A Riverdance star who swapped a world-famous stage for the coronavirus front line said the past year has felt more like a decade.

Dr Maria Buffini, 37, from Dublin, was dancing at Radio City Music Hall when the pandemic hit last year, cutting short her time performing in the New York leg of the show’s 25th anniversary tour.
