Concerns about people being lonely after the pandemic.

Imní faoi dhaoine a bheith ar an uaigneas i ndiaidh na paindéime.

RTÉ News and Current Affairs The Chief Medical Officer in the Department of Health is recommending that elderly people return to their old habits, catch up with their friends and family again, and leave the life that existed during the pandemic behind them.

Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ Tá an Príomhoifigeach Leighis sa Roinn Sláinte ag moladh do dhaoine aosta filleadh ar a sean-nósanna, teacht suas lena gcairde agus a ndaoine muinteartha arís, agus an saol a bhí ann i gcaitheamh na paindéime a fhágáil ina ndiaidh.

In an open letter, Professor Breda Smyth advises seniors to take up their favorite pastimes again instead of wallowing in loneliness.

I litir oscailte, comhairlíonn an tOllamh Breda Smyth do sheanóirí tabhairt faoi na caithimh aimsire is ansa leo an athuair in áit a bheith ag déanamh lionn dubh in uaigneas.

Looking back and commenting on the social restrictions that were introduced at the beginning of the pandemic, Professor Smyth was launching a new campaign with the hope of urging people to keep together again.

Ag breathnú siar agus ag trácht ar na srianta sóisialta a tugadh isteach i dtús na paindéime a bhí an tOllamh Smyth agus feachtas úr á sheoladh le súil tathant ar dhaoine comhluadar a choinneáil le chéile arís.

Three years to the day, on 29 February 2020 - a leap year - the first case of Covid-19 was confirmed in the State and a short time later people were ordered to stay at home and not have contact with other people .

Trí bliana go ham seo, ar an 29 Feabhra 2020 – bliain bhisigh – a deimhníodh an chéad chás de covid 19 sa Stát agus achar gairid ina dhiaidh sin is ea a ordaíodh do dhaoine fanacht sa bhaile agus gan cuimilt a bheith acu le daoine eile.

Preventing the spread of the disease and keeping as many people as possible out of hospitals was the most effective of the order but it also left many people lonely.

Cosc a chur ar fhorleathadh an ghalair agus an oiread daoine agus ab fhéidir a choinneáil amach ó na hospidéil ba chionsiocair leis an ordú ach d'fhág sé go leor daoine ar an uaigneas freisin.

Social restrictions were not lifted until January of last year and it seems that many old people - above all others - have lost the connection they had with other people and have become trapped by the lack of relationships.

Níor cuireadh deireadh le srianta sóisialta go dtí Eanáir na bliana seo caite agus dealraíonn sé go bhfuil neart seandaoine – thar aon dream eile – go bhfuil an dáimh a bhí acu le daoine eile caillte acu agus go bhfuil siad éirithe clóite leis an easpa caidrimh.

Speaking on RTÉ, consultant geriatrician Dr Rónán Collins pointed out that it was not just old people who were and still are like Oisín after the Féinne, and said that many young people had fallen into the depression due to the restrictions social as well.

Ag labhairt dó ar RTÉ, thug an geiriatraí comhairleach an Dr Rónán Collins le fios nach daoine aosta amháin a bhí agus atá fós mar Oisín i ndiaidh na Féinne, agus dúirt gur thit an t-anrud daoine óga i logán an lagmhisnigh de bharr na srianta sóisialta chomh maith.

Since the hare has been put to rest, said Dr Collins, it would be worth seizing the opportunity and starting a wider debate about the issue of loneliness in society.

Ó tá an giorria curtha ina shuí, arsa an Dr Collins, b'fhiú breith ar an bhfaill agus díospóireacht níos leithne faoi cheist an uaignis sa tsochaí a chur sa siúl.

He suggested fostering more relationships between the generations - young and wise - for the benefit of both dreams since age has honor and youth has nobility! RTÉ News and Current Affairs
