Limerick hurlers' business supports over 100 people in rebuilding a home for local boy

LIMERICK HURLERS, Kyle Hayes and Darragh O’Donovan had the “absolute honour” of supporting over 100 volunteers with their Bunda Brothers food business earlier this week. 

The hurlers - captured outside their food truck - said: “We’re beyond grateful to have been trusted to play our part in something so special. Feeling truly appreciated and proud to represent Bunda Brothers on a project that means so much”.

The work was part of DIY SOS - an RTÉ reality programme that centres around volunteers and local tradespeople coming together to help retrofit a house. 

The group of volunteers - fed by Bunda Brothers - banded together and “worked tirelessly” to make a young child's home more accessible. 

Carter Purcell - who is cared for by his family in Corbally - will be featured on RTÉ once the show airs.

The production company, Indie Pics, said: "The Bunda Brothers generously provided lunch during the week, bringing their truck on site to feed the hungry hordes. Lots of other local business have contributed too."  

"Local businesses have very kindly provided meals on set for the hundreds of volunteers over the duration of the build - breakfast, lunch and dinner. That’s their contribution to the voluntary effort and it’s greatly appreciated."

On Instagram, the Bunda Brothers said: “While we weren’t on the tools, it meant a lot to play our part by keeping everyone fed and going strong throughout the long days. The atmosphere, the community spirit, the kindness… it’s something we’ll never forget.”

DIY SOS began recruiting for tradespeople in Limerick on February 26, at the Parish Hall, St. Nicholas Church. 

DIY SOS confirmed that they are working towards an Autumn transmission on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.

The team of tradespeople and volunteers was led by Baz Ashwany, who may be familiar with viewers of How to Kill your Mammy.
