Upgraded homeless shelter includes nail bar

Riverview House ,North Mall, Cork, is a six-bed facility that aims to provide a “home away from home” for girls and women aged 15-19. It is run by Good Shepherd services in conjunction with Tusla, the child protection agency.

Its last revamp was in 2003, so Cork businesses joined forces and provided more than €7,000 worth of paints, flooring and kitchen appliances for a revamp that includes a communal kitchen, a specially made fireplace and a nail bar where residents can chat and relax while getting their nails done by staff members.
