'We're Sewing as Fast as We Can': UK Sailmakers Delivers Gowns to Care Homes & GP Surgeries

Barry Hayes of UK Sailmakers Ireland reports that gowns (pictured above) made at his Crosshaven sail loft are destined for care homes and GP surgeries across the country in the fight against COVID-19. 'Our not-for-Profit makeshift gown making endeavour has also just secured a contract with the HSE to supply our healthcare heroes', he said on social media. 'We‘re sewing as fast as we can to keep these frontline services supplied!' Hayes adds. As reported previously, the Cork Harbour sailmaker joined the fight against Covid-19 and are deploying their resources to help make Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for local healthcare workers at the front line in the fight against this disease. 'Primarily, we are doing this to help fill the gaping hole between demand and supply of PPEs for healthcare workers', Hayes said.
