Merchants Quay Ireland gives us a chance to reflect on the effects of the many services MQI provide to our society’s most vulnerable members. As the economic crisis pushed more and more people onto the margins of society in 2011, it was again clear that homelessness and addiction are still major challenges to be addressed in the Ireland of today. Yet thanks to the kind support of our funders this past year, MQI continued to welcome the growing numbers of those needing help.
