Work might be way out of homelessness - judge
Fri, Dec 12, 2025
A Clare man with no work history was advised that if he acquired a job he might be better in a position to take himself and his family out of the homeless situation they found themselves in.
Judge John Brennan proffered his advice when dealing with a public order charge against Michael Sherlock who, he was told, resided with his wife and children in homeless accommodation in the city.
Sherlock was charged that on November 29 last at Eyre Square Gardaí noticed him acting in a suspicious manner. When spoken to he gave false details. He then ran away, and when Gardaí caught up with him he began shouting abuse at them and engaged in threatening behaviour and was arrested.
