He said: "We're going to be there all day, we've Glen Hansard, Frances Black, Emma Kirwan, we've a number of artists, performers and speakers like myself and Peter McVerry there on the day.
"We'll be there from 12 o'clock until six o'clock.
"We're asking the public to come out, families that are in emergency accommodation, people that are in work that are on their lunch break to come along and join us on the street."
