10,000 Hand-drawn Stick Men To Be Unveiled At The Dáil By Ennis Students

A project containing 10,000 hand-drawn stick men is set to be unveiled by a group of Ennis students, who are bringing a petition to the Dáil.

The students from Ennis Community College and Gaelcholaiste an Chlair are undertaking a project as part of their CSPE studies, with the hope of shining a light on homelessness in this country.

The 10,000 figures are a visual representation of every homeless person in this country, and students are hoping to raise awareness, and funds, by staging the petition, as well as a sleepout.
