Homeless man James tells his heartbreaking story of living and sleeping rough for the past seven years in this video by Fionn Kane who describes it as a “story that needs to be told”.
A story that includes being urinated upon, physically assaulted, laughed at, disrespected and kicked in the head while sleeping on the streets of Dublin.
You may remember James as the homeless man who was humiliated in McDonald’s a few weeks ago as he sat eating with Alicia Gayson who had brought him a meal. The story went viral.
A horrifying story but a wonderful person for her displays of kindness and empathy.
The release of this video, and James’ devastating story, further highlights Dublin’s, and Ireland’s, staggering homelessness problem and how it continues day in, day out.
