Popular Dublin bar Pygmalion are scrapping entry fees for the remainder of the month and are asking their patrons to donate to the Peter McVerry Trust instead.
The South William Street venue said the waived entry fee also extends to ticketed events for the weeks ahead. Last week's publication of the November Homelessness Report showed there was a record breaking 11,542 people in emergency accommodation around the country and the bar "wants to do their part" to help.
Pygmalion launched a similar initiative back in 2020, but said the situation on the streets is "noticeably worse now". Pygmalion Group owner, Paul McGlade Jnr, said they felt it was time to bring back the idea.
