Homeless woman found seeking shelter in tumble dryer

Streetlink Homeless Support CEO Padraig Drummond said he discovered the woman's situation last Tuesday and that she said she was reluctant to use hostel emergency accommodation.

A volunteer for a homeless service said he was stunned to discover a young woman taking shelter in a tumble dryer.

Streetlink Homeless Support, a small group founded in March 2020, encountered the woman in Ballymun earlier this week, describing the situation as "degrading". The Dublin Region Homeless Executive (DRHE) has since been in contact with the woman.
