A Westmeath woman is doing what she can for nursing home staff in need of protective equipment.
Ashling Byrne from Athlone has set up an online fundraiser, as well as a collection outside Tesco in the Golden Island Shopping Centre.
She's appealing to people to donate whatever they can, and with an initial target of €150, just under €400 has been raised so far.
