No attention is paid to nutritional needs or food safety

Quite the baseless allegation there

the crowds that gather at the food stalls are thought to attract drug dealing and other unsavoury activity

Thought by whom? Weasel words and snobbery.

Moving food services indoors also meant the appropriate equipment was used and that food health and safety regulations were adhered to

How? Do they think this food was cooked up a mountain on a log fire?

the point of them is to make sure the end user is getting the most appropriate supports they can get,

Like housing, mental health services, drug rehabilitation...

and make sure we don’t have large gatherings on some of our main streets, and all the consequences that come with that.

Making you look and feel bad.

The food quality is poor. And honestly not the most sanitary. But in the words of Bertold Brecht, “build god, then we talk”.

You can see the pictures posted by the Muslim Sisters of Éire and everything looks great. Did you just make this up about it being poor and unsanitary?

I know the soup runs better. And they’re fine. But can’t say they’re healthy. Point is they’re the best option for a lot of people. That’s the government’s fault. And the solution isn’t to get rid of the people helping.
