In this final episode in the series we sit down with the Taylor and O’Neill families to hear about Billy and Susan, both of whom died from Covid earlier this year.

We hear about the important lives they lived from the people who loved them most. They speak of how a global virus came into their homes and took away something precious and irreplaceable. Ireland’s only medical Virologist, Dr Cillian DeGascun explains where it’s all going, as we ask if Ireland, as a nation, can ever fully recover from this once in a lifetime crisis?
