Charity for defence forces appoints dedicated officer for Kerry and Cork

Homelessness among Defence Force veterans is a growing issue.

That’s according to Audra Larkin, who was recently appointed as the VSO (Veteran Support Officer) for the Irish Defence Forces charity, ONE.

Ms Larkin is the first female appointed as VSO in the charity's 72-year history.

She's also the dedicated officer for veterans living in Kerry and Cork, of whom there are around 30 thousand.

Audra Larkin says the number of veterans facing struggles is rising.
