I said ask what they would like...as someone who does this often, they always ask for these things as well as OJ and yogurts. Ask them the next time you see a person begging outside a shop. Unfortunately I asked a lady outside SuperValu if I could buy her anything and she said she would come in with me. Lifted a basket, steaks, chicken fillets. I asked her what was going on and she started to raise her voice, said she needs them for the kids.  I was a bit embarrassed about her raising her voice so I just paid for them but it was over €60. I am surprised she didn't ask for 20 Bensons at the end. Kin ell.  I don't trust anyone begging. I have seen lads in Galway who look like foreigners out in sleeping bags during the day and night.  One or two times I walked by I saw they using an ipad.   Must be a solar powered battery eh? I'm sure there's genuine cases but I'm suspicious of them all. Like the story of the aul one that bought a shoeless beggar on Henry Street a pair of runners and he refused them saying his bare feet bring in the money.  There's one who begs outside Donaghmede shopping centre everyday, she gets dropped and picked up by a minibus every day. I get There's some genuine homeless folk out there that as said but there's 100% folk who chance their arms. I remember some UK journalist went undercover on a busy London street. He got close to 200£ in shrapnel from people walking by. Lad said he considered quitting his job there and then

Worth the money they get those beggars! Put in the graft get the reward, fair play to them.

I never give to beggars. Seen too many that aren't genuine. Gave a few times when living in Manchester as you'd see the same people sleeping rough generally. When asking for money there is some difference between there and Dublin. Far more beggars and homeless but far more polite. The ones in Dublin can get quite abusive

I'll buy someone a sandwich but I don't give anyone cash.

Not having to live in Dublin.

No f**king way! Lad in front of me gave him a note last time I was going past, he had me fooled. 

Whenever you get a text to say that you've a missed call from someone that you don't want to speak to, so they tried to call when you had no signal. 

They forgot to charge us at our hotel last night for parking 

The new Ghostbusters movie. Objectively a disjointed, nostalgia ridden film with a slow plot.
