A military veterans’ charity is to establish three new live-in centres for homeless ex-service personnel and also plans to expand a pilot 24/7 mental health support hotline by opening it up to ex-forces families.
ONE (Organisation of National Ex-Service Personnel) chief executive, Cormac Kirwin, said the three new residential centres for homeless veterans will be opened over the next 18 months in Cork, Limerick and Newbridge, Co Kildare.
