Emergency and Outreach services preparing for busy weekend ahead of Papal visit

As a result of the increased traffic and crowds heading into Dublin’s city centre for the visit of Pope Francis, supporters have expressed concerns for people rough sleeping in the area.

Our Rough Sleeper and Soup Run teams will be operating on the streets as usual, and will be finding accommodation for people as well as medical intervention and food for anyone who finds themselves sleeping rough over the weekend.

All of our emergency and supported accommodation will continue, uninterrupted, providing our essential services to those who rely on us.

They can log their whereabouts via the DRHE website and a this will be followed up on.
