A Dublin food bank has been left "in shock" after they were told by Dublin City Council to stop their operations.
The D8 Food Bank has served people living in food poverty in the Liberties since 2020. Demand for food has grown significantly in recent months and the group is helping an estimated 300 people per week.
Volunteers Fran, Margaret, Vivienne, Phyllis, Lily, Maura, Rachel, Mary, Dasha and Svitlana are now coming together five days a week, with the support of FoodCloud, due to the increased demand. They have provided their services outside near the old Coombe Hospital since February due to no longer having access to an indoor venue.
