In September 1999, a report was published by Centrecare on street drinkers in Dublin city. This highlighted many of the needs of street drinkers and a wet hostel, which would be targeted specifically towards street drinkers was recommended, among other measures, as a means of addressing some of these needs. This feasibility study on setting up such a hostel aims to provide a detailed operational plan for such a service. Key issues of this study include the target group of the hostel, hostel facilities, rent levels, capital and ongoing costs, staff, move on options and policy within the hostel relating to alcohol consumption.
