For Ann Norton simple things like going for a walk are now a struggle. The county councillor from Ennis tested positive for the coronavirus in April.
But five months on she still has issues. "I have a constant headache", she says. 'I have constant tiredness, and can't shake it.
I find that very difficult because I'd be very busy. I'd be involved in a lot of things. and now I find I want to sleep. I need to sleep.
People ring me and say Ann are you in bed? And I'd say no, no, not at all. But sure I would be." Over the last ten years she has been very active.
