Residents make strong objections to proposed Simon wet centre

NEW moves were underway yesterday to allay the fears of residents trying to block plans for the city’s first shelter for homeless street drinkers.

Dublin Simon Community wrote to Cork’s Lord Mayor Deirdre Clune outlining how it operates a similar facility as part of a 30-bed hostel on Harcourt Street.

These management structures are expected to be implemented in the proposed Cork centre.
