Executive Librarian Kevin McCaul commented, “Healthy Ireland at your Library is a national programme being funded by the Department of Health. We are delighted to be working with Dr Mary O’Kane, the HSE and the Irish Hospice Foundation. Their combined wealth of health information will benefit us all during these difficult times as we all try to take care of both our own and our families mental health”.
