'We are here to help'

Following NPHET's recommendation that the government move the country to Level 5 Covid-19 restrictions as the surge in cases continues, An Garda Síochána has urged vulnerable people to get in touch with their local station if they need help with anything.

Speaking today, Deputy Commissioner, Policing and Security, John Twomey said: "Since the start of the pandemic, Garda members throughout the country have being helping the vulnerable and those who feel isolated.

"This involved simple, but important tasks such as collecting their prescription, delivering their pension, or even socially distanced contact.

"If people need such assistance or know someone who does, please contact your local garda station. We are here to help.” See Less
