One of Ireland’s leading property developers has donated a Dublin apartment worth‚
€2.75 million to charity. The donation will be divided between two South African
charities building houses and providing education for disadvantaged people. 
Developer
Sean Dunne, who has volunteered in a house building project in South Africa, said
he made the donation after realising how far the money would go towards fighting
poverty in the country. The donation will support the Niall Mellon Township Trust
and the Mandela Rhodes Foundation.

The apartment is in one of Dublin’s most exclusive areas at Brighton Road. Mr Dunne
said he would let the Mellon Trust decide how to dispose of the property. The Trust
brings hundreds of volunteers to South Africa each year to build low cost housing
around Cape Town.
