A call to #applaudthefrontline has been supported by the Irish government

The Dail has agreed to hold a round of applause for frontline workers at 8pm tonight, as they officially support the initiative.

There were uplifting scenes when the country first came together to #ApplaudTheFrontline and again to #ShineYourLight on Easter Sunday.

Now people are working to make #ApplaudTheFrontline a weekly event , in the hopes it would enhance that feeling of solidarity and show on-going appreciation for our Frontline workers.

The initiative is aimed at those that put others first, working to treat the sick, keep us safe, deliver necessities, staff our stores during this global crisis.
