Living Rough on the M50.

[hiker]

Not sure if this issue has been raised elsewhere but it does not appear to be in the Health and Social Affairs section yet.

There are a number of people living rough in the bushes off the M50 at the Ballymun exit.

I see 2-3 young boys each morning and evening begging at the traffic lights at the top of the exit ramp.

I see 2-3 women begging at the traffic lights at the Ballymun Cross at Days Inn Hotel too.

I've been told they are living rough in the bushes nearby in a kind of shanty dwelling.

For me if an adult wants to sleep under a bush in the rain then thats his or her business. Its a free country.
But what about the kids?
My heart goes out to them. They are cold, wet, no proper raingear.

Is there a case for taking the kids into care?

No, but there's a great case for sending them to Romania.
