Two young sisters have helped to bring their community together through their idea to collect and distribute Easter eggs to children in hospital.

Lauren Metcalfe, 16, and her younger sister Ellamay, 7, have given about 820 Easter eggs to the Children's Health Foundation at Temple Street, Dublin, which will distribute them to patients across its hospital wards.
