When official Ireland refers to women who have made real contributions to Dublin life, the heroic Alice Leahy is rarely mentioned.
Alice Leahy has worked tirelessly with the homeless since the early 1970s. She has also contributed to many reports and official bodies dealing with everything from crime to mental illness. Let’s honour this great woman now. Perhaps by building something practical like public wash-rooms for the homeless that are safe and monitored?
