'Operation Covid Nation' would see cameras installed into participants' homes.

RTE is looking for participants to take part in a show documenting the lives of households dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

'Operation Covid Nation' is a spin-off of 'Operation Transformation' and will see cameras installed into four participants' homes.

Applications are now open and participants will be paid a fee.

However, many have criticised the programme as 'tone-deaf' and say it's 'cashing-in' on the current crisis.

RTE says strict social distancing guidelines will be followed by all production team members to avoid any contact with the household members.

If you want your household to feature, you can fill out an application form here.
