ARE you fed up hearing about the homeless? Does it all get to be like a broken record, the same sad song being played over and over again, while you’re getting on with getting up early in the morning?

If so, the Taoiseach can feel your pain. Last weekend, he conveyed to us that homelessness in this country is not the big deal it’s being made out to be. It’s all quite normal when one looks at the statistics compared to other countries.
