Statement from Dublin Simon Community"Everyone at Dublin Simon Community was devasted to learn today of the passing of our longtime friend and supporter Glen Hansard. "Our long-lasting relationship with Glen started back in 2010, when he organised the first official Christmas Eve Busk. "To put it simply, the Busk would not have become what it is today without Glen as the driving force behind it. Thanks to Glen, over two million euro has been raised and used directly to support people when they needed it most. "Glen’s focus and concern was always on the wellbeing of the individuals and clients of Dublin Simon that he met.
