Liveline | Homelessness Crisis: Carlos Wolfe speaks to Joe Duffy by RTÉ Radio 1

“I want to make something of myself. If I ever have kids of my own – and I know I’m young to say this – I never want to put them through what I’ve been through.”

Joe Duffy speaks to Lorraine Wolfe’s 15-year-old son, Carlos, about sleeping rough in the Phoenix Park and the Mater Hospital. Carlos sat his Junior Certificate last June. At the time he was living in the Sunnybank Hotel in Glasnevin.

Carlos says: “We’re just trying to live day-by-day. I just hope me and my mother get through all this… I just hope we get a hotel tonight.”
