Abstract
For some time Barnardo’s has been concerned with the problem of children being on the
streets in Dublin in at risk or vulnerable situations. To investigate the problem first hand two
child care workers, over a period of six weeks in October/November 1996, were asked to
spend time on the streets and to assess the situation. This document summarises their
findings and outlines the types of services Barnardo’s feels are necessary to tackle the
problem. During their investigation the child care workers established that there were two different
problems emerging - one during the day and the second at night. Information is presented
on these separately.
