Video: Gut wrenching footage on the homeless families that walk around inner city Dublin

It's a sad indictment of our country that this is allowed to happen.

The work done by this charity is outstanding, but they need more help.

There is a homeless epidemic in Ireland and there are no two ways about it.

Families are being evicted because of rising rents and just not having the means to pay it. Inner City Helping Homeless are a group who do just that. They spend Monday to Friday for four hours a night trying to help homeless people.

Homelessness is out there all year round, but it seems especially harsh and sad on the run up to Christmas and even worse when you consider that there are kids involved and who are roaming the streets without a roof over their heads.

We had a lump in our throat watching that video and we implore everyone to do their bit to help those less fortunate this Christmas.
