An experienced tailor seeking asylum in Ireland is giving free face masks to Wexford locals to keep them safe during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Aziz Mohiuddin makes around 50 to 100 masks per day when he has the proper materials, on a donated sewing machine. Mr Mohiuddin moved to Ireland two years ago seeking asylum and now lives at the recently opened Rosslare Asylum Accommodation Centre.
He said he makes the masks because "the whole world is in a very difficult condition". As the Covid-19 pandemic crisis hit Ireland he tailored the masks to hand out for free to people at the local SuperValu supermarket. "People think it is a very good job and they like it," he said.
