The locations of various pop-up soup kitchens should be reconsidered to ensure safety for those availing of food services and for neighbouring businesses, the CEO of the Cork Simon Community has said.

Speaking to Cork Business Association (CBA) members on Wednesday at an event dedicated to safety and cleanliness in the city, Dermot Kavanagh said independent pop-up food services would be better operated if taken indoors.
