Mayo people urged to take part in 'Shine Your Light' initiative tonight

PEOPLE throughout Mayo are being asked to take part in a national initiative to honour all the sick, those who have lost their lives, frontline staff and healthcare workers during the Covid-19 pandemic. 

At 9 p.m, ‘Shine Your Light’ invites the country to shine a light – be it a candle, a light or even Christmas lights – in your window to pay tribute to those “keeping us going through these dark times”. 

A light will be shone on public buildings, Irish embassies, and peacekeeping posts all around the world, with the images being shared with the public across all of RTÉ’s platforms.

Everyone, especially children, is invited to get involved this evening and to create their own way of shining a light from their homes.
