'Some stuff we receive is disgraceful': Charity asks public to stop donating soiled or dirty items
Members of the public who donate to homeless charities this Christmas are asked to refrain from handing in soiled duvets and underwear or blankets which have previously been used by dogs and are covered in hair.
Caitriona Twomey, who runs Penny Dinners charity in Cork, says that she is genuinely touched by the warmth, thoughtfulness and generosity of the vast majority of the public.
