Provision 041020

A family living in Direct Provision in Cork took to the streets of the city to give out 500 free face masks yesterday, bringing to 2,000 the number of coverings they have donated to the public during the pandemic.

The Singh family, who live in the Kinsale Road accommodation centre in Cork, say that making the masks is about "giving back" to a country they arrived in from India three years ago.
