Fontaines DC band with Monaghan links raise over 12,000 euro for homeless charity

A Grammy Award nominated band with Monaghan links have raised over 12,000 euro for homelessness charity Focus Ireland.

Fontaines DC recently teamed up with League of Ireland club Bohemians to create a new jersey which features the band's logo and lyrics, as well as the Focus Ireland logo.

15% of the shirt's profits go directly to the charity.

Monaghan native Conor Curley is part of five piece Fontaines DC and Focus Ireland paid a "massive thanks" to the band and to Dublin soccer club Bohemians.

Focus Ireland says this "dream team harnessed the power of music and football to shine a light on homelessness".
