Dun Laoghire County Council is refusing to provide housing for Margaret Watson and her 25-year-old daughter Fran despite huge public support for their plight. Margaret and her growing band of supporters have now been picketing Dun Laoghaire County Hall for eight days. At night Margaret sleeps outside the County Hall in a tent donated by a prominent local artist. Over 3500 bypassers have now signed her petition in support of her demand for immediate housing. Council refuses to budge as homeless woman’s health deteriorates |

Sophia Housing has just built a new transitional care unit in Donabate. I believe it is for people who find it hard to manage a household e.g. budgeting, children, working. There is 24 hr. support and training available for residents (and its near the beach).
Why doesn't someone contact Sophia Housing on behalf of this woman, and get her a place in Donabate.
