Here are National Ambulance Service 🇮🇪🚑 staff based in 'East Cork' standing together whilst keeping their distance - the collegial spirit amongst them is superb as it is throughout our service. They will continue to respond to medical emergencies 24/7 and thank the public for adhering to measures

Frontline healthcare sraff appreciate the efforts being made by everybody to #StayHomeSaveLives during the #COVID19 outbreak. And if you appreciate their efforts, you will continue to do that — #StayHome. This is a message from them and from HSE Ireland to you this weekend. RTÉ News

Perhaps anyone thinking of having a small social gathering or making that non essential journey this weekend could hold on a little longer. The curve is flattening but we aren’t there yet. All these guys would really appreciate it! irishtimes.com/news/ireland/i…

It has been an honour for me to support the tremendous NAS Cork 'family' especially during these challenging times. As ever it's a privilege to serve the people of Cork & beyond on behalf of National Ambulance Service 🇮🇪🚑

What a lovely gesture from the Óglaigh na hÉireann 'Band 1st Brigade' who played outside various wards throughout the grounds of St.Finbarrs Hospital, Cork so the patients & staff could hear some beautiful live music through their windows #HeartWarming - Thank you 🇮🇪

Thank you Marymount and all the other hospitals, nursing homes & residential settings that welcomed our staff to carry out this important work; this is a difficult time for residents & staff and NAS Cork carried out their role in a professional empathetic manner #FantasticTeam

Since I started working Cork University Hospitals 30 years ago I've met so many fantastic people, learned so much & have had incredible experiences; I would like to thank my colleagues past & present National Ambulance Service 🇮🇪🚑 & all others I've met on this journey;I leave with so many great memories, Kieran

I am deeply humbled by the messages & calls from people which are all so much appreciated; of my many great memories, this day stands out, when earlier this year the Óglaigh na hÉireann 'Band 1st Brigade' played for the patients of St.Finbarrs Hospital - the tune seems appropriate too

Thoughts are with those who can't be with their loved ones at this time & also all the great people who are working during the festive period - hopefully this time next year the only 'Bubbles' will we know of will either be in 'Glasses or Baths' #KeepStrong & #StaySafe

On This Day 175 years ago UCC - then Queen's College Cork - was founded. In 2021 we will celebrate our history, our diversity, and our shared ambition.

Thanks to all the brave frontline workers who got us through 2020 - and here’s hoping the vaccine will allow us all to return to a normal life with human contact as soon as possible. Happy New Year!
