Joint Committee On Health
Impact of Covid-19 on Children: Discussion
Mr. John Church:
They are volunteers. Most of them work during the day and commit to one four-hour shift a week. Many do other shifts. On the age ranges, if the Senator walked into our shift today on Baggot Street or in Limerick, he would see many students, so they are young adults. They are probably doing some form of psychology programme in college. We have a number in our Dublin unit up the road who are retired. They have time on their hands and they want to give back.
