    In my 6 years in Dublin of all the homless people, I have seen only seen a handful who IMO are genuine. TBH for me its is not hard to make a judgement call when the person had a can of cider etc in their hand, nor is it hard when you see a young lad beside an ATM (with a nice white pair of runners on him and better clothes than I have) with a blanket, shivering and it not cold. Now I know its is not fair to tar everyone with the same brush but TBH for me the judgement call is not hard to make. I see it every day up and around Aungier St / Christchurch. The problem I have is that the majority of these people can get the help needed and either dont or dont abide by the simple rules that the health boards / social welfare set down. TBH the majority of them are very selfish people who have no regard for their families / friends.

    Well what I ment about a junkie anyway is someone who's strung out...actually off their tits there and then...you know the guys, the ones with their eyes in the back of their heads, the guys who when you throw a coin into their cup the slow motion look into the cup and then followed by something in heroin language which could be "Thank you" or "Fu*k you" .... either way, that money is going towards his next hit.
