Cost of living Ireland: South Dublin foodbank relaunches as bills spike

A foodbank is starting back up in Dublin 12 as people continue to grapple with rising costs.

The D12 FoodBank first started during the pandemic to assist people struggling to feed themselves and their families. Mark O'Toole, the group's founder, said that there was high demand for the foodbank's services as people faced unemployment during lockdown.

However, the group was forced to take a hiatus when lockdown ended and activities recommenced in the community centre. However, the initiative will soon make a return amid the cost of living crisis, with organisers seeking out volunteers willing to lend a hand.
