In 2019, Romi Ramtohil was living on the streets and in bad health. After thirteen years in this country he saw no way out of the rut into which he had fallen. He wanted to return to his native Mauritius. But how could he get there. He had no way home, no means, no passport, not even a mobile phone. Into the breach stepped a whole array of people to help Romi, including the Alice Leahy Trust, two gardai, and various medical personnel. The result was a rare good news story, which is particularly appropriate at this time of year. Alice Leahy and Garda Damien McCarthy are this week’s guests on the podcast.
