An addiction recovery group, set up voluntarily by the brother of a Two Norries podcast host, has saved lives during the pandemic and helped people in Cork turn their lives around. 

Addiction squeezed a tighter grip on many last year as services closed and people battled their demons alone, but Tommy Long kept his recovery group through Cork’s Penny Dinners open, encouraging anyone who was struggling to contact them.
