1/3 Look Ma, I’m featured in a book!!I missed the launch of this amazing community book ‘The Upside of Lockdown’ developed by Jillian Godzilla and Marlena Murphy.
Was thrilled and proud to have our pandemic story feature in it.
today is the day we wrap up East Coast Mask Makers. What a run it’s been. 6 months and 30,000 masks later! We are indebted to so many and space is limited here. A massive thank you to our biker heroes @BravoCharlieTa1 who helped us distribute masks all over Ireland. Love’n Light
Massive congrats to members Leah & her granny Mary. At 14 yrs old, Leah was compelled to make a LOT of masks for a fundraiser in memory of a young boy and family friend, Adam Lyons who tragically died recently. They gave ALL of their proceeds from their masks to Temple Street.
We would like to say a massive thank you to @MaskEast for their generous donation of over 450 reusable cloth masks, which will be supplied to clients across our services. #ThankYou#SupportSimon
We've gone green! Over 450 masks packaged in biodegradable bags and winging their way to @Dublin_Simon today. Huge thanks to Martin from @BravoCharlieTa1 for collecting and delivering for us.
Once again a massive thank you to the makers of these masks, I cant name you all here.
Meet Dave Purnell. Dave is an active member of @BravoCharlieTa1 and delivers PPE all over Ireland on a voluntary basis. Dave used to DJ all around the world. Dave has a heart of gold. Be like Dave ;-)Massive congrats to you on the birth of your new grand daughter!!From all of us
A personal thank you from @SimonHarrisTD . As always we are much obliged to @MelanieBrayWest and of course all of the outstanding members of @MaskEast for all of your support. This was is in the North Wicklow Times today.
Met up with East Coast Mask Makers today to give out free face coverings to people in Enniskerry. An incredible community initiative. 20,000 face coverings made by this group so far!! During the worst of times, we have seen the best in people. Please wear a face covering #Covid19
Not all super heroes wear capes. And what a super hero you are. Thank you so much for your guidance and navigating us through dark waters. Go look after you and your family now. We are all behind you.
From today, I will be taking time out from all of my work commitments to be with my family.
I would like to thank everyone for their support, understanding and respect for my family’s privacy and would wish that to continue.
Continue to stay vigilant and look after each other.
Massive thanks to Jimmy from @BravoCharlieTa1 for delivering masks to a nursing home in Galway yesterday!!! Much obliged to you Jimmy. Always a smile on on your face
