Donegal gardaí urge you to lift the phone and call them
Gardaí exhibit true Christmas spirit as the festive period can be difficult for some
Garda Sean Sweeney said that it is of the utmost importance that people understand that members are happy to help those who continue to self-isolate and those who live alone. Garda Sweeney said that gardaí can help you by collecting prescriptions or buying your groceries for you if you cannot do so.
He said: "The weeks and days approaching the Christmas season can often be a lonely time for people, at the best of times, especially the elderly and for those who live alone. We ask that if there is anyone out there who may be feeling isolated and in need of a chat to give us a call."
