We all remember where we were that fateful day in March when the then Taoiseach Leo Varadkar speaking in Washington sent back the message to Ireland that the country's schools would close the following day.
For many, this marked the start of painful uncertainty in our lives; from that moment, the country was forced to adapt. And as the country continues to grapple with the pandemic, the health and economic challenges have reshaped our daily experiences in ways both small and large.
But the unexpected disruption has also provided an opportunity to compare and contrast the lives we had prior to Covid-19 - and perhaps a rare chance to reflect on the life we anticipate or hope will emerge in the future.
