George Street, Cuffe Street, Camden Street and Aungier Street have all been blocked to traffic as a result of the demonstration.Dublin Traffic Update: Due to protests George Steet, Cuffe Street, Camden Street and Aungier Street are all closed.Last week, protesters blocked off Aungier street in protest at the rising homeless figures.
Demonstrators held signs bearing slogans like “Homes not hostels”, “Children first”, and chanted “no more hostels, build more homes” outside Avalon House, which had been earmarked for Ireland’s largest hostel for rough sleepers. Those plans were dropped after locals voiced their opposition to the plan; the Peter McVerry Trust announced that it would open a family hub at the site instead of the 150-bed homeless hostel.
These people protesting are scum of the earth
