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.

dobman88 wrote: » I agree with Keane. Why would a church help? What good has religion ever done? I walk my dog down the park every evening and you can see the lads heading down with their tents in by the trees near the lake. They put on a fire and have their few cans. If a shelter was set up, where would it go? Some of these lads would be too proud to go to a shelter and would rather a tent in the park!
