Cork Penny Dinners appoints new trustees
Cork Penny Dinners has appointed new trustees as part of a major restructuring plan at an extraordinary general meeting. The charity's committee chairman described it as a new chapter for Penny Dinners which will allow it to expand its services of feeding the hungry and homeless, while retaining its voluntary structure. He says the charity has functioned very successfully over the years and currently serves over 1,000 meals a week, but he says it needs a vision. There had been rumblings of clashes of personalities on the board and following the EGM the number of trustees has now doubled with new people drafted in who will be responsible for overseeing the operation AUDIO: Celebrity solicitor Gerald Kean is one of the new trustees and he told RedFM's Neil Prendeville why he got involved in the charity.
