homeless radio on north earl street
2 weeks ago the homeless took to the streets with tek tools supplied by friends- they set up their own street radio, they talked on the streets, people listened, things are changing
result- after 3 of the lads, chris, eddie and barry appeared on RTE's the big bite, the lads have been offered a HOME by an elderly dublin woman
it has been emotional for people to see results from the action
its not over yet

great to see homeless people organising themselves. Fair play to all involved in Street Seen. The politicals could learn some lessons.
