Isn't there a place in Killarney across from Scotts lane, next to the cinema like a resource centre or something. Nothing to stop the council opening that up as a soup kitchen for a few hours each evening. Or if something more long term was being lookes at, there's a vacant area in Tesco car park in town next to SVdP, where the playground used to be. Stick a shelter in there. Lots of them already hang around that area anyway. I could see the reluctance of hotels and businesses having a soup kitchen type thing in that resource centre but something definitely needs to be done.

Along with however many set up camp in the park. I kind of.befriended one of them by offering him tea and a sandwich one time. Every so often he will hang around the lane where I live and ask for a cuppa and something to eat. He only ever does it if he's badly stuck but I've told him I'd give him something every night but he declined. I think Donal Grady was on the radio last week saying some kind of centre needs to be set up after a group found a 7 month pregnnant lady living in the park! Whatever about living rough, it's no place for a heavily pregnant woman.
