More than 100 HAP tenants in Dublin lost their homes after poor conditions flagged
“An innocent tenant, through no fault of their own, ends up back homeless because a landlord doesn’t carry out the works,” says one councillor.
“Seeing this runner doing his thing as the country ran for cover had me thinking to ‘Keep going until something stops you’.”
The photo was taken in the Phoenix Park Dublin during our recent snowfall. I was being dropped to work in the Criminal Courts of Justice (CCJ) and seeing this runner doing his thing as the country ran for cover had me thinking to “Keep going until something stops you”.
When I was studying to get a law degree, I drove my taxi and would very often pull up outside the CCJ. Many barristers would get into my car, but one particular barrister Tony McGillicuddy, would say to me “Keep going until something stops you”. This is one of the phrases I live by and pay it forward to Transition Year and other students who visit the Criminal Courts of Justice.
