      Increasingly in the last year soup runs feeding the homeless have come under [threats of massive – €300,000 – fines and up to 10 years imprisonment](https://www.independent.ie/regionals/wicklow/bray-news/wicklow-woman-whose-soup-run-fed-250-homeless-told-to-cease-or-face-300000-fine/a13824343.html), even when HACCP trained to ensure food safety.

      There is a renewed attack on such charitable groups lately, based on the disingenuous/concern-trolling lie that it is about ‘food safety’ – when even HACCP training has not spared such groups from being cracked down on – and the complete absence of evidence of this being a concern.

      It follows the identical practice in the US, of increasing crackdowns on support of the homeless, and increased efforts to indirectly criminalise homelessness itself (with the aim of pushing the homeless out of sight, and arguably to an early death) – which Irish authorities are incrementally matching 1:1 policy-wise, using the exact same narratives/lies to justify these policies.

      In a country with a deliberate housing crisis, with a lot of people barely able to keep their head above the water (arguably the median wage itself not being adequate for this either), where these people are being pushed towards the streets – it should be noted by everyone that authorities want these victims put out of sight, deny the ability of others to help these victims, and (arguably) wouldn’t mind if these people ceased to exist once they do end up on the street and are no longer deemed useful.

      There should be no soup kitchens outside our national monument on the main thoroughfare of our capital city.

      Interesting to note if the govt got their thumb out there hole there wouldn’t be a need for these unregulated services.

      I know a crowd that travel up to feed people and the amount of food they bring is scary and the fact it’s normally gone within a hour is even scarier

      Only Ireland would not wanting a soup kitchen on our countries most famous street be a controversial decision

      When I want a measured assessment of government policy the first place I go to is the Ditch.

      I noticed none of them actually say “homless” the term they use is “rough sleepers”

      Chase the money – they all need to be properly registered charities and regulated by revenue – chase the money
