As the country battles through Level 5 COVID-19 restrictions, Swords Order of Malta remains on the frontline against the pandemic, offering a lifeline to the most vulnerable members of the community.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in Ireland in March 2020, Swords Order of Malta has been offering a vital service to those in need and those who are confined to their homes.
Mandy Canty, officer in charge of the Order of Malta Swords unit, explains: What we do is if people need any shopping or medical supplies brought to their house and they can t leave the house, they give us the money and we go down and do the shopping and bring it back to them, so they don t have to leave home. If they need any medication from a chemist we ll go and get it.
