Support Not Sympathy for Ireland's pubs - Mellett's Emporium, Swinford, Mayo

Ireland's pubs closed on 15th March as part of the public health response to the Covid-19 pandemic. While the rest of the country reopened, pubs have remained shut. We spoke to Marie Mellett, a publican in Swinford, Co Mayo, who talks about the importance of her pub to the local community and the need for Government to support a sector that is fearful for the future. #supportnotsympathy
