“People in Ireland coming together to support one another against COVID-19 has been the cornerstone of the national effort to date."
"While people in Kildare, Laois and Offaly are being asked to reduce their movements and social interactions, and some businesses are being asked to curtail their services, it is important that we remember that everyone across the country has a role to play in minimising the spread of this disease in our communities.”
