Dublin musician starts fundraiser to get laptops for students in direct provision

A Dublin independent musician who is also the match announcer at Saint Patrick's Athletic is raising money to supply laptops for those living in direct provision.

Gary Ó Nualláin's latest single is called 'Children of Ireland' and was filmed with the help of residents in Clondalkin direct provision centre. Gary quickly discovered that laptops were badly needed by many of the people in direct provision who are trying to complete college coursework. He is auctioning off several League of Ireland jerseys and has started a GoFundMe page to try and raise much needed money for the students' education.

The highly-anticipated single is being launched in the Cobblestone on Saturday. Gary told Dublin Live that he was horrified to see the living standards of those living in direct provision and wanted to highlight it.
