Business leaders slept rough in Cork and Dublin

In a show of solidarity with those who have experienced homelessness more than 125 business leaders slept rough in Cork and Dublin over the weekend.

The Shine a Light event, hosted by Focus Ireland, was held in Cork City Gaol and Christchurch Cathedral on Friday night and Saturday morning.

“This is the fourth year we’ve been running Shine a Light, and the third year it’s been in Cork. About 90 people took part up in Dublin and around 35 to 40 here in Cork,” said Focus Ireland finance director Pat Dennigan.
