Last night and today.

Almost €50,000 has been raised to buy and send food to healthcare staff via local businesses through a GoFundMe campaign called Feed The Heroes.

The fund was set up last night by Cian O’Flaherty with the initial aim of raising €250.

From earlier…

In fairness.

This morning.

Paul Doherty tweetz:

Iceland Foods at Kennedy Centre, West Belfast will be opening their store between 8-9am for the elderly starting this Tuesday.

The wider public are asked to respect this hour as it has been allocated for elderly people only. Would be great to see other stores now do the same.

Meanwhile…

Last night, Supermac’s announced via Twitter (above) that it would provide free meals to members of the emergency services.

Like a Covideo Party.

Steve Neville, on Breakingnews, reports:

Alison Spittle’s #CovideoParty has seen people come together on Twitter to watch films as an online community while following advice from health officials.

So far, the online group has watched films such as Clueless and Matilda and tonight, they plan to watch Jumanji, starring Robin Williams.

Alison told us the idea “came about through feeling cut off and sheer boredom”.

In fairness.
