While lockdown may have separated them for now, one group of students in County Cork have stuck to their knitting, putting their crafty hobby to good use.

Students in Glanmire Community College, together with help from their local community, have knitted more than two dozen ‘Blankets of Hope’ for people undergoing chemotherapy.
