BOHEMIANS HAVE LAUNCHED their annual Christmas Toy Drive for the benefit of children in Direct Provision.
The pledge is to donate a €30 toy to every child living in a Direct Provision centre this Christmas, and the Toy Drive has raised more than €400,000 since it launched in 2018.
The ambition, says Bohemians, is to give every child in these centres a “sense of belonging.”
This year’s target, in conjunction with Movement of Asylum Seekers in Ireland (MASI), is to raise a total of €55,000.
Bohemian FC, Bang Bang cafe and MASI will handle distribution, while DHL Express Ireland will deliver gifts directly to Direct Provision centres.
Toys can be dropped into Bang Bang cafe in Phibsboro or donations can be made online at the following link.
Good auld Brian .. says it like it is.
Noel Mooney has been pulling all kinds of PR stunts, straight out of the John Delaney self-preservation book, to try and glam up the old FAI, as certain long-term gravy-train riders try to cling onto control.
I wish Brian would stay away from media work.
@Tony Mcgrath: Most in Ireland would strongly disagree with you
@Tony Mcgrath: You’re entitled to your opinion but I’d strongly disagree with you. Brian Kerr is a hugely knowledgeable football man and has his heart firmly in the right place when it comes to the game in this country. He doesn’t engage in PR or BS and he’s one man who I could listen to all day. He’s also highly entertaining. Wish we had more like him.
Good man Brian. Shove that guys bs media stunt pandering right back down his throat haha
Think I’ll buy Neal Horgan’s book so……
Kerr talks an awful heap of waffle.
Boll*cks
@shepherd: Not as much as the fai cronies.
