I'm reliably told that there are more homeless on the streets of Dublin this year than in years. We're meant to getting over the recession (so we're told by the media and the government) but the reliability is very different.
The scariest thing is that people are buying more and more believing that the recession has done it's worse and it's going to turn around and bite them in the bum, as it's a long way from being over yet. 2015 will see even more homeless if the government doesn't stop telling porkies and get people to be more careful with their money.
