    He has a Linkedin profile on his Twitter account. I Googled him and found a few links, could be a completely different guy but....

    Could be different guy but there's a gap in his Linkedin profile that fits the dates...

    "can't get a job because he has no address"

    Yeah whenever I go for a job the first thing they ask in the interview is what is my address.

    He could well put down a hostel or even get a po box.


    If he wanted to he could use a friend's address just for the work part.

    You're right, he'll be sleeping in Santry Garda station in his AIB uniform next.

    Jaysus I would love a house.....

    I've rented for years and paid for so many who don't.

    I am only now getting my own home, paid for by me.

    I can't even afford to live in Dublin and am moving quite a distance out so now have to commute.

    I had to move too, the same situation as yourself saved for a house. If people want a house in dublin they'd won't to be earning a lot, not telling fingal they want a house now.

    I know Lee years💚 we re-connected back I was so happy he was safe to some extent, I wasn’t aware of this personal situation he was going trough, but he one of the most beautiful soul, I am deeply concerned for his welfare trying to reach out to anyone where is he? Phone is gone, he vanished last 3 weeks, I can’t get a hold of him, if any one knows where he is to please reach out me or if he is staying in MQI ... He left something outside my door and clearly was trying to contact me but he hasn't got a phone at the minute does any one know where he could possibly be? I would very appreciative. It has come to this stage I’m trying to reach out anywhere just for himself to know he has to people who love him, I’m aware he is under a lot of stress going trough homelessness we can’t judge somebody because there in this situation I’m fully aware of the the circumstances he is going trough within the fingal council if anybody can give me an update as to where he is…. He is not on social media “, WhatsApp messenger I can’t get a hold of him to put mind it at ease if any one knows that he’s safe and alive ? 💚


    Thank you -A
