'I am devastated': Cork arts community reacts to latest Covid shutdown 

Many artists and venues were just getting back on their feet when the new Level 3 restrictions forced another three-week closure

Aidan Dooley had a major tour planned with his Tom Crean show. 

Aidan Dooley has been quarantining in Dingle ahead of what would have been an almost sell-out tour of his show Tom Crean Antarctic Explorer. Now, he is just quarantining.

 “I am quite devastated,” he says in the wake of the introduction of Level 3 Covid restrictions. “I am bitterly disappointed because I was really looking forward to getting the Tom Crean show going again. I see his story as kind of a lighthouse for people, it's all about human resilience and the best things about humanity.”
