Kate waved to members of the public as she walked into Jigsaw, which provides vital support across a range of one-to-one, community, school and online services.<\/p>\n
At the institution\u2019s Dublin center, the couple will meet young people supported by the charity before joining a conversation with community campaigners, teachers, parents and coaches about the impact of Jigsaw\u2019s work within their respective communities.<\/p>\n
At a reception in Dublin last night, William joked about unwittingly \u201cspreading\u201d the coronavirus while meeting well-wishers during his Irish tour.<\/p>\n
William poked fun at himself after he questioned a paramedic about whether he thought coverage of the illness was \u201cbeing a little hyped up\u201d in the media.<\/p>\n
His comments came as it emerged that he and Kate are taking advice on the coronavirus threat, but will continue meeting people as usual.<\/p>\n
Later the couple will visit Savannah House in County Kildare, a residential facility run by social justice charity Extern, which supports young people with a range of issues from being homeless to dealing with drug and alcohol problems.<\/p>\n
Last year, they visited the organisation\u2019s Roscor Youth Village, in County Fermanagh, which each year provides 6,000 bed nights to young people experiencing challenges at home and in their careers.<\/p>\n
William and Kate are making their first official visit to Ireland, a three-day trip which began yesterday and will take them from Dublin to Galway.<\/p>\n
They will also visit County Meath, where they will tour Teagasc Research Farm to learn about its work promoting sustainable farming across Ireland.<\/p>\n
