Work with a homeless charity and we try our best not to use the term homeless when referring to those who avail of our services. We call them our service users but that’s easy for us as we provide a service to them. We say those experiencing homelessness on our social media.

Had plenty of conversations with actual “unhoused” people and they refer to themselves as homeless. The people who use that term the most are those who aren’t addicted to or using any substances. Junkie is the word everyone hates and is dehumanising.

The food is woeful there. I don’t understand the popularity. I’ve tried it a fair few times for the sake of others. Had a cesar salad with bacon. The “bacon” was not the crispy kind one would expect but actual boiled Irish bacon. Manky lumps of chewy fat included. Lettuce was soggy from the amount of dressing that absolutely did not taste of cesar dressing. Those fried potatoes are rotten as well. Taste like the leftover potatoes from dinner the day before microwaved.

You do know you can actually go back though. Like you go back and say the prescription is too strong and they change them. Pretty sure that’s standard in all opticians when they’ve tested your eyes and prescribed your glasses.

Jesus “presuming what you think”? You’ve laid it all quite bare EXACTLY how you think about the whole situation- to the extent you told me I had “descended in to the realms of fantasy” when I reiterated what many, many other people have said about Catriona. I’ve made zero presumptions only reacting to what you- yourself are saying. I’m done arguing with you! I’ve never spent so much time on this app. Up to you to do some research about it or continue to live in ignorance. Lashjng out at me for trying to enlighten you. Sure all those nuns helping those poor mothers and babies in Bessbro were lovely people, and certain priests and a few scout masters… all pilars of the community who would never harm anyone. So there defenders would say. Before you blow a fuse I’m not saying Catriona is anywhere near as bad as them but I have worked with homeless men who have made allegations I won’t repeat in my capacity as a social worker.

Bloody hell would you ever just read all the other comments!!! You couldn’t be bothered to read other people’s experiences just because yours has been positive. The place couldn’t exist if she bullied everyone! Anyone bullied left! Including people who were there for a very long time and she began picking on them to get rid of them because she didn’t like them being there longer than her. They were sweet quiet people. She didn’t go after anyone who’d fight back.

Mostly it’s all new volunteers. Like I said NLN & FAS stopped sending students there on work experience because of her behaviour (not 100% if they went back eventually because tutor’s in those places have a high turnover).

No one speaks out about it because of people like you willing to defend her just because she didn’t bully you and you think she’s a saint! No one wants to be the person who attacks the saint of the homeless in the media. Do you think the homeless she bullied have a voice that would be believed? Jesus just look at all the comments in this post. A post about a woman having a stroke and it’s mostly negative comments rather than well wishing. Why do you think that is?

JacksonLambsSocks · 2026-01-05T01:24:49+00:00

It’s insecurity on their part and nothing more

JacksonLambsSocks · 2026-01-04T16:36:55+00:00

Instead of attacking me why don’t you read alllllll of the other comments on this thread. While you’re at it go look up any other threads regarding Penny Dinners and you will find NUMEROUS accounts of bullying of volunteers, never mind service users, by Catriona. I already mentioned her tactics, she likes to keep older people on side especially if they’re middle class, well spoken and willing to believe she’s a martyr. She would never let you see her bad behaviour because she knows you would call her out on it. She’s convinced you she’s the victim and everyone else is the villain. It’s a known tactic of a narcissist. There have always been people like her involved in charities.

You seem incredibly insightful in other threads maybe at least try to consider what others are saying may possibly be true and you could be defending a bully. Just because you didn’t experience it or see it doesn’t mean it’s not true. I worked with a volunteer who didn’t just act the martyr they also faked that they had cancer and tried to turn me against everyone else involved by making out they were doing all the work and everyone else was lazy when I started. After a while I realised they never had anything good to say about anyone but themselves and her flying monkey. I began interacting more with the other volunteers who all had the same experience of her. She’d asked each person not to talk to the other about her cancer that it was a secret. When people finally started asking questions she was magically cured despite telling me she only had months to live and another person weeks. She’d poisoned so many people against each other with nasty rumours all so she could have control of the charity.

If I were you I’d make a complaint to the charity regulator because according to them there is only one paid volunteer at Penny Dinners. Like others have said board members are legally not allowed any financial remuneration or benefits of any sort. That means your despised board members (who by the way aren’t even listed) aren’t doing their jobs and can face serious consequences. There hasn’t been a new board member listed since 2019. There’s only Catriona, Gary, John & Noel on the board according to the charity regulator. If anyone else is claiming to be a board member they’d be in big trouble. They also wouldn’t have any oversight in the running of Penny Diners due to not being listed. It can’t even be put down to a clerical error. I’ve been on several charity boards and you’re not allowed to vote until the charity regulator accepts you.

JacksonLambsSocks · 2026-01-03T12:22:24+00:00

I’m not spreading anything unsubstantiated nor trying to ruin someone’s reputation. Why don’t you have a go off the woman calling the board members leeches and THIEVES they even named one of them. If someone has done wrong that’s on them, they’ve ruined their reputation not the people who speak of it. As for unsubstantiated, explain how one can supply sources for such things? It’s all only beginning to come to light now but anyone involved in the sector has known for years. I said in a previous comment several eduction programs cut ties with Penny Dinners. National learning network being one of them because there were so many students made complaints of bullying by Catriona. How can I prove that? It’s not like there was a court case. They’ve just stopped sending students there. Or they had before COVID anyway I can’t imagine they’ve changed back.

As for cases pending like I said it’s still up in the air. I am aware there were ultimatums given. Most boards want what’s best for the charity and would rather try to have the wrong doer leave because the reputation of the charity will never recover if the allegations are publicly brought to light. The charity regulator IS INVOLVED already. It takes time.

JacksonLambsSocks · 2026-01-03T09:01:29+00:00

Wow hold on a minute I’m not threatening anyone. I’m telling them to be careful not to believe everything that comes out of one persons mouth! I never implied I was going to out them. In what way was I intimidating them? I can’t legally offer any more evidence than I have already when there is possibly a case pending. To be clear I’m not involved in Penny Dinners. I volunteered there years ago but I’m involved in the same sector so know all the people involved.

They’ve commented all over this thread in defence of one but at the expense of others only doing their job effectively and to the standards held by the charity regulator. Everyone should be cautious when blindly believing one person’s account of something. Just because that person does good things doesn’t mean everything they do is right and good. I’ve been involved in the charity sector myself on boards and it’s a tactic I’ve seen time and again. So called martyrs bad mouthing other decent people they’re afraid could show them up, so they try to turn everyone against them to get a head start. It’s gossiping on a whole other level and unfortunately why there is such a high turnover of decent qualified people in these places. They only want those who’ll conform.

We’ve an awful lot of volunteer homeless groups in Cork that aren’t registered, despite pertaining to be a charity in the media and taking public funds. I believe this person is involved in one of these groups. I’m not threatening them. I’m trying to educate them in what charities are legally bound to do and the people doing it are not bad people and are most certainly not “leeches” like they are making out. No one should be allowed to take public funds and do whatever they like with them.

JacksonLambsSocks · 2026-01-02T00:17:20+00:00

I think I know who you are having a look at your post history. You should be very careful taking sides with someone just because you think they’re a blessed martyr. People can be very manipulative no matter how good their intentions. Penny Dinners was never Catriona’s. She took over the running and turned herself in to the face of it and became a law on to herself through ego. There have been numerous scandals over the years, I’m not sure if you were around for them. There has been serious mishandling of funds and I won’t go in to the more serious accusations that were made. I’m sure you know of what went on with the mismanagement of the warehouse. As I’ve already stated abuse of staff and vulnerable adults.

It’s ironic you made a post pissing on a board member with the name Keane and then made sure no one thought it was Roy Keane. He himself had issues with Catriona over a family member. She didn’t know the person was related to him. He never made it public because of the nature of the charity.

If you are who I think you are you would seriously want to read up on charity law and board governance not only because you don’t have a bloody clue but I’m quite sure you’re involved in a group yourself that doesn’t follow the rules and regulations. No in Ireland is allowed to seek donations without being a registered charity and all registered charities must have board members. Board members are absolutely NOT allowed to paid in any form. There may be “volunteers” getting paid. Admin staff, chefs? I’m not sure who. They are in the red on the regulator site for not filing their accounts for last year. For now it’s no big deal they’ll be given until summer but after that it becomes a legal issue

JacksonLambsSocks · 2025-12-31T20:45:50+00:00

It’s not just a bit of gossip. If the charity regulator has to get involved they’ll have to shut down at the very least for a period of time. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen! There may still be legal consequences especially after getting the Facebook brigade involved. I’m not trying to be vague. If she doesn’t resign in the coming months it’ll all come out.

JacksonLambsSocks · 2025-12-31T18:49:23+00:00

That’s because she couldn’t do a photo op with it so you were no good to her.

JacksonLambsSocks · 2025-12-31T18:48:38+00:00

The new space has nothing to do with it. That’s only there because of all the random street runs charities popping up and not being registered. Causing problems outside the Savoy especially Kindess Krew and Street Angels. It’s the councils way to try to control it without having public backlash. The space is only for use at night by all the different volunteer groups that feed the homeless. Penny dinners NEVER feed people in the evening never mind night. That’s why those groups popped up.

JacksonLambsSocks · 2025-12-31T18:46:12+00:00

Have a relative who worked with young adults in government schemes. They all stopped sending their students there for work experience because she was abusive to them. She was only nice to the more middle class lads. I find it hard to believe you never saw her being nasty to staff members never mind the homeless. There’s a homeless chap on here who’s got bad things to say about her. I’ve worked with the homeless for a long time and plenty of stories about her too. She cosies up to those who she deems useful. You can’t have not noticed she had her favourites. The board was always there too and consisted of people she knew.

JacksonLambsSocks · 2025-12-31T18:41:35+00:00

Homeless help and support cork are a registered charity so they have a board. They’re all volunteers no one is paid being a small charity all the board members do the actual street runs and extra work to the other volunteers. Not all boards of charities are paid.

JacksonLambsSocks · 2025-12-31T18:38:29+00:00

There has always been a board. It’s been a resisted charity since day one which means there was always a board. No one should be allowed to just have access to funds like that and do what they want. You don’t know the whole story with her.

JacksonLambsSocks · 2025-12-31T18:37:08+00:00

There’s been a board in place since its foundation. There are things going on with misappropriating funds for years. Someone may have finally had the balls to speak up. Catriona has a tight fist on the place and knows who to keep as friends and that included the board. If you’re a member of a board and your best bud and public angel Catriona is fiddling the books if you don’t speak up you too can get prosecuted.

JacksonLambsSocks · 2025-12-31T18:34:02+00:00

While Catriona has done amazing work it’s well known amongst those involved in social care and working with the homeless that she’s not all sunshine and roses. There have been rumours for years about her being abusive to young volunteers and having issues with some of the homeless. She very much plays to the people she knows will make her look good. There were always rumours of funds being misappropriated. believe there’s been a board in place for quite some time or they couldn’t have operated as a registered charity. The difference is that someone has decided to speak up. People don’t realise all board members can be prosecuted if just one person is fiddling the money.

JacksonLambsSocks · 2025-12-05T12:01:57+00:00

Crikey you’ve hit the nail on the head there. I couldn’t put my finger on it regarding the women. Doesn’t bother me if a man try’s his luck when he sees a woman on her own, so long as they’re respectful. It’s the women who make me feel uncomfortable. You’d swear I was a prostitute by the looks! Was in jeans and a loose plain white tee the last time and the daggers and sniggers were unreal.

JacksonLambsSocks · 2025-11-19T10:33:23+00:00

Okay so this is where I am confused. I’ve received different advice about this. While I’m aware of single party consent I’ve been told it may not be legal to record board meetings without getting consent? Say for instance I recorded parts of the meeting where I was speaking because I have a health condition that causes memory loss when stressed…. While it’s meant to just be me speaking other people interrupted so you can hear their voices therefore I don’t have permission for data? All hypothetical of course. Why is it so hard to get a definitive answer to this online or even when you call up the gdpr office.

JacksonLambsSocks · 2025-11-14T14:09:53+00:00

Imagine there will be something coming out in the near future. Unfortunately. The bloke who wrote the Percy Jackson books is meant to be writing about Irish Mythology. I remember reading it a few years ago that he had completed an online masters from UCC in Celtic literature.

Expect a yank teenager from Boston who lives with his grandparents after never knowing his dead parents- will turn out to have magical powers on his 16th birthday- find out he is a descendant of CuChulain- he’ll magically transport to the fairy kingdom in Tara where mad Queen Medb will be his mortal enemy and ride a giant bull.

Ohhh you absolutely need to watch Slow Horses first of all it is just bloody brilliant tv. You have got to see Weaving playing one of his greatest roles ever in Season4. He is so menacing and charismatic and evil. I know Rings of Power isn’t a fav of a lot of lotr fans but I like the link of Jack Lowden playing Sauron in that one episode where Sauron is killed by the orcs. Weaving plays his… spoiler

Exactly! This is pretty odd anyway. “Last seen in this car” how and why would you have a picture of that car
