Over 40 chippers are doing a €5 meal deal in aid of Pieta House

The chippers of Dublin are coming together to raise funds for Pieta House, after losing a much-loved member of their community to suicide.

On Wednesday, January 15, over 40 chippers will be offering a €5 special deal in a bid to raise funds for Pieta House, in memory of Enrico Marsella who passed away last August. Each participating outlet will be making personal donations towards the suicide charity and there will also be collection buckets on the counter of each store. The offer applies to meals which include fish and chips, a quarter pounder and chips or a two-piece southern fried chicken snack box and excludes deliveries. Speaking to Lovin Dublin, one of the organisers Riccardo Rea said: 'In August 2019 we lost a beautiful young man to suicide , he was genuinely loved by everyone. A great young man, son, brother and best friend to everyone. We are all devastated by our loss and we all feel the need to highlight the problem.' He added that 'Originally there were ten shops partaking but as you can see it has snowballed to 47 and more add-ins and edits to the posts each day.' An amazing cause and a monumental effort by all involved. Most of the participating outlets are located in Dublin, with a few exceptions, and you can view the full list (so far) below:
