Homelessness protesters vow to fight on
Protesters today pledged to keep fighting in their bid to hand a petition on homelessness to Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, as calls for a Dáil debate on the issue were refused.
Around a dozen campaigners wanted to personally present Mr Ahern with 20,000 signatures supporting their demand to use money from sale of the UCD Veterinary College site – which raised more than €170m – to help people living rough in Dublin.
