€10m allocation not enough for homeless crisis

The homeless crisis is going to get worse despite a €10m budget allocation, while projects working with drug users had their funding "chiselled away" during the consecutive austerity budgets.

The comments were made at the unveiling yesterday of stain-glass panels at the offices of an arts-based drug recovery project in Dublin.

The glass was designed and crafted by people attending RADE (Recovery through art, drama and education) under the guidance of artist Peter Young.
