A HOMELESS man has told how he and his children are living in a family hub — with blood-soaked walls, drugs and needles in the facility’s hallways.

Shocking photos reveal the sickening conditions James McEnroe, 27, is living in with his partner and three kids in Tallaght, south Dublin.

James has claimed the family’s plea for help has been ignored by Dublin City Council.

He added that bloody towels have been left in the corridor, while heroin and crack have been dumped there in the past.

James told the Irish Sun: “There have been blood-soaked rags, needles and drugs sitting by the stairs since Thursday and no one is doing anything about it.

“We have three kids that have to see this every day. It’s absolutely disgusting and so dangerous.

“Can you imagine the infections you could get from this?”

He added: “It’s a packed building full of people, including many kids who would play around the corridors where these filthy needles are left.”

It’s estimated that over a hundred homeless people are living in the Tallaght hub.

James, whose three kids are aged five, three and ten months, insists this is the reality thousands of people living in family hubs are faced with every day.

The distraught dad is desperate to move his family out to a more suitable environment and says no child should ever have to see the things his already have.

He said: “I don’t want my kids to be growing up in a place like this. There were men fighting with hammers in front of the kids recently.

“They’ve seen men cutting themselves up, you name it.”

He raged: “We are being treated like animals. We have been in a few hubs and places like that but this is by far the worst.”

Back in June, Housing Minster Eoghan Murphy described hubs as “more stable and suitable than a hotel”.

At the end of that month, over 530 families were in family hubs, with the Government saying they planned to add 400 spaces in the coming months.

A spokesperson for Dublin City Council told the Irish Sun: “Sorry, I have been at meetings all day. I will have to check into this and come back to you tomorrow.”
