Focus Ireland Sleepout Takes Place
Business leaders from all around Cork are sleeping outdoors for Focus Ireland's Sleepout
Tonight sees many of Cork's business owners, directors, and CEOs (including RedFM's own Diarmuid O'Leary) putting themselves in the same situation that Ireland's homeless face every single night.
The volunteers are bedding down at Cork City Gaol tonight to raise much needed awareness and funds for Focus Ireland.
