Letters to the Editor: Repatriation of homeless Romi was an exceptional story

Homelessness is a symptom of many vulnerabilities — many personal — and many the result of dysfunctional institutions and policies that fail to empower

Romi Ramtohul with Alice Leahy at Dublin Airport prior to his departure to Mauritius.

I read with interest Mick Clifford’s article — How two gardaí and the Alice Leahy trust repatriated ‘non person’ Romi (Irish Examiner, November 29).

My admiration is for Romi Ramtohul who had the humility to walk into the homeless drop in centre and give voice to his wish to go home.
