True. If this sort of thing happens in your so-called “first world” country, you should feel a profound sense of shame about it. It shows that your society is failing.

With the levels of wealth and technology we have in countries like Ireland, having homelessness is a choice. We’ve chosen cruelty. We’ve said, we’re ok with it. So yes, we should definitely be feeling ashamed.

You know who is the last person who should feel ashamed? A homeless person whom we have failed as a society.
