Charity group plea to use Irish Water refund to help homeless

The public is being asked to redirect their Irish Water refund towards the homeless crisis.

Focus Ireland, the Simon Community and the Peter McVerry Trust have all joined forces to ask people who are about to get their repayment and can afford to do so, to donate it to the Refund Project.

The Refund Project was set up by the three charities and is chaired by Kieran Mulvey the former head of Workplace Relations Commission.
