It is true what they say you never know what you got until it’s gone. The last few weeks have been a very challenging time for various reasons. We miss our family, friends, Sport, Music and for many our livelihoods. The Coronavirus has put a massive dent on Ireland from a financial and social level. These truly are testing times for many. As the number of deaths and cases continues to rise on the daily, we are all left pondering is there any light at the end of the tunnel. One positive work being done is the work of the local communities throughout Ireland. One such example is that of Naomh Mearnog GAA club. Led by Mayo man Danny Harrington a group of volunteers have joined forces for the sake of the elderly and vulnerable in our community. Everything from checking in on their neighbors to going shopping is being done. These selfless acts are something which makes Ireland the great nation it is. Even in times of chaos, we can do something truly special and positive. Many elder people are terrified to leave their homes because of the potential impact of the virus. The fact that Danny and his colleagues bring them a service is hugely important, as it keeps them upbeat and healthy and also new bonds are formed between the community workers and their beneficiaries. Danny Harrington is well known for his refereeing within the club. Acts like this shows that the man has displayed amazing leadership and social skills, on and off the field. If you or anybody you know somebody who could do with this amazing service, feel free to contact Naomh Mearnog gaa via social media. These group of volunteers are here to put smiles on peoples faces and I for one applaud them. It truly is admirable. Personally it’s been almost two years since I moved up to Portmarnock. I can safely say I was in a tough place at first, but one thing that helped me was the generosity and care within this amazing community . To this day I am still overwhelmed with support and that if anything, will get us through this restrictive life we now find ourselves living. Never be afraid to offer a hand as it can make a massive difference to other people’s lives. Although covid -19 has disrupted our lives no end one thing is for sure, as soon as this all ends I’ll be spending locally and I urge you all to do the same. Like the volunteering group, we can help others. Businesses have been hit badly, in particularly the hospitality sector. Hopefully locals can find a solution to insure these places can open again as soon as is humanly possible. For now all we can do is share our love, continue to abide by government restrictions and keep ourselves fit and health. I assure you there will be a massive party when this all ends and we can say we conquered it together as one.
