#CoronavirusSolidarity diary: Army of volunteers in Cork making face-shields for frontline staff

Junior Cert pupil Donnacha O’Halloran, front, and fellow volunteers with one of the completed face-shields after assembly at Garryduff Sports Centre, Cork. Owners of 3D printers were asked to print the headbands at home and the components are then being collected by volunteers from Southern 4x4 Response and Blood Bikes South for assembly at the sports centre, in line with physical distancing guidelines.
