A local priest working towards opening a food kitchen for Carlow says his eyes have been opened to the need that is out there.
Fr John Dunphy in Graiguecullen has been working with a team of locals in the past year to put together food parcels for people who need them.
Recently they have started to hand deliver them and yesterday brought 180 food parcels to homes around the county.
Fr Dunphy says he has seen for himself that the need is real.
