National Pyjama Day 2014

From the creator

It's Early Childhood Ireland's National Pyjama Day, where over 50,000 children will wear their favourite pjs into their preschools this morning. This is to raise funds for the Irish Hospice Foundation's 'Hospice Home Care for Children' programme, which provides outreach nurses to go into the homes of families with life limiting illness. RTÉ's Morning Edition reporter Aisling Riordan went to Mullingar to meet one family who benefits from the service. Also, Dr. Mary Devins, Ireland's first Consultant Paediatrician with a special interest in Paediatric Palliative Care, who's post is also funded by the money raised, joins RTÉ's Morning Edition presenter Anthony Murnane in studio.
