As frontline staff in care homes and hospitals across the country prepare for what is to come, they will barely have five minutes to themselves, let alone prepare and cook meals at home.

Cian O'Flaherty has come up with a genius idea to keep them fed for free with a new initiative called Feed the Heroes, and he joined Mairead on the line today to tell her all about it.

Inspired by a tweet he saw of someone sending a delivery of food for hospital staff, Cian decided to set up a Go Fund Me page which the public can donate to to buy meals for our frontline staff. In just 3 days, he has raised €190,000!

The website also allows restaurants and food suppliers to register to take part. You can find all the information and the link to donate at FeedTheHeroes.com

You can hear the chat in full by pressing the play button on screen.
