‘Stop talking and do something for the homeless’

The head of a Capuchin Day Centre, which feeds hundreds of homeless people every day, has appealed to the Government to do something about the crisis — not just talk about it.

The centre in Dublin that Br Kevin Crowley established in 1969 is busier than ever; it provides meals to some 4,000 people a week and distributes 1,200 food parcels.

Br Crowley, 79, from Enniskeane, Co Cork, told RTÉ radio he fears the homelessness crisis will get even worse.
