Mother-of-one, Erica Fleming has been homeless for a year and has been living in hotels with her nine-year-old daughter.
After speaking to Erica, Sinn Fein MEP Lynn Boylan invited the mum to the European Commission to tell her story.
Standing up in front of the EU Commission, Erica delivered a devastating speech bringing attention to the homelessness crisis many people in Ireland are now experiencing.
She spoke about her life inside a hotel room after she found it impossible to get affordable accommodation.
It is reported that Erica’s honest speech shocked the EU Commission as Irish delegates refused to reveal the true state of the homelessness crisis.
A speech which shamed the Irish Government and, according to Erica, their lack of effort and interest in the homeless.
