WATCH: Pat Kenny spends night with Dublin's homeless

Pat Kenny took to the streets of Dublin recently to meet with some of the capital’s homeless and hear their stories.

The TV host did the project as part of a special report for Newstalk which airs today.

“The surprise you find is you’re talking to people and you wonder – why are you on the street?” Pat said, in a video produced by the station.

“I mean you’ve clearly got a lively intelligence, you’ve clearly got an appetite for life and a different turn of the cards would have delivered a different life experience to you.”

In an article published on Newstalk’s website, the former RTE host noted how many of those sleeping on the streets where well dressed and were not battling drug or alcohol problems.

“If it hadn’t been for the cardboard and the sleeping bags lying nearby, there was no indication that this doorway, or that awning was home for the night,” he wrote.

The Pat Kenny Show is on Newstalk 106-108fm weekdays from  10am-12.30pm.
