Sr Stan still fighting for homeless 30 years on

Sr Stanislaus Kennedy has admitted she could never have imagined that the homelessness situation would be as bad as it is now when she founded Focus Ireland 30 years ago.

Sr Stan, as she is affectionately known, was speaking at a celebration in Dublin to mark the homeless charity’s anniversary.

“The Government needs to act now to prevent people from having to leave their homes. It really breaks my heart to see young families with nowhere to call home,” she said.
