One Fermoy family has upped the game when it comes to keeping connected while safely practising social distancing.

Lisa got in touch with Dermot & Dave to give us a little insight into how her brothers, parents and grandkids are all keeping their spirits up with a nightly group video challenge that takes place within their family Whatsapp chat.

Lisa said, "Just like a lot of the country, our family is finding it very tough being apart from each other, cousins, grandparents etc.

"Our four households, myself, two brothers and our parents have started a family Whatapp video call every evening. It's working very well.

"We pick a fun challenge every day. The first challenge was to draw a picture, there are 16 of us, and it was brilliant.

"Another challenge was to create our own Paddy's Day float (1 per family) and tonight we are doing a keepy uppie challenge live.

"It is a good way to my parents to see the grandkids and we have a laugh under the circumstances."
