Homeless charity provides 14 houses in Limerick

Up to nine homeless people will have a home to call their own this Christmas as the Peter McVerry Trust moves into Limerick for the first time.

The homeless and housing charity is to provide 14 houses in the city and county over the next four months.

Five apartments in the city centre will be handed over before Christmas while the remaining nine will come on stream in the first quarter of 2017.
