The Peter McVerry Trust is looking for a multi million euro bailout.

The housing charity has been battling a financial crisis.

The Peter Mcverry Trust is one of the biggest and best known homeless charities in the country.

In recent months, it's been locked in cash flow problems and significant debts.

The Department of Housing has now confirmed to the Irish Times that it's received a request for a bailout.

An oversight group from the department and the Dublin Regional Homeless Executive is considering the request.

The exact amount hasn't been confirmed but the charity is facing creditor liabilities and a Revenue Bill running into the millions.
