033: Coming Home for Christmas
•
The Echo Newspaper
#33: To travel or not to travel? That is the big question that Irish people all over the world have asked themselves as they zero in on Christmas.
Ever year there is this mass temporary remigration over the Christmas period and we see those tear-jerking scenes of families welcoming their loved ones home at the airports around the country.
But this year is different because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Host Hayden Moore talks to California-based Clondalkin native Glen Lally about not getting home for the festive season and New York resident Dee Ennis, who travelled home to Saggart to spend Christmas with her loved ones.
