Something to help with the early start.
Darkness into Light is upon us once more. This weekend, on Saturday 6th May, thousands of people around the country will wake at the crack of dawn to walk at their chosen location in aid of Pieta House, in solidarity with people impacted by suicide and self-harm.
If you’re in need of some caffeine after your early start, here are a few cafés in Dublin that are opening extra early just for the occasion.
Inhale
Location: Shankill
Opening at 6:30am for Darkness into Light, Inhale Coffee is set to donate all proceeds made up until 10am to Pieta House.
