The Mick Clifford Podcast: Angela Ruttledge on the social supermarket model coming to north Dublin

A new initiative that could herald a whole new way of life in some disadvantaged communities is being set up.

The social supermarket is a model that has been tried successfully abroad and is now being introduced in north Dublin. It has been popularised by current New York mayor Zohran Mamdani, but what exactly is a social supermarket?

Joining us on the Mick Clifford Podcast to discuss the initiative is Angela Ruttledge, head of policy at FoodCloud, one of the groups behind it.
