An end to isolation is Jessica's Christmas wish

With day services withdrawn for months, no visitors, and no physical contact, Jessica Keegan tells Ellie O’Byrne that the isolation of Covid-19 restrictions has been almost unbearable

Jessica Keegan  says "cerebral palsy is a physical condition but I’m able to talk and I have the same intellect as an able-bodied person, but I can’t put my ideas down on paper". 

“It’s like a dark cloud of loneliness surrounding my life.” 

That’s how Jessica Keegan, a 29-year-old woman with cerebral palsy who lives in Limerick City, describes the isolation she has suffered during Covid-19 restrictions.
