A Cork sushi restaurant and cafe is offering discount student meals and launching a sponsored food scheme after the city’s students have been left unable to feed themselves.

University College Cork Students’ Union (UCCSU) food bank ran out of supplies this week just 50 minutes after it opened on Wednesday for the first time since 2019.
