Homeless Dublin man to get €4,500

The directors of a €1.5m trust fund have been told by a court to pay out €4,500 to a homeless man to give him shelter over Christmas and the New Year.

Declan Heffernan had on Monday last asked Judge Jacqueline Linnane for the payout from the trust fund left between him and his sister Carolyn Heffernan by their late mother.

Barrister Rudi Neuman Shanahan had told the court Mr Heffernan had faced living on the streets of Dublin during the bitter winter months.
