A picture of an elderly woman eating her dinner off a windowsill in Dublin has gone viral.
Volunteer group The Homeless Street Cafe posted the image on Facebook saying it is heartbreaking that these are her 'golden years.'
It says the elderly woman eats her meal from a plastic bowl every week and the issue of homelessness is beyond a crisis.
It comes after a homeless man was seriously injured after his tent was removed in Dublin.
He was sleeping when it was removed from the banks of the Grand Canal during works by Waterways Ireland and Dublin City Council.
