‘We are with you’ – Taoiseach preaches solidarity amid Covid-19 outbreak

“We cannot stop this virus but working together we can slow it in its tracks and push it back."

Solidarity was the message as Taoiseach Leo Varadkar addressed the nation last night.

Addressing the nation under Section 112 of the Broadcasting Act, only used in times of national emergency, Mr Varadkar insisted that the country would overcome the outbreak of the coronavirus – as long as people work together.
