Video highlighting homelessness to be projected on building

A video which gives a unique insight into the lives of homeless people will be projected onto a landmark Cork building this week to mark a week of action on homelessness.

John Lonergan, the former governor of Mountjoy Prison, launched the Mementos — Snapshots of Life project in the city last night.

The project, which ran at Simon centres in Cork this summer, saw some 30 residents sharing cherished mementos and keepsakes, and the personal stories behind them.
