Responding to COVID-19
With the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Ireland, we are facing a challenge that is unprecedented in modern history. It is also fair to say, however, that we as a people are rising to that challenge and working together as we attempt to stem the worst of this crisis.
To help you with some practicalities and to keep you informed of the evolving situation, we have compiled this information page. Geared towards Irish community and voluntary organisations, charities, and social enterprises, this page will be updated daily as developments occur.

#CommunityResponseIRL
We created the hashtag #CommunityResponseIRL to enable us to highlight and share important updates, calls to action and practical information coming from communities across the country.
We encourage all of you to start tweeting and sharing your stories of resilience and cooperation using the #CommunityResponseIRL hashtag. We will acknowledge each and every instance we are made aware of, and will help your positive news reach as wide an audience as possible.
