Richard Chambers sits down to discuss the storm surrounding his new book “A State Of Emergency - The Story Of Ireland’s Covid Crisis”. It’s an extraordinary piece of writing from within the storm. Each and every day while covering the news for Virgin Media News in Dublin, Richard had a rare vantage point of those in charge, those on the front lines and those who suffered most through this crisis. He tells Jarlath about why he wanted to gather what he saw into one publication and what he feels could happen from here. The book is available in all good bookshops and online suppliers now.
