Breda Patterson sits patiently with other residents in front of the big front window in the reception area at Amberley Nursing and Retirement Cottages near Fermoy in North Cork.Like all residents at Amberley, Breda has been cocooning since 6 March. It's a huge sacrifice.
Theatre company production managerScott Duggan first brought street cinema to his neighbours at Frankfield Villas in Cork City. In the spring sunshine, the location was idyllic: birdsong was so loud, it almost drowned out the noise of hammering as Scott quickly constructed the screen on which he planned to project the 1952 musical rom-com, Singin' In The Rain.
Breda doesn't underestimate the scale of the achievement in keeping Amberley free of coronavirus since lockdown began seven weeks ago.
