The Covid-19 story changes almost every hour, not unlike the Irish weather. For everybody, the pace of developments is breathtaking, and that includes the media.
There has never been a story like it, and we all hope there never will be again. Distinguishing what is important and what is not, from the cacophony of voices and statistics, is a constant challenge.
The media has a key role in this. From a very early age, I wanted to be a journalist. It puts you in touch with people's lives - often in a very personal way - and the issues that should matter in society.
There has never been a story like coronavirus. The news is unrelenting. This pandemic has gone deep into the fabric of Ireland and people’s lives.
