Ireland’s homeless crisis has once again hit a new low as an image of a 4 year old girl sitting on the streets of Dublin has gone viral.
In an image that unfortunately has become frequent in recent times, the little girl can be seen eating her dinner whilst sitting on a crate.
The shocking image which was uploaded by Ballymun Soup Run on social media with the caption ‘Our Government are to blame for this’, has left many people outraged by the fact that such an incident is occurring on our streets.
The photo has also led to Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald to criticise the Government over its handling of the homeless crisis in the Dail.
In address to the Taoiseach, McDonald said the image was heart wrenching and it’s not the first time we’ve seen images of children eating their dinner in such circumstances.
She added the image reflected the sharpest edge of a bad policy and of bad government which has seen house prices go up and up.
