A mother whose family cannot travel home for Christmas has offered a seat at her table to someone who would otherwise be alone.
Mary Dickinson should be all set to share Christmas Day with her son Paul (30), his partner Kerrie and their son Paul Jr – as well as her daughter Sarah (28) – who all live in England, but those plans were destroyed over the weekend. Ms Dickinson first heard of the pending restrictions when Sarah texted her on Saturday and she “looked at the TV in shock”. I could not believe it. Then when the Irish Government said nobody is allowed to travel, I started to feel very down.”
Sarah added that the last minute ban on air travel has caused a wave of panic amongst the Irish community in Britain, many of whom were due to fly home this week.
“I think it has caused more harm than protecting people. People have flocked to the airports and train stations as soon as the announcement was made Saturday night,” she said. We never heard of this apparent mutation until Saturday night when the restrictions were put into place. I ve abided by every law and rule to protect others in a hope I will see my family for Christmas and I cannot describe the distraught it has brought us not being reunited.”
