What's Avoca got to do with it?
Aramark is a US owned company which provides the catering, and profits hugely from, 3 direct provision centers in Ireland, as well as a number of Irish college campuses, the Guinness Storehouse and Croke Park. Many people don't know however that Aramark bought out Avoca during the summer from an Irish family, and it's quickly becoming one of their most important assets.
What's wrong with the food Aramark provides at direct provision sites? Serious lack of nutritional value, chips almost every second day, a menu change every fortnight, little to no access to fresh fruit, no access to self-cater or ethnic foods.
The system of Direct Provision will be one of the biggest shame's on the Irish state since the Magdelene Laundries. We want to educate people on Direct Provision, and we will be embarking on a further campaign to end the system of DP in early 2018.
This will be highly impactful two days before Christmas. It's Avoca's busiest shopping period, and we intend to highlight Avoca and Aramark's ties to direct provision.

I wrote this in 2009 while in DP Centre in Ballyhaunis and it is part of Direct provision Diary: 'There is a Christmas tree in the Centre. The Christmas tree is bare. It doesn't have any life in it. The Christmas tree has few Christmas lights that are flickering. It makes me sad to look at the Christmas tree. There are no presents below the Christmas tree. Just the bare tree. I wrote on a piece of paper: 'Another lonely Christmas'! I stuck the note on the wall in my room'.
Can we please help the children, sisters and brothers incarcerated in DP Centres across Ireland to have a decent Christmas full of hope for the better future.

Spent some of last night and very early this morning observing and talking to people homeless on the Streets. While the numbers were down last night, people are forced to walk around town until 10pm and then access a mat on a floor, (if lucky) or sit on a chair. It's not credible for the government to say on one hand emergency beds will be available by Dec 18th, but yesterday the minister was tweeting to say there are adequate places available.
Where? We asked several times..they couldn't tell us.

Back to the original issue, the benches. Where do people go during the day when they don't have a home? Many of the people within the homeless community go to Jubilee Square and socalise, some of them have substance misuse issues, some of them don't, some of them don't even socialise, they sit there because there is other people there and they feel safe. Cutting away seating so that they cannot sit there doesn't help to address the homelessness issue or any ASB issues we have here, all it does it give the message to anyone homeless in Belfast that the council don't care.

Pictured is just 1 out of over 2,000 Vacant properties in the Rathmines area, this house is located on the Rathmines Road just a 5 minute walk from the Minister for Housing, Fine Gael's Eoghan Murphy's constituency office. Shamefully, in Rathmines alone there are at least 15 homeless people that sleep rough every night yet Murphy and his Government are oblivious to the suffering. People who walk by them everyday make the establishments job attempts to divide us easier, and Leo Varadkar's sinister remarks about being for the people "who get up early in the morning" pays no regard to the Homeless who wander the streets from the early hours and sleep with one eye open fearful of an unprovoked attack or being cleared out of a shop doorway by the inhumane arm of the state, the Gardai. We need to stand up for homeless people, those on brink of evictions, Rent increases and substandard and hazardous accommodation. We need to use our platforms in the councils, parliament to challenge the system and to build real change on the ground in communities, so please all my friends take time out to chat to the homeless and bring back humanity to counter against the inhumane profit-seeking system we all want to see banished, and together really make Housing a Human Right.

Simply appalled to see the rent currently be sought for this property as I rented it three years ago for €650 per month. Now €1200? The house has the same old windows and heating system but a fresh coat of paint. It was so cold that I had to buy plastic film to cover the windows to act as double glazing. One week before Christmas, I was informed that the owner was increasing the rent by €100 per month extra if we wanted to stay. I spent Christmas looking for somewhere else to live. I am so saddened by the level of greed and indifference that exists in our society.

In the wake of Ophelia, the TVG would like to express frustration and disappointment at the poor response Travellers and Traveller organisations received yesterday from the emergency services which were deployed across the city. Hours were spent on the phone and in communication with each others, trying to get assistance for people who were struggling to anchor their homes to the ground and keep the rooves of their homes from blowing off. Cork Traveller Women's Network and the TVG contacted a variety of government departments to get help sent onto sites, mainly Spring Lane, the Straight road, Nash's boreen and Corcoran's quay, to no avail. While we appreciate that emergency services were stretched to their limits, it appears that Traveller halting sites were not prioritised in the city's emergency planning and responses, despite the extreme vulnerability of those families living in caravans and trailers on the day of the storm, and despite previous lessons learned in the 2008 floods. These photos were sent yesterday by two families on the Spring Lane site whose mobile homes were seriously damaged in the storm. Today, as we assess the aftermath of the hurricane with Travellers living on sites, the need for emergency help remains. Some families are homeless and need emergency replacement caravans, others are in need of clothes, bedding, and urgent repairs to windows and trailers.

On a dark autumn morning a man in a sleeping bag is curled into the crevice of a doorway, to protect himself from the wind roaring off the Lee. It’s early morning and the sounds of the city are starting to wake the man asleep. Our Outreach worker, Denise, calls his name softly “Mark, are you awake?”, there’s a brief pause, and then she hears him answer; “Denise is that you?”, “Yeah Mark it’s me, I just wanted to see how you are and how you got through the night. Are you coming over to the Day Centre later so you can get ready before you head off?”
The man peeps his head out from under the sleeping bag. There’s a surprising twinkle in his eye for a man who just spent the night sleeping roughing the cold and rain. He smiles at Denise and says; “I’ll be over later, today’s the big day.”
The twinkle in Mark’s eye is hope. He has achieved something remarkable. He has remained sober. He’s battling his addictions and now has the upper hand. Mark has secured a place in a treatment centre. It’s a big victory. We’re already looking at housing options for Mark for him when he completes his treatment so he won’t end up back on the streets sleeping rough.
Step by step your support has helped Mark get this far. Knowing there’s a community of people rooting for him, looking out for him, will help him through the next phase of his battle. Thank you for believing in people.

Here there are, named and shamed:
Agriculture Minister Michael Creed, Employment Minister Regina Doherty, Former Housing Minister Simon Coveney, Minister of State for Defence, Paul Kehoe rents an apartment on Haddington Road, Dublin 4!, Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan, Chief Whip Joe McHugh.

A number of people who have been living in tents along the Royal Canal between Phibsboro & Drumcondra have been given a notice by Waterways Ireland ordering them to leave. The group have been told to leave by 10am on 1st of September (tomorrow), or face a forced removal. Dublin Central Housing Action will rally in support from 9am – and invite all local community and supporters to join them. We will meet at the section of the Royal canal near Crossguns Bridge, across the canal from the Brendan Behan statue.
Dublin Central Housing Action have seen this notice and it is not a legal eviction notice. This is an intimidation tactic being used against a group of people in a desperate situation.
Many people cannot stay in homeless hostels as they find them unsafe, and feel safer sleeping rough. The people living along the canal have banded together for safety, and live there as they cannot find homes.
This notice threatening to forcibly remove homeless people from the area comes on the same day as news of a man dying while sleeping rough on Suffolk Street in the city centre, and of the death of a woman in emergency accommodation in Leixlip. This callous response towards an ever worsening homeless crisis by cannot be tolerated. Displacing a group of already vulnerable people without any supports is a reckless move. The answer to ending homelessness in our communities and guaranteeing dignity and stability to people made homeless is not eviction, but state investment in public housing and support services.
We appeal to Dublin City Council to intervene in this matter and ensure that safe and suitable supports are in place for people living along the Royal Canal for lack of a decent home.

"When you are homeless, the only thing harder than trying to find a place to sleep, is trying to find a place to stay awake". The loneliness can be so difficult, when a person has so much time on their hands, but nobody to share it with. That's why PATH give TIME and a listening ear, which is just as important as the supplies distributed each week. We met an Italian man who is on the verge of becoming homeless. His biggest concern is for his 8 year old daughter, whom he wants his family to shelter, so that she doesn't have to experience life on the streets, as he is about to. We are coming home with empty carts again, and a big thank you to all, for your very kind donations, and a special thank you to tonights crew, Evelyn, Joe, Martin, Delma, Amanda and Trish.

The main reason I brought Limbo to life was to humanise the homeless statistics. We are constantly reading or hearing these statistics across the media on a daily basis. Thousands upon thousands of adults and children are living in emergency accommodation all across the country. It all becomes overwhelming at times and we end up becoming numb to the statistics. I wanted to humanise the statistics and focus on one person battling homelessness in emergency accommodation and allow us live in their world for the duration of the film. If we have achieved anything with the film, I hope we humanised the crisis a little bit more and we understand the situation more.”

For those of you who don’t know me, I am Shane Dunne and I am 30 years old. I live here with my partner and we have two children.
The bank (KBC Bank Ireland) issued an eviction order on my home which came into effect last Friday the 14th of July.
My grandmother built the dwelling in Knocksimon, Killucan, Co. Westmeath in 1980 after my grandfather died. My grandmother die d in 2003 leaving the house to my mother.
In 2004 my mother and her then partner took out a mortgage with KBC to carry out some renovations. My mother was very ill at the time and was awaiting a transplant which resulted in her having no life insurance. She then died in 2009.
My mother left me the dwelling in her will and her then partner moved out of the in October 2009. He has now since married. As a result of her not having life insurance and her partner defaulting on the mortgage the bank are now evicting me. All I wanted to do is to keep my home which I have grown up in all my life and now share with my own family. KBC have refused to negotiate or enter talks. There latest requirement is they cannot enter talks with the Phoenix Project Ireland on my behalf and open the file until they get consent from my mother’s partner. He has refused point blank to sign the consent form.
It is not our mortgage and we have not defaulted, I have fought hard to keep my family home and I have followed all the correct channels. I have spent a substantial amount on solicitors, barristers and courts but to no avail.
Time has now run out for me and my family as the eviction notice has been served and the sheriff is on her way.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my neighbours, friends and family for their support over the last eight years and to all that helped last Thursday night to pack up the house and all our memories from the past forty years. In particular I owe a special thank you to Phoenix Project Ireland they have gone over and beyond their duty to assist me in trying to keep my family home.

My grandmother built the dwelling in Knocksimon, Killucan, Co. Westmeath in 1980 after my grandfather died. My grandmother die d in 2003 leaving the house to my mother.
In 2004 my mother and her then partner took out a mortgage with KBC to carry out some renovations. My mother was very ill at the time and was awaiting a transplant which resulted in her having no life insurance. She then died in 2009.
My mother left me the dwelling in her will and her then partner moved out of the in October 2009. He has now since married. As a result of her not having life insurance and her partner defaulting on the mortgage the bank are now evicting me. All I wanted to do is to keep my home which I have grown up in all my life and now share with my own family. KBC have refused to negotiate or enter talks. There latest requirement is they cannot enter talks with the Phoenix Project Ireland on my behalf and open the file until they get consent from my mother’s partner. He has refused point blank to sign the consent form.
It is not our mortgage and we have not defaulted, I have fought hard to keep my family home and I have followed all the correct channels. I have spent a substantial amount on solicitors, barristers and courts but to no avail.
Time has now run out for me and my family as the eviction notice has been served and the sheriff is on her way.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my neighbours, friends and family for their support over the last eight years and to all that helped last Thursday night to pack up the house and all our memories from the past forty years. In particular I owe a special thank you to Phoenix Project Ireland they have gone over and beyond their duty to assist me in trying to keep my family home.

Not only do 30+ families have to stand in line to use them, but they also have to pay for the pleasure.
It costs €4 to use the washing machine and another €4 to use the drier.

Shock revelations have tonight been released by Inner City Helping Homeless. #ICHH have investigated reports that new "Family Hub" facilities are charging families up to €45 per week depending on circumstances and payments. At the lower end of the payments scale such families are having €37 removed from their social welfare payment in order to stay in a hub. The family hub style situation means that some units could house 30+ families sharing kitchen, laundry and utility rooms.

The Irish Assemblies of God are selling Carraig Eden, a centre for people recovering from addiction - and the asking price is over €2 million.
But, here's the thing - the promised they would sell it to the group supporting the residents - Tiglin - at only a fraction of this price. By the time Tiglin raised the money - the Irish Assemblies of God had decided to go back on their word and sell the centre for a huge profit instead.

Twice today I visited Verdemont, where an extensive fire engulfed apartments last night. To have 30 more families looking for accommodation in the homeless blackspot that is Blanchardstown is a nightmare. It now emerges that the management company insurance only covers accommodation for owner-occupiers. Most families are renting, so are forced tonight to seek help from family/ friends. But many families have nowhere to go. We need a task force involving the council, the Dept of Social Protection and state agencies to accommodate everyone. I am meeting tenants at 9.15am in the morning onsite and our councillors are seeking a meeting with the council. Where is Minister Varadkar while this crisis is going on?
Simon Coveney has been Minister for a year. Over the next few days I plan to mark his 'achievements'.

'We have over 40 people bedded down at present here and it is still very early. This situation has been at peak level for a number of nights but this is the worst I have ever seen it. Homelessness, homeless services are in turmoil. Our coordinator has diverted outreach support teams from other locations to deal with the influx in this particular area and our resources are being severely drained. At present a 27% increase in presentations across the city is what we are dealing with. Our committed and dedicated volunteers are trying to make everyone as comfortable as possible. We need accommodation and urgently. This has been ongoing for 5 nights now with no government or state funded body intervention. A meeting will be held at 9am in order to try and alleviate the problem to some extent, but unfortunately enough is just not being done.We are doing our best in a voluntary capacity.

If you're wondering what we mean by a "standard" of accommodation, have a look at the photos of one hostel a resident was offered when he left Apollo House today. He declined the accommodation.
This was the room he was shown into.

Between 2005 and September 2016 the 26 County state has handed more than 1.2 BILLION EURO to private landlords via these three schemes.
And it gets worse. Through a total of six different schemes the state is on track to give over €8,000,000,000 - that's EIGHT BILLION EURO - to private landlords from 1999 to the end of 2017. In return for this money the private landlords provided citizens with temporary accommodation.
