It has been another tough week for many of us, but in this time of social distancing and self-isolation, it can help to step back and remind ourselves of the myriad ways people in Ireland are still being positive.
Here are some of the positive things that are happening now that have made us smile: In Convoy, Co Donegal, Melissa Coffey is making face masks for immunosuppressed people. "A friend of mine asked me to face masks to help her patients from contracting Covid-19.
We discovered the demand for these nationwide is more than anyone person can manage themselves. So my husband and I set up a Facebook group called 'Homemade Masks for Covid-19 Ireland' and we are going to show people how to make these themselves at home," said Melissa.
