Remember that dead homeless man people were concerned about? Turns out he was a nonce

Like the debacle of Apollo House, this is another case of virtue signalling gone horribly wrong.

You are one sad sad person.

He was a paedo, hope he died roaring.

Have we nobody doing background checks on people arriving in this country?

Would someone be let into Australia with that record?

There's a joke in there somewhere.

The Culture of spin doctoring can be thanked....highlighting issues by using the big poignant media moment.

Wasn't he deported from Aussie?

He indecent assaulted two young girls, intentionally gave someone HIV and amassed 40 court convictions. I think we can cancel the charity concert.

His face is so familiar

But the issue of homelessness is entirely different to judging the merits of anyone who has to live like that. In the sense that I don't assume that anyone who is homeless is particularly good or bad. And for those who died, the revelation that they were a saint or a scumbag makes no difference to my take on the issue, which is that it's a depressing end for anyone.

Unfortunately people do judge people who end up homeless as deserving to do so.

Two other homeless women died last week too, better not pull the knob off yourself too hard over this one in case it turns out they were wrong'uns too and you get another to jizz all over basic human empathy because you think it proves some kind of a point about some bullshít.

Reason why I never jump on the sympathy bandwagon. Always wait for the full facts to come out.

Well I guess this is proof for the OP that there is no housing crisis at all.

But only if you're judging them as a person. For example, if I heard someone died in a tragic accident, I can say it was a tragic accident, it is completely divorced from the question as to whether they were a good or bad person.

Nobody deserves to die on the streets, I wouldn't even leave an animal lying in the street to take their last breaths. But I think people on the street need far more help than just a house. Look at Johnathon Corry, uproar because he died outside Leinster house and that Enda Kenny should be ashamed of himself but it was actually a heroin overdose that killed him.

I would have got my bus from the quays/westmoreland street a good bit and it was a regular occurance to see people passed out, or actually selling methadone openingly along that stretch.

From working in the city centre for years, seeing people on the street and offering to buy them tea or food, 9 times out of 10 they wanted money and some could be quite aggressive if you showed any sympathy whatsoever. I remember one man hounding me and being quite pushy for 4 euro for insulin as he was diabetic when I asked if he wanted tea. I wouldn't give him cash and when I brought back his tea he was quite intimidating for "just four euro".

There's lots of reasons people are on the streets and until those reasons are acknowledged and have an appropriate care system in place giving them social housing is not going to make their lives much better.

Dublin City centre is one of the worst cities I've ever seen for drugs and I've been around. It's disgusting walking down o Connell street seeing people out of their box doing squats from too much gear. People passed out in doorways, nodding off on the Luas, that laneway down by jervis seems to be always full of them.

The city centre is like the walking dead, and no amount of flats or apartments will change that.

And a bunch of buskers taking over a building didn't solve it either.

First time poster, what have you got to say on the matter...

At least he picked a good name this time. Have to "admire" posters who are too chickensh*t to just say what they want on their main profile so they make a new one.

If only someone hadn't offered him a room in their house.

So do you give reserved judgement cards out at funerals?

“I might be sorry to hear you died... in about 6 months”

Must be a great feeling knowing you’re right after a person dies to go around telling people you knew it all along

There would not be too many people defending a paedo to be fair. Lowest of the low.

There's not much lower than a paedo, or someone who deliberately would infect another with HIV, ill give you that. I personally don't think they should ever see the light of day for those crimes but I'd stop short of leaving them to die on the streets
