The founder of a longstanding weekly soup run for the homeless has said the voluntary operation may have to cease after environmental health inspectors issued a list of requirements if they are to stay open.
The Homeless Street Cafe has held a soup run every Tuesday for five years on Dublin's Grafton St but now faces having to close up after a recent inspection led to a letter of compliance being issued, with co-founder Denise Carroll saying meeting those requirements may not be feasible.
