One night I was woken up by a Garda, by him booting
me in the ribs, because, he said, `I can't be arsed
bending down and I don't like touching shit with my
hands!'
My name is David and I am homeless. I was asked to
write a piece on the reason for my situation and my
experiences of being homeless. This is it. I am sorry
if it comes across as a sob story,  it isn't
meant to and I am not looking for sympathy or for
people to feel sorry for me. As it is things are
looking up for me at last but it probably does come
across that way because after a long time spent
thinking about it, there aren?t many good things that
I can say about it.
Contrary to popular belief homeless people haven't
brought the situation on themselves and do not choose
to live that way, as is the case with me. After my
mother passed on, I decided that I wanted to get away
from Liverpool and go back to my home country of
Ireland, (having left when I was six or seven because
my Mum and Dad split up, my Mum being from Liverpool
she took me back to be with her parents.) as I had no
family left there, being born an only child and late
on in my parents life (my Father had passed on two
years earlier and I had no family in Ireland either.)
I had nothing to keep me there and I felt I needed a
change.
Continue
to the rest of the story.

Threshold
has some
good resources which indicate that if David were
to wait for "social housing" he could wait as long as
12 years.
More of this research is at Focus Ireland
calls into question (pg. 126) the role that land
speculation and the
planning process in the provision of "social
housing".
As part of a response to the situation the evangelical
Dominican Friars run the Merchant's Quay
Project and the Simon
Community and St. Vincent
de Paul undertake similar work.
However David can rest assured that the proper
authorities have the problem in hand. As long ago as
the 21st of January 2002, Minister Bobby Molloy, in a
criticism
of a Focus Ireland report said "[...]There is no
escaping the fact that there are far too many people
homeless and this Government is totally committed to
dealing with the problem of homelessness. We have made
considerable improvements in the way we are addressing
the problem."
