Sporting organisations have had a tough year, so it is heartening to see Dublin’s Bohemian FC putting their challenges to one side and bringing Christmas cheer to those who need it most. 

An initiative to bring Christmas gifts to 1,500 children in direct provision has been organised by the club, following a fundraising drive that raised €60,000. It is being held in conjunction with the Movement for Asylum Seekers in Ireland.
