Kate’s sister Molly and her mother Iverna Higgins If I were home for Christmas, I would spend the time mostly with family, collectively pulling together Christmas dinner and eating until we cannot move any more, then collapsing in front of the TV for some Christmas programme specials; normally Call the Midwife and then go for a walk around the neighbourhood to look at the Christmas lights and trees in the windows. I really miss them at this time of year.
The reality is that with a necessity to isolate for two weeks here and two weeks on their return, many overseas Irish people will deem it impossible to come home - especially Ireland s charity workers dotted all over the globe.
