Damien Dempsey, The Coronas' Danny O'Reilly, Declan O'Rourke, Mary Black, Eleanor McEvoy, John Spillane, Paul Brady, Luka Bloom, Mick Flannery, Mundy, Panti Bliss and Mundy are among the acts set to featuring in a special online concert in aid of Irish Support Agencies in Australia during the Covid-19 pandemic. The event, Wish You Were Here, will be streaming on Facebook Live on Saturday, May 23, at 10am Irish time.

"In the days and weeks following the pandemic reaching Australia, it became clear mass job losses would occur across the country," the event description reads. "There are almost 18,000 Irish temporary visa holders in Australia, and many of these visa holders are unable to access Australian Government assistance of any kind, leaving them in financial crisis.

"Returning to Ireland is not a straightforward option for those who have lost their livelihoods as a result of the pandemic, and many will be seeking urgent support just to cover basic expenses."

Funds will be shared equally with the four Irish Support Agencies in Australia – Claddagh Association (Western Australia), Irish Australian Support Association of Queensland, Irish Australian Support and Resource Bureau (Victoria) and Irish Support Agency NSW Inc. You can donate to the event here.
