Hopefully, one good deed will snowball into something far bigger.
We’ve been contacted by the Adelphi venue in Dublin, who tell us that they’re hoping to start an initiative whereby the homeless people in Apollo House will continue to be fed throughout Christmas and beyond.
Last night, we shared the story of how singer Glen Hansard was leading efforts to find a solution to Dublin’s homelessness with an act of ‘civil disobedience’ in Apollo House, an abandoned building on Tara Street.
Hansard is one of a number of well-known figures, alongside the likes of Hozier, Saoirse Ronan, director Jim Sheridan and Mattress Mick, involved in Home Sweet Home, a group that have taken over the building and adapted it for use as a homeless shelter.
Now, the Adelphi are trying to feed the people who are staying there.
This is a great gesture and hopefully something that will spread.
