Family support service to close

A HOUSE for homeless women who are more than six months’ pregnant, located in one of Dublin’s most exclusive neighbourhoods, is to close.

And in a move which has been described as “a joke” by a Dublin city councillor, the women will instead be offered a service in a “home setting” despite having no homes to go to.

Eglinton House, at 75 Eglinton Road, Donnybrook, Dublin 4, is to close as soon as the last resident gives birth.
