Man Verbally Abused In Dublin City Centre For Giving Money to Roma Beggar

About this episode

The episode discusses the public's reaction to giving money to a Roma beggar in Dublin and the broader implications of such actions.

Anthony thought he was doing the decent thing — stopped at the lights on Pearse Street and dropped 50 cent into the cup of an elderly Roma woman begging. Seconds later, an Irish passer-by roared at him: “Don’t give her any fucking money… give money to your own!” On this episode, Adrian and Jeremy ask the question: are you encouraging organised begging and scams… or are you just showing basic humanity? Plus, another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway at the end.
