A homeless charity has said there is growing agitation in its queues as more women and children are forced to avail of its services.
Muslim Sisters of Eire is a voluntary group that assists vulnerable people in Dublin. The group organises weekly food runs outside the GPO on O'Connell Street, with hot meals dished out to hundreds of people each Friday.
Sabina Syed is a long-time volunteer with the group. She explained that demand for the service has shot up amid the cost of living crisis as families increasingly crop up in the queues in need of food.
