Homeless man Adam Skinner will get to attend his first debs

A 21-year-old homeless man is being given the chance to attend his very first debs after a kind-hearted volunteer asked him to be her date.

Adam Skinner, who is sleeping rough on the streets of Dublin, will attend the ball in style thanks to an outpouring of support from the public.

One generous elderly woman has organised for a white Rolls Royce to chauffeur the couple to the dance, which is being held this Thursday, while Protocol menswear on Dawson Street will provide Adam with a tuxedo.
