Housing Crisis: Charity CEO let family sleep in his office instead of at station

The chief executive of a Dublin charity offered his office, at midnight, to a homeless family with two children.

Cheryl Barnewell, Glen Concannon, and their sons, Clayton, 9, and Rocco, 23 months, were among seven homeless families who could not find emergency accommodation in Dublin on Tuesday night.

They had been advised to sleep in a Garda station when no emergency accommodation was available for them. The family presented to a station but ended up sleeping on the office floor of a homeless charity.
