What a sight.
People working together, carrying beds into Apollo House for Dublin’s homeless to sleep on in the very early hours of yesterday morning.
The Home Sweet Home group took over the empty office building on Thursday evening and have since gotten the electricity and water turned on, gotten rooms set up, they’ve had Dublin Fire Brigade in to inspect the building ensuring that it’s safe and now this – beds.
The above video was filmed by Damien Farrell and shared by éirigí on Facebook saying:
“Éirígí activists, along with dozens of others from many groups and from none, helped to get the citizen-operated homeless accommodation up and running. The first residents were in their rooms within a couple of hours of the NAMA building being taken over. This is people power in action.”
Incredible work.
