HAKKAN ISIK had been thinking about volunteering to help the homeless for a while, but wasn’t sure what to do.
He happened to be walking down O’Connell Street one evening and stopped to talk to someone from Newry Helping the Homeless, who hand out soup and other hot food outside the GPO each Friday.
“I wanted to do something that was missing, that they didn’t have already, so I said I wanted to cut hair. They were very happy with that, so we started,” said the Clontarf-based barber.
Now Hakkan has a team of eight who cut hair for free each Friday evening. “We have to give something back to society, you know,” Hakkan told us, when we stopped by to watch him work earlier this month.

Money can’t buy you happiness,but you never see a sad person on a jetski!
Unless they crash it
But can buy you a lot of things that’ll make you happy :-)
Its true. Money cant buy you happiness. But I’ll cry in my range rover.
It won’t buy you happiness but it’s far more comfortable crying in a Mercedes
Ah brilliant , wishing the winner/s all the very best.
Hoping it’s someone from north inner city, rag to riches story would be great, well done to whoever it was
Bloody dubs stealing our women and lotto winnings
It might have been a rouge Culchie that slipped through the border control at Newlands cross ;)
Don’t forget the Sam Maguire.
@Robot, Could have been one of those boggers up here stealing our women, jobs, and Copper Face Jacks!
Lucky person wins Lotto, majority wish them well and rightly so. People climb the ladder in work or business and people begrudge them. Only in Ireland.
@Thomas McGilly:
In fairness Thomas it depends on what they do in work or business to climb that ladder. Most people don’t object to someone working hard.
Photo is the wrong spar.
