Ireland The Most Generous Country In The World For Third Year Running

That's based on donations made through GoFundMe.

Ireland is the most generous country in the world following donations during the coronavirus pandemic.

Ireland has come first for the third year in a row on Go Fund Me with the highest number of donations per capita.

Nearly 1.5 million donations were made in Ireland throughout 2020. 

€2 million was raised for Laois boy Dan Donoher through the Do It for Dan Campaign, while people contributed €40,000 to the fund for Athlone teenager Saoirse, who is battling cancer along with her mum Fiona Murphy, and €18,000 was donated for Paddy Kearns from Banagher who suffered serious injuries in a crash in London. 

The US has come second with the UK in third.
