Sally Coman misses her dad’s cooking, his sense of humour. She misses her mum’s company and “being able to chat to her and vent my emotions”.

There have been no positive Covid-19 cases on the ward at Crumlin Children’s Hospital where Sally’s a nurse, but at the end of March she and older sister Rebecca, an agency nurse, decided to move out of the family home in Dublin’s Churchtown and into an apartment in Rathgar borrowed from a friend.
