‘Homeless people are Ireland’s refugees’ - Colin Farrell says politicians must act

Irish Hollywood star Colin Farrell said homeless people in Ireland are refugees in their own land.

The actor was one of many Irish celebrities speaking out about the crisis as the takeover of Apollo House to house rough sleepers in the capital continues.

“What is a refugee? It’s somebody who has to move from place to place without a home to try and find some sense of existence or some sense of peace and that’s what the homeless community in our country is and they’re basically refugees in their own land,” he said yesterday.
