Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit go dtí an Teach. Students from the Mercy School in Cork who were present in the Visitors Gallery have left. They were promoting intergenerational communication which prevents loneliness. Intergenerational friendship is where people try to reach out to different people and become friends.

Ireland today is very different from the Ireland of years gone by when the front door was open at all times. In the cities the doors are all shut now. I do not know if that is the case in the county.
