What a complete meal
The meal he prepares is an Irish food popularly called 4-in-1. Apart from paying for the meal from his own pocket, he also volunteers with an NGO, A Lending Hand, which works towards the welfare of people, Irish Central reports.
Another volunteer of the NGO, Keira, said that the outfit is committed to ensuring homeless people do not go hungry.
Brian is committed
She said:
“We all cook every Monday night from our homes and make sandwiches, collect clothes, toiletries, and sleeping bags. It all comes out of our own pockets as we are not registered.
“Brian comes into town every Monday and drops his curries off to us and we serve the people of Dublin in need. He’s a good friend - we all are, we’re like a family now.”
