GAA stars, past and present, took to the streets on Saturday night to shine a light on the homeless crisis in Ireland…

A glimpse at the #SolidaritySleepout that took place outside the GPO in Dublin last night. A massive thank you to everyone who played their part in each of the 13 locations. Grá pic.twitter.com/qQiVLaaB8F

While the awards were handed out last night, the Outstanding Irish Sportsperson of 2017 (for many) was sleeping out to raise funds for the homeless. Con O'Callaghan joined members of our Hurling, Ladies Football and Camogie teams as part of the Gaelic Voices For Change sleepout. pic.twitter.com/4ESu70HvPe

Ronan Sweeney has consistently been the best club footballer in Kildare over the last 10 years. His pure will to win dragged Moorefield over the line today. What a man.

Eanna O Connor inter - county quality for sure. Never without a football in his hands as a young fella when we were training with Kerry. @AIB_GAA #TheToughest

If there was a transfer market in his playing days , this guy would be at the top of a lot of counties list!! One of the best man markers in the game ... Best of luck in retirement Ciaran McDonald pic.twitter.com/ontw0BC4ie

Before you went out on the field you just knew he was going to shut down his opponent. That was usually the oppositions main man. One of the greats of Tipperary football. pic.twitter.com/iZlVKnrWub
