We must help each other along road

Sir — One of the first gatherings of people in this country was last Sunday at the various garda barracks to pay our respects to Detective Garda Colm Horkan.

To be honest, I nearly didn’t go. My good wife convinced me otherwise. I’m so glad she did.

But I was feeling a little reluctant to join the crowds after three months. I think we’ve lost the habit of having other people in our lives — now we must get it back. We must help each other to move out of this strange lockdown.
