Another act of incredible kindness from the Mrs Brown’s Boys star.

Brendan O’Carroll has consistently proven himself to be one of the most kind-hearted celebrities in Ireland, and his latest act of generosity will definitely fill you with Christmas spirit.

The comedian has a history of generosity and humanitarianism, he previously helped an Irish couple that were robbed on their J1 and donated $50,000 to the family of a baby who miraculously survived his pregnant mother’s death in a car crash, and O’Carroll has gained further admiration by ensuring that over 2,800 families in Dublin, Kildare and Wicklow will have their turkey and ham dinners on Christmas Day this year.

O’Carroll did the same thing last year and this is just the latest contribution that he has made to the Society of St Vincent de Paul (SVP), he has frequently made financial donations throughout the year.

Liam Casey, President of the SVP East Region said the tremendous generosity of Mrs. Brown’s Boys star means that many families who might have missed out on the traditional Christmas meal will not be disappointed.

“We have seen an increase in requests for food this year and these vouchers will make a huge difference to many families. The vouchers, signed Brendan, Jenny and all the Brown and O’Carroll families also make the vouchers themselves special.” said Liam Casey.

“The Irish public have been extremely generous to the SVP in the past through their financial donations and we are dependent on them to continue their support into the future” said Casey.

What a wonderful gesture.
