Speaking about the donation, Mr Brabazon said: "I want to thank Ambassador He and the people of China for their very generous donation. Very few parts of the world have been left untouched by Covid-19 and it’s important that we all support each other where possible. More than 19,000 people living in Ireland identify as Chinese and many of those people live in Dublin.”
Ambassador He Xiangdong said: "We are delighted to see that both of our two countries have made significant achievements in the battle against the Covid-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, more efforts are needed to win the final victory in this battle. To further assist Dublin’s fight, the Chinese Embassy would like to donate 20,000 masks to the city of Dublin.”
Dublin City Council will now decide how best to use the masks.
