There have now been a total of 5,000 Covid-19 related deaths recorded in Ireland, according to the Department of Health. These include possible, probable and confirmed deaths of Covid-19.
Among them was 72-year-old Peter Lalor, who died in February. His family say they are still trying to come to terms with his death.
His son says that he wants him to be remembered for who he was and not just as a statistic. Peter Lalor died on 5 February 2021 at the age of 72.
The man who always had a smile, loved his grandchildren, adored his wife, was so proud of his son and was the "best father" to his daughter-in-law.
