Meitheal is the word for an old Irish tradition of neighbours coming together to help others to harvest crops or save hay, building friendships, respect and unity in the community in challenging times. The Covid-19 crisis is bringing out a surge of meitheal, as people and businesses all around Ireland are coming together to help others in their community.
We would like to hear about those acts of kindness and meitheal in your community, whether it was something you were involved in, benefitted from, or just observed (from a social distance).
