What simple thing, I mentioned sitting down watching a movie, what simple thing that everybody takes for granted would you most look forward to having your own home?

Yeah.

Well, again, for everybody listening, I think we'll hope the same for you.

Thank you so much, Megan, for inviting us in.

Yeah, no, thank you.

And to Room 210, we're on.

If you're just joining us, we're...

bringing a very special edition of the show to you today.

We're in Huben House.

It's run by the Salvation Army.

It's the biggest family homeless hub in Ireland.

Over 300 people call this place home and some of them call it home for not just weeks or months, which was the plan when places like this opened, but they call it home

for years just one of the symptoms of a completely dysfunctional system we're going to talk more about places like this about the service they provide and we're going to hear from more people like Megan who are here and maybe count themselves on some level lucky to be here but they do not want to be here so we're going to hear more of that on the show a little bit later stay with us we'll be back in a moment

Yeah, one of the nine-year-old residents here in Hooban House, the largest family homeless hub in the country.

And if you're just joining us, a very special edition of LiveLine today.

We were speaking to Megan before the break, one of the residents here.

We're going to hear from more residents throughout the show between now and three o'clock.

But Anthony Byrne is with me, is the service manager and Julie Swan, the deputy manager as well.

And Anthony, before we talk about the facility here, I just thought it was interesting that a young chap who's living here, that nine year old, he mentioned something that I noticed, actually.

And it was coming up through the corridors and it was a poster that said that there's a test of that fire alarm.
