He's got a pacemaker, is fitted with a stent in his heart, and his family would prefer to lock him indoors, but Ken Egan is coming out of retirement to help battle Covid-19.
Dr Egan told RTÉ's This Week programme: "It's second nature to me after all the years in practice to want to come back and help people and I would expect the same of all the GPs who are retired." "It’s not just doctors, there are whole communities that need to start gee-ing themselves up to help people. We need the Mayo football spirit applying all over the country."

"If I get the virus, I’ll get it. There’s no cure for it, I’m very supportive of the idea that eight out of ten people who will get it will do very well, and many will show only mild symptoms.
Not to diminish the offers from retired healthcare workers but surely there are lots of very qualified healthcare works in direct provision who should be allowed to help if they wish?
