There are a few genuine down and outs, you would see them in sleeping bags in a couple of doorways late on.
Most of them are organized addicts from what I can see though. I think some of them may be living in an accommodation facility off the top of Henry Street /bottom of SCRd.
More just local addicts from the hostels. They are a pitiful sight. Saw a new lad begging yesterday, it was sad as you could see he wasn’t comfortable with it and wasn’t as gaunt as the others, will probably be fucked in 6 months.
Most of the beggars in Limerick are sound, there’s a few lads that I always sort out with a few quid or something to eat.
I caved in and bought Jeffrey a couple of cans one time and now he knows I’m a soft touch over at Tesco Roxboro or the offie in Ballinacurra, he’s a grand lad
As I stroll through Adare / A4 I realise everyone in Limerick aspires to be an “Adarino”. Forget about Monaleen/Castletroy or playing for NaP. A4 is where it is at.
