DuringCovid19 we have watched @CMOIreland @paulreiddublin @CcoHse @tadhgdaly1 in our living rooms. It has been suggested we see
@CillianDeGascun so regularly we might call him Gazza.
But we do not see the people living in Nursing Homes

The people living in Nursing Homes have not been regularly on the tv or radio. Their appearance rare & we do not understand the impact on their lives. How have they felt watching neighbours die? How do they feel cut off from the world?

Why is it ok to discuss this crisis without the voices of those affected. They should be on our screens & radios Every Single Day
