Colin Farrell has spoken out about the homeless crisis in Ireland.

Ahead of the release of his new movie, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Colin aired his thoughts on the situation.

He told The Irish Times: “There are an awful lot living on the streets,” he said.

“Look, I know I have no right to talk about that. I can talk how much I love Ireland and the timbre of the people. But something has to be done about the homelessness. It’s atrocious.”

The Castleknock native added: “There is an ugly balance that says the better some people do the worse others do. That’s a cruel balance. It’s an imbalance.”

“There is an awful lot of affluence in Ireland. But there’s a lot of poverty,” he added.
