Asylum seekers stir up traditional feasts

PEOPLE living in part Cork city’s northside got their taste buds really rolling when they were treated to traditional dishes from all over the world.

The event was organised by the Cork-based Ethical Development Association (EDA) in conjunction with around 30 people of varying nationalities who are seeking asylum in the country.

Eight members of the EDA threw open their kitchens at the weekend to allow groups of foreign nationals from the Kinsale Road asylum-seeker centre prepare their own traditional food which was then served at a party hosted by the Blarney Street and surrounding areas community association.
