Absolute uproar as RTE’s homeless “Stuck in the Rough” makes for hard viewing

As thousands of Irish people sleep rough around the country on streets, park benches and hotel rooms, RTE’s “Stuck in a rough” was very hard viewing.

Many social media users say that Ireland should look after its own before taking in thousands of migrants from around the world, and this documentary would certainly back up those claims.

Dan Orlovs is only 20 years old and was one of the main people featured in the documentary. He’s been waking up for months with severe pain in his legs as he sleeps rough. Sleeping on the streets of Dublin with little more than cardboard for insulation is not good for your body, he explained.

It’s just one terrible example of how Micheal Martin, Leo Varadkar, Eamon Ryan, Simon Harris and Stephen Donnelly have let the people of Ireland down.
