Doireann Garrihy’s father pens beautiful poem thanking Italy’s frontline medics

Doireann Garrihy has taken to Instagram to post the words her father, Eugene, wrote to thank frontline medics in Bergamo Hospital, Lombardy.

The radio DJ said he felt compelled to send his wishes to the people of Italy and could “get nothing done until he put pen to paper.”

The family then transformed his words into a 2-minute lyrical video, voiced by Aoibhín Garrihy.

“This is the result,” she captioned the emotional post, titled Grazie.

“Wow. This is stunning," Sile Seoige commented underneath the post while Chloe Agnew said she was “bawling [her] eyes out”

Doireann also took to the comment section of the post to ask if anyone could help the family translate it into Italian.

“We would hugely appreciate it”
