – with 3,442 of them kids.
