Almost €5 Million Allocated To Covid Research

4.8 million euro in funding is being provided for Covid 19 research to find out why some people get the infection more easily.

It'll be funded by Science Foundation Ireland, led by Professors Kingston Mills, Luke O'Neill and Aideen Long of Trinity College.
