A Dublin Simon Benefit, Whelans, Dec 22nd You’ll dip your hand into your pocket more times than you’ll remember this Christmas-but No Room At the Inn promises to be one night you won’t forget. Taking place on Dec 22 in Whelans, The Guggenheim Grotto will headline this Christmas benefit night in aid of Dublin Simon. Tadhg Cooke, The Million Dollars and a host of Irish talent also join forces for a truly worthwhile festive whip around. Show your support and spread the word. As the world becomes a smaller place, it becomes more difficult to see what’s often right in front of us. But there comes a point when we have to face up to what’s going on, literally, on our very own doorsteps. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2Firstly, though I've no doubt as to the proberty of the excercise, it would be nice to know in advance on this free event notice board, what is planned for the money raised.
Scondly, altruism is replacing taxation as the mechanism for wealth re-distribution in society at home and world-wide. Making basic rights into charitable favours is one way of putting the most disadvantaged in their place.
The rich feel good, the poor beholdent and dependent on mercy - not very conducive to long-term answers or human dignity.
"but something needs to be done now...the poor can't wait till we get everything right sometime in the future", has been said to me, not by an advocate of charity, funny enough, but by an advocate of Human Rights Law (Kathleen Kavanagh of UCG).
The perpetual stop-gap that's there now is an improvement perhaps, on days of yore. It does, however, shoulder responsibilities of the state and is financially encouraged by the state to do this. When such work becomes a profession, the public interest and social causes of homelessness can take a back seat.
Simon was once volunteer-based. What percentage of the director's salary would match, or negate the need for this fund-raising event?
