Meet Shane

Meet Shane, our second Secret Street Tour Guide

Shane’s a Cork native who has lived in Dublin for the past 11 years. He has an intimate knowledge of the Smithfield area, having once called these streets home.

Shane discovered Secret Street Tours when reading the paper one day and noticing his friend, Derek. As he read on he thought to himself, “‘Jesus, I have a story as well if people want to hear it’.”

Since working with us, Shane has honed his storytelling skills and is excited about the opportunity to reconnect with society after spending 7 long years in the isolating world of homelessness.

Meet Kenny, our third Secret Street Tours Guide.

Kenny is a Dublin native, having lived here all his life and spending many of those years in homelessness.

Since working with us Kenny has rediscovered parts of Dublin’s inner city, having walked these streets countless times but always looking down, he now has his head held high and is looking to share his passions and reconnect with society.

As well as engaging the public and sharing his insights of homelessness, Kenny is now also giving back, working for the Dublin Simon Community.
