'If women’s care has been undervalued, so too have men’s physical strength and their lives'

Last weekend three ex-soliders with experience of homelessness slept rough in Dublin in sleeping bags bearing the Tricolour.

The Sleeping Flags awareness-raising exercise was organised by ONE (Óglaigh Náisiúnta Na hÉireann) as part of a fundraising appeal for its growing network of hostels which provide shelter for ex-servicemen who have found themselves homeless.
