President Michael D Higgins says the sense of solidarity around the country is "still with us", despite over two months of Covid-19 restrictions.

In an address, he has commended people's community spirit throughout the duration of the pandemic.

He's praised groups who continue to give support to vulnerable people, and those who are cocooning.

President Higgins says they have made an enormous difference.

"The actions of thousands of people like your good selves over these past several weeks, shows that this sense of solidarity is still very strong across Ireland.

"You and all who have been working with you over the last weeks and months have answered the calls of your communities.

"You have made an enormous difference, and are continuing to provide a vital service, as we slowly emerge from the dark of the pandemic."
