Homeless men leave accommodation to go back on streets

Two homeless men who were living in public toilets in Ennis have prematurely vacated emergency accommodation in Galway and returned to homelessness on the streets of the Clare county town.

A District Court heard earlier this month that Czech national Josef Pavelka, 52, was living in a public toilet in Ennis, while Pole Piotr Baram, 35, was sleeping in a separate public toilet on Ennis’s Market St.

At the district court in Ennis earlier this month, Judge Patrick Durcan described their living conditions as a “scandal”.
