Dedicated Community Support Helpline

In a new initiative between the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government and Local Authorities across the country, new Covid-19 Community Response Forums have been put in place for each county and co-ordinated by the Local Authority in each case to assist vulnerable citizens.

A dedicated community support helpline is now operating to assist citizens, who may be at risk, to access non-emergency and non-medical supports and advice during the current public health emergency.

Led by the new COVID-19 Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Community Response Forum, which includes over a dozen agencies and organisations, this confidential phoneline and email service will focus primarily on ensuring that vulnerable members of the community, or those living alone can access deliveries of groceries, medicine and fuels.
