Michelle O'Neill praises army of volunteers making scrubs for healthcare workers

The transcript describes the Na Scrubs initiative, which started as a small effort to provide scrubs for healthcare workers during the COVID-19 crisis. It quickly grew into a nationwide network of volunteers, including men and women from various towns and villages, who contributed by cutting fabric, fundraising, and more. The initiative began when a relative working in a COVID ward mentioned a shortage of scrubs, prompting the use of social media to gather support. A local company donated fabric, and the effort rapidly expanded, reaching thousands of participants.
