Almost three quarters of a million euro has been donated to feeding healthcare workers.

The Go Fund Me called Feed the Heroes was set up three weeks ago to ensure frontline staff had meals on a daily basis.

The organisers say they have enough resources to be able to continue the operation until the end of May.

Cian O'Flaherty is the founder - he says people's generosity has been outstanding.

"To date we're on to 34,500 meals over the three weeks.

"17,00 meals were delivered this week, and we're aiming for 20-30,000 meals a week as a steady state, maybe in the next week or two we'll be able to achieve that and keep that going.

"That's based on our experience of the response, and looking at the HSE figures for where things are difficult and where the outbreaks are."
