Yes ,indeed here we are in March April and May 2020
in the middle of a pandemic C-19 that has swept across the whole world and enforced communities to stay at home to stop the spread while economies grind to a halt and millions lose their jobs while hospitals try to save lives with the millions of people affected by this terrible repiratory disease…
2020



Update .July 7th 2020  Help ! It now looks like Ireland will have  no tourists  this summer 2020 because of the pandemic Covid-19…Hope you can come visit me next year instead 2021

update Aug.20 2020..Masks are mandatory in shops and buses now.Pubs are still too dangerous meeting places to open. Schools go back next week but Covid-19 is on the rise again..approx 50 cases per day now since we relaxed the restrictions 4 weeks ago. I sincerely hope the schools don’t send us into another wave of lockdown and restrictions..We ‘ll soon see.

Dec 20 update ..Back into level 5 restrictions for Christmas and the new year as a new strain of Covid hits the country and the UK especially this Christmas week ….one ray of hope is that the vaccine has been discovered and has begun distribution to nursing homes and care workers here by the end of 2020.

Yes We are again at level 5 ,going into March 2021 because we opened up the country too much and too soon at Christmas….and all business s still closed stores,bookshops ,cafes theatre,etc etc 5 kilometer restricted distance stil in existance .People are now unable to take any more than 2 more months…but the vacine is beginning to be rolled out .We will have to wait until June at least to finally get it ….the summer events/concerts are being scheduled for July but that may be cancelled again…lets wait and see…

Corona Virus in 2021 !!!!
