People on streets in the di do day

Ajsoprano

I noticed this morning there was no homeless out on my commute.

Usually I like a good government bashing but credit where it’s due. Keep it up lads.

They were all hidden in scenery painted boxes for RTE to do their incessant on location weather updates.
"Here in Waterford its cold, snowy and windy, commuters are advised to live in fear and sell the kids for food and never go out, ever"or some other such fear mongering crap.

Such lazy listless journalism.

They'll be back once the snow is gone. Too much bad publicity at the moment as there's too much focus on it, so beds will be found but they'll disappear soon.

They weren’t found. They had loads out last night.

Some of us are under too much pressure to notice anything.

Slightly at odds with this report which suggests beds were left empty in one center anyway.

The Papers must have different owners. What is reported in your link is that homeless figures are set to rise by a fair bit because people who have been living in squats are turning up here so will be registered as homeless where the system didn’t know about them before.

"extra emergency beds have been opened."

Excuse my ignorance but why aren't they open all the time?

There are always beds available. For whatever reason some rough sleepers won’t avail of them. It’s these that the current beds are aimed at.

Fella on the phone show saying he’s going around counting homeless people he’s spotted 11 people. Some of them girls. One man under arnotts sign with no shoes and socks on. I know people will say they are mentally ill but surely they can be sectioned for a few days.

People have been sectioned already under the MH act. They might not have had a chance to get to these people yet.

Some were, according to a report on a radio program this morning.

Might get to them tomorrow when they are easier to deal with.

It's very sad as one man couldn't verbally communicate but they managed to get him a bed eventually. The one good thing from this will be that they can be put on the system rather than being 'off grid' as they have been so they can maybe get the help they need.

When I get the bus home from work there's a big 4 man tent in the field opposite my bus stop.
I've only worked there 2 weeks but everyone seems to know him.
I was standing at the bus stop last week and he was getting a takeaway, I thought fair f*ck to him.
Then the snow came and he was gone. There's a well known homeless guy under one of the bridges of the n11 (I think, I don't drive and im useless at roads ) but there was a Facebook post saying he was fine
A man named Peter used to live on bray seafront, we would buy him fish and chips 3 times a week and give him a few quid, my husband loves festivals and would give him a new sleeping bag every few months. Then the council put metal barriers around the old train stops on the seafront

But where do they go?

Abandoned buildings, unfinished sites, car parks.

Wednesday morning, I was on a site in Dublin, a retail carpark, with a part that had never been finished. We made our way to -2 level, and we came across a number of cardboard structures. Site is due to go live on Monday, so we just let them know they'd have to be gone by them.

A cold, damp, underground carpark, in this weather? **** that. And there was literally no help I could offer them, bar let them know that they'd have to jog on from that one bit of safety they had.

No I don't believe that. On the local pages they were saying don't worry they had a roof over their heads....as in they were taken in by an organisation or something

Edit- I absolutely believe what you've posted, I just mean I was led to believe the men I posted about had a safe warm roof over their heads now, mostly due to barrs (bray area rough sleepers support) not just moved to a carpark or similar

pleas advice
