Ciara Grant is being treated for cancer I thought my prayers were answered when I spoke to a lovely girl in CPS (Central Placement System), which is a part of Dublin City Council.
She adds: What I didn t know was I was entering drug-ravaged homeless accommodation. I have pictures of drug paraphernalia and other unhygienic material which littered the accommodation they put me into.
Two women died in a homeless centre into which Ciara had been put last July.
Ciara stresses that because of her health she cannot afford to be so close to danger. They still continue to try and put me into these hostels, she remarks. It s actually safer staying in my car.
I ve been tempted to set a homeless person s tent on fire on a few different occasions, just to ensure they have a proper roof over their head that night.
Those are the words of Alan Lawes, a long time volunteer with various agencies that support Ireland s homeless, clearly illustrate the frustration homeless aid workers feel with the system.
Lawes, an inner-city Dubliner, who is an Independent councillor in his adopted county of Meath, works with a community alert group in his own neck of the woods and with Inner City Helping the Homeless (ICHH), in the capital.
He s adamant the system is letting the homeless down.
