Many people are looking forward to Electric Picnic next week. As well as the music, there will be great food on offer for a very good cause.
Derry Clarke, the chef and owner of the L'Ecrivain restaurant, is hosting a banquet at the festival to raise money for Pieta House and Temple Street Children's Hospital.
It will create a five-star dining experience in the form of a pop-up restaurant with a full kitchen, marquee and cocktail bar. There will be a set menu as well as a vintage clothing outlet next door for people to change.
Derry is one of Pieta House's ambassadors, and it's a cause that's close to his heart since he lost his son Andrew to suicide in 2012.
The organisation has helped him and his family come to terms with their loss.
"We're stronger than we think. We have an in-built system where we can try to move on, but it's difficult. Suicide is a different loss to other losses and it's always there."
"You realise the world still goes on. Memories are little triggers and it can get to you, but communication is important. The stigma is going slowly."
Derry has found it helpful talking to other parents in similar situations "because you have empathy with them and you understand what they're going through."
He also spoke about how the restaurant business has changed over the last few years: "In Dublin there are a lot more restaurants. On some streets it's end to end food-orientated. You have to innovate. Our menu is totally different to what it was two years ago."
Although he says kitchens used to be hostile environments, an idea popularised by TV chefs like Gordon Ramsay, that's not the case now. "Some nights are quiet and relaxed, and that's the way it should be."
"The catering business is one of the hardest businesses you can go into. It's anti-social - our busy time is when everyone else is off."
