Name-calling, exclusion and feeling ignored
The future of Inner City Helping the Homeless (ICHH) seems to be in jeopardy.
Amidst a crime crisis, an electricity crisis, the likely loss of our keystone corporation tax rate, the aftermath of the longest lockdown in the western world, record waiting lists, record homelessness, and record house prices, it really comforts the soul to know that Ireland’s political leaders are focused on the issues that matter to each and every one of us:
