This weekend, Over 400 inter county GAA Players from all codes will be sleeping rough to raise awareness about the Homeless Problem in Ireland at the moment.
Gaelic Voices For Change are holding a solidarity sleep-out in 12 towns and cities: Dublin, Galway, Cork, Limerick, New York, Boston, Belfast, Carlow, Naas, Portlaoise (Dec 15), Sligo, and Wexford with the aim of generating solidarity, funds, awareness, and action.
