Apollo House sit-in: ‘Solidarity, brother, that’s what this is about’

More than 200 beds will be made available for rough sleepers in the capital this week and this morning there is a hearing in the High Court to halt the illegal occupation of Apollo House on fire safety grounds.

Overlooked by the Department of Health and adjacent to Dublin Fire Brigade, Apollo House has become about far more than beds, the law or fire safety.

It has become about civilian action in a time of apparent powerlessness.
