Facebook post by Muslim Sisters of Eire. Text reads: "Due to the protest and the blocking of O’Connell Street, we are unfortunately unable to access the GPO tomorrow evening. We have made every effort to contact the organisers but have not been able to reach a lead contact. We have also spoken with the Gardaí, who currently do not have further information. With great sadness, we have to cancel tomorrow’s soup run, as we rely on access for our transit van and six cars. This is especially difficult given that we have been running this service outside the GPO for 11 years. We want to make it clear that we fully support the protest and understand the importance of standing up for change. We are also deeply concerned about the rising fuel costs and the lack of timely action. We hope that by next week we will have more information or be able to coordinate access so we can continue providing this vital service. Thank you for your understanding, and we stand with you. #OConnellStreet #GPO #CommunitySupport #SoupRun #HelpingTheHomeless #FeedTheCommunity #Solidarity #StandTogether #SupportEachOther #CostOfLiving #FuelCrisis #ActNow #Ireland #DublinCity"
