Taoiseach praises 'brave' ICU staff who raised €100k for charities during pandemic

Dr Patrick Seigne is the chief organiser of the ICU 4 U Charity Cycle, which takes place this weekend.

ICU staff from all over Ireland who undertook a charity cycle to Dublin amid embarrassment at being hailed as heroes all summer have been greeted by Taoiseach Micheál Martin following completion of the trek.

Dr Patrick Seigne, who is a consultant in the ICU at Cork University Hospital, said medical staff don't view themselves in heroic terms as they are simply doing what they were trained for, to the best of their ability.
