Coronavirus: 'Many of you are feeling scared' - full text of Varadkar speech
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar
made a special televised address to the nation on St Patrick’s Day,
speaking about the impact of the global coronavirus pandemic on Ireland
Lá Fhéile Pádraig shona daoibh!
This is a Saint Patrick’s Day like no other.
A day that none of us will ever forget.
Today’s
children will tell their own children and grandchildren about the
national holiday in 2020 that had no parades or parties, but instead saw
everyone staying at home to protect each other.
In years to come, let them say of us, when things were at their worst, we were at our best.
Our country is making big demands of our healthcare staff, big demands of every single one of us.
Tonight I want you to know why these actions are being taken and what more needs to be done.

and even Irvine Welsh is doing his bit on Twitter..
Before you chop up a line of toxic powder on a toilet cistern from a wrap of grubby paper that some mate got from a stranger and smash it up your hooter from a weeping, mass circulated twenty quid note...make sure you wash your hands for at least twenty seconds."
