IRELAND’S FRONTLINE workers found a unique way to raise spirits across Ireland with a rousing rendition of the Jerusalema Challenge dance craze that has taken the internet by storm.
It all started earlier this week when Gardai were challenged to a virtual dance-off by Swiss police.
Irish cops were only too happy to oblige with a video that saw them breaking out some impressive dance moves to Jerusalema Challenge by Master KG.
Staff at an Irish nursing home also got in on the act in an effort to keep residents entertained and boost morale among workers.
Now the craze has gone nationwide after a group of frontline workers including Gardai, firefighters, Army personnel and paramedics teamed up for a special version broadcast at the start of The Late Late Show on RTE.
Taking to the roof of RTE studios and the court yards outside, they performed a dazzling version of the new dance craze that went down a storm with viewers watching on at home.
It was the perfect opportunity to let off steam and boost morale ahead of the final stretch of lockdown restrictions across Ireland over the next few months.
