Coronavirus Ireland: Hollywood star Saoirse Ronan's heartfelt plea in support of St James's 'superhero' staff fighting killer virus

Oscar nominated star Saoirse Ronan has put out a heartfelt plea in support of the brave staff at St James’s Hospital fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Little Women actor asked the public to donate to the “superhero” medical team fighting at the frontline of the crisis.

In a video on social media, Saoirse said: “Hello everyone, this is Saoirse Ronan.

“This is just a quick message to say that we have some real life superheroes working in our hospitals at home right now, who are going above and beyond to keep us safe and to keep us healthy during the COVID-19 crisis.

“At St. James’s Hospital, the doctors, the nurses, the admin staff, the security staff, the catering staff, they’re all working tirelessly for us. And if you can show your support to them by donating to their superhero appeal then that would be much appreciated.

“You can log on to www.supportstjames.ie. I hope everyone’s okay.”
