Red Bull is much more than a soft drink – it is an energy drink. It was made for moments of increased physical and mental stress and improves endurance, alertness, concentration and reaction speed. In short: it vitalizes body and mind.
» Charities «
The Irish Cancer Society, is the national charity dedicated to preventing cancer, saving lives from cancer and improving the quality of life of those living with cancer through patient care research and education.
The main work of the Society is the delivery of nursing services to patients with cancer throughout Ireland. These services include; funding hospital based Oncology Liaison Nurses, community based Night Nursing for patients in their home, and Home Care Nursing teams. Additionally the Society operates a FreeFone Cancer Helpline, staffed by fully qualified nurses. This Cancer Helpline receives almost 6,000 calls annually.
The Society, was founded in 1963, is financed entirely by voluntary contributions from the public and receives no government funding. This allows the Society to pursue new and innovative services for patients with cancer outside of government policy.
In recent years social disadvantage has expressed itself in new and more alienated forms within the inner city of Dublin. Drug use and the associated problems of HIV infection, crime, homelessness, unemployment and poverty have seriously affected the life of the city.
The Friars at Merchants Quay became conscious of the problem in 1989 and the Merchants Quay Project offering a range of services for people affected by drug use and HIV was established. In response to a large increase in the numbers of homeless people the Fáiltiú Resource Centre was opened in July 1996, to cater for the daytime needs of homeless people. This service built on the "Tea Rooms" food centre which had been providing for Dublin's poor and homeless since 1969. 
During the last number of years many asylum seekers (men, women and children) from Africa, the Middle East and Europe have come to Ireland. Many services are required to facilitate their integration into Irish Society while preserving their culture, religion and traditions.
