Frontline workers deserve more than platitudes if they are to win the fight against Covid-19, says the letter. “They need us, the citizens of Dublin, to take effective action to dramatically slow the rate at which the Covid-19 virus is spreading. Councillor Una Power, cathaoirleach of Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council called on Dubliners to “redouble their efforts to reduce social contacts” and to “do the easy things right”. The letter was signed at the Mansion House in Dublin on Monday morning and will be disseminated to the public through local authority social media platforms and websites. The four local authorities are also running a radio and online audio campaign aimed at changing the behaviour of 15-34-year-olds in Dublin, according to Dublin City Council.
