I agree, great that the person who was begging was able to call it a day because some kind hearted people helped them out....

I dont mind giving them cash, just hardly ever have change on me so it's an unwanted interaction having to tell them sorry no cash on me

You could, if you wanted to help ask them if there was anything they needed in the shop and buy it for them. Wet wipes and toothpaste are things you could buy. Only a couple of euro, less than the price of a coffee. If you can't afford this, sorry for replying to you.

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.

Sorry dont support begging.   I've sat opposite lads on train, laughing and counting their takings, with free travel cards so obviously in receipt of a generous social welfare system. If there are addiction issues driving the need to beg, feeding it isnt going to help either, ... having witnessed genuine homeless people(not begging) ive gone home and brought them sleeping bags, jackets and bought hot food to help,    BTW I also got scammed before, a woman and child stopped me at tesco asking could i buy some groceries, i bought a bag for them with my own, as i swung around carpark i saw them jump into a fairly new top end amercan style camper,   probably valued more than my house

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.

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.
