PIC: This kind gesture in Dublin will improve your mood for the evening

Alan Loughnane

There are some good people in the world…

Every now and then you come across something that will renew your faith that there’s some wonderful people out there in the world.

This note left on a bin in Rathmines, Dublin by a woman named Fiona O’Malley deserves to be recognised…

The note reads (as best as we can make out) as follows:

“Dear friend,

I saw you taking food out of this bin yesterday. No person should have to eat out of a bin or look through rubbish for food. I’ve left €10 for you behind the till in Starbucks. Pop in and get yourself something to eat. It’s under the name Fiona O’Malley. I’ll be in there tomorrow morning doing some work between 9am and 11am if you want to meet me for a coffee. I’m the lanky blonde lady.

Take care,

Fiona.”

She didn’t have to make this kind gesture but she did anyway, fair play to her…
