Irish girl abroad misses chicken rolls so much that she has set up a fundraiser to get one

Chicken fillet roll

When chicken rolls are life.

For anyone that’s heading abroad on a summer holiday, please take comfort in the following words…everyone slightly hates you.

Granted, that hatred is only because you’re getting to enjoy a few days away from the grind – we’re certain that you’re all lovely people – but while the rest of us are stuck here, those pictures by the pool aren’t helping!

This being said, there are a few things that can slightly take away from the fun of a summer holiday because as much as we all love leaving Ireland, there’s a lot to be said for home comforts.

On this note, Megan Quinn from Patrickswell, Limerick is currently abroad and she has got a craving for a spicy chicken fillet roll.

In her own words: “I have been abroad for the last week and have not once eaten a chicken roll. I am beginning to lose sleep over the thoughts of not having had a Centra spicy chicken fillet roll for such an amount of time. The heartbreaking and overwhelming lack of them in this country saddens me and makes me yearn for the next roll I may have.

Megan adds: “I am asking you, as a community, to come together and help a young girl achieve her dream of having a cheeky chicken roll to look forward to on her flight home. I beg of you to reach into your hearts (and wallets) to find your inner kindness and compassion to make any donation you can afford. I cannot thank you enough.”

Regarding this epic quest, the target goal of €50 – presumably the majority is for postage and packaging-  is almost half way there. 

You can take the girl out of Ireland…
