Food banks delivering for those most in need

North Monastery Primary School second-class teacher Jill Kelly, assistant principal Maria Carroll, deputy principal Colin Daly, and principal Carl O’Brien getting ready to deliver food hampers to families of the school’s pupils. ‘You’d kind of get a feel for some of the families who could struggle from this, but I’ve never seen it as evident as this in the last couple of weeks,’ said Mr Daly.
