Bernadette Scully nearly died by her own hand, because, as a carer, she had no right to support, writes Victoria White.

I HAVE often written about people who work at Christmas. One example was the heart-warming story of ex-TD, Jim McDaid, as a doctor on call.

This year, the media highlighted a young garda on a bicycle who will work at Christmas. After all, “crime doesn’t stop because of the season”. And this newspaper featured a gorgeous piece on the volunteers who staff the Cork Penny Dinners.
