Letters to the Editor: Traumas from lockdown still linger

An inquiry into how Ireland responded to the covi-19 pandemic is due in the coming weeks.

Regarding the forthcoming covid inquiry: I lost my beautiful mom in March 2020. She was admitted to hospital with non-covid symptoms and her family were not allowed see her. She never got covid, but cancer took her from us.

We spent two months due to government lockdown not being able to see her. She died three days after diagnosis; only then were we allowed see our dying mom.
