Isolated by Pandemic, 90-Year-Old Joins Family Musical Session by Video Call

Niamh Ní Bhaoill attempted to make her 90-year-old father's time in protective self-separation slightly better by holding a traditional music session for him in her family's home in Kerry, in the west of Ireland. Tuning in via WhatsApp video call, Ní Bhaoill's father can be heard joining in a rendition of the Irish folk song Óro Sé Do Bheatha Bhaile. https://twitter.com/NiamhNiB/status/1239677120231747586 Writing on Twitter on March 16, Ní Bhaoill said it was hard being unable to visit her father, who lives several hours away. However, he took a WhatsApp video call for the first time, she said, and they all "had a little session, a glass of vino & Cashel blue." The Irish government https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/ea1c30-updated-measures-in-response-to-covid-19-coronavirus/ has encouraged "protective self-separation" for people over 75 and other vulnerable groups.
