On another note, these hostels should have proper and heavy handed security.
No drugs. No nothing. It's the sjws who seem to back these people taking the hostels at the expense of other homeless.

I remember some guy claiming they prefer to sleep on the street due to not wanting being watched or something. Nonsense.

They should be safe.

In fact, the likes of McVerry should be insisting on safe hostels and strong security, but of course won't.

Thanks for explaining the point. I think it is a poor use of anyone's time to listen to low quality radio programmes presented by stupid ignorant short tempered hosts, but each to their own.

We need a 'support' group or, at the very least, a Facebuke page for Lavhline listeners. It's a disgrace Joe...

Aine is the worst person to have anything to do with homeless people.
She will go on to the next person and if things go wrong it will be
blamed on the homeless person.

Would it have been the same if it was a male homeless person.?

Ok as much as I hated the attitude of Aine I'm going do pull an Aine here.

I've worked in a few Dublin homeless hostels in a voluntary capacity, in so called 'chaotic' hostels (which is code for widespread addiction and mental illnesses) and a 'settled' hostel, for those ready to move on to private rental or council housing.

In the two chaotic hostels, there was serious security. You could bring needles and drugs in your bag so long as they were stored in a locker controlled by the two security staff, but never on your person. Residents were scanned by security staff for metals e.g. needles or foil.

But these items were invariablys muggled in. I was a case worker and was warned never to take my shoes off because of the risk of walking on a needle, which I often came across, despite the security scanning. There was even a sharps bin (for needles) in the washrooms!

People will always find a way to smuggle illicit items into hostels and, frankly, it is naive to believe that a majority of these misfortunate people don't suffer from serious addiction and mental health issues.

Depends what services in lieu he was offering maybe?

Poor Aine The Hero sounded like she needed a good ride to release some of that built up anger.

Actually, back in Old God's time, she would probably qualify for an exorcism
