Ciarán O'Driscoll

A very, very caring person.

Brought me for my assessment to Fellowship House at the time.

It was a men's residence at the time.

Probably one of the best in the country.

She brought me there for my assessment.

I knew the guy there.

He was a guard, an ex-guard.

He knew me.

He knew me from the streets.

He opened the door and he said, you were probably the last person they expected there.

And that man was very, very good to me, like very, very good to me.

And I always think, I always say, like, if you have one person in your life who believes in you, just one person who could do it, like, and that man believed in me, like he believed in me.

I met wonderful people through the Tabor system.

I met wonderful people, worked with wonderful people, like, you know, people in recovery and people who were not in recovery were very, very good at what they did as well.

fantastic at their work, they're wonderful people.

And then I went to Fellowship House for the 12 weeks.

It was a men's residence at the time.

But before that, the bed wasn't ready for a couple of months.

It was only 10 at the time.

And as you know, huge demand for beds in this country, like, you know, massive Brenda.
