Scoil Nuachabháil pupils with the dignity packs they made up for homeless people.
SCOIL Nuachabáil pupils have shown their awareness of the homeless crisis in Ireland today by producing ‘Dignity Packs’ for local homeless people.
Dignity Packs contain an item of clothing, hygiene products such as toothbrush, soap etc., as well as other items like plasters and cotton buds as well as small food parcels containing energy bars and sweets.
“When the idea was first suggested last September, our Student Council immediately decided to lead the school effort in putting together 30 Dignity Packs,” said school principal, Mick Bolger.

“Children in the school are very aware of the problem of homelessness in Ireland. There are new statistics and appalling stories of Irish people suffering, on media platforms every day. We hope that our small contribution will make a difference to someone this Christmas,” he said.
“We approached some local businesses with a view to coming on board by donating some of the items we needed. We also decided to ask our families for a monetary contribution to purchase the items of clothing for the packs. Our Student Council sourced the items and worked out how to get the best value for money for donations received,” he added.
Mick, on behalf of the school in Ballymac, expressed gratitude to Breda Crowley in Castleisland and James Crowley in Moyderwell, Tralee for their very generous contributions, to Garvey’s Castleisland for all their help and donations and to the school community for its support.

I only wish the so-called adults in government would build some ‘Dignity Units’ in the form of ‘Social Housing units’?
There is too many private houses in Ireland and not enough social housing.
By relying on the so called private sector building more private housing, investors, first time buyers and the local county council all compete to force up prices and rise rent too.
There is also a connection with international migration. It’s basic mathematics!
Hence, why I support controlled migration and boarder. Not mass migration and open boarders.
By building social housing, we give dignity, security and a home to an entire generation. We return to a more balanced and fare society in Ireland.
Is this by accident or design!
