This episode looks at the impact the pandemic has had on women’s lives, including mental health. We hear from a young mother who struggled to cope with being cut off from her support network as she tried to overcome post-natal depression. We also hear from a woman in her 70’s who says she never felt vulnerable until Government told her she was.

Throughout this episode we speak to women working on the frontline including Deirdre Watters Director of Communications at the Department of Health and Women’s Aid helpline manager Linda Smith.

In this final episode in the series we sit down with the Taylor and O’Neill families to hear about Billy and Susan, both of whom died from Covid earlier this year. 

We hear about the important lives they lived from the people who loved them most. They speak of how a global virus came into their homes and took away something precious and irreplaceable. Ireland’s only medical Virologist, Dr Cillian DeGascun explains where it’s all going, as we ask if Ireland, as a nation, can ever fully recover from this once in a lifetime crisis?
