D’Grand Ma: Brendan O’Carroll will provide 2,500 Christmas dinners to Dublin families

Comedian Brendan O’Carroll, the infamous genius behind Mrs Brown’s Boys, has joined forces with Saint Vincent De Paul to give over 2,500 families their Christmas dinner this year.

The comic behind the mammy of all mammies has donated vouchers to the society to distribute to the greater Dublin area, ensuring that those that need it most will get their share of turkey and ham this Christmas.

The charity commented on his generosity: “As a result many families who might have missed out on this traditional Christmas meal will not be disappointed.”

O’Carroll is no stranger to SVP and has made a “substantial donation” to the society for a number of years to provide people with Christmas dinners. It is believed that over 65,000 calls will be dealt with from families in need of support in the region this year alone, meaning resources are stretched to the maximum.

The President of the SVP East Region, Liam Casey, commended Brendan O’Carroll on his continued efforts to support the society.

“The continuous generosity of Brendan is unbelievable. It is an imaginative yet practical way to help many families in need. Our volunteers know that the families who benefit from his generosity not only appreciate his action but take extra pleasure in knowing that it comes with the compliments of Mrs Brown, an iconic and internationally famous Dublin mother.”

SVP welcomes all donations, “whether financial or in the form of goods which can either be distributed directly to those in need or sold in our Vincent shops”.

“The Irish public have been extremely generous to the SVP in the past and we are dependent on them to continue their support into the future,” said Casey.
