Fr. Peter McVerry Speaks on the Homeless Crisis
"Why does a wealthy country like Ireland have so many homeless people? Why does the number of homeless children just keep on going up and up? How can we respond to homelessness, both individually and as a society."

We hear what life is like in a Direct Provision Centre, from Palestinian Refugee Amani who has two children attending a Dublin University and she herself has a level nine qualification from a Boston University. Michael who works to assist migrants when they arrive in Ireland, outlines the joys and frustrations for him in his work.
