3,000 queue for food aid in Dublin

Around 3,000 people braved the cold of Dublin’s north inner city to receive food parcels to help get them through the Christmas period.

The parcels were handed out by the Capuchin Day Centre on Bow St, where a lengthy queue had formed early yesterday morning.

The parcels contained items such as teabags, sugar, milk, bread, and cereals, as well as portions of chicken, bacon, and sausages.
