Another good few in Rathangan due to the GAA Celebrations of the St. Annes too now apparently.

And people had the pitchforks out when a few D reg vehicles vehicles visited the county during the summer. Disgraceful behaviour by those responsible

Castletown got an awful lot of it by all accounts, seen people tagging Wexford gaa on Twitter saying what are you going to do which is narrow minded and suits a particular agenda, there was no issues with the staging of games.

Comes down to personal responsibility, pubs getting their house in order and a general change in mentality when it comes to end of season celebrations...

Local electoral breakdowns are usually issued on Thursday so should give a clearer picture of things

big increase in numbers in several clusters in parts of the county and the one thing most have in common is celebrations in pubs. during the lockdown publicans were pleading to be let open and they would obey the guidelines and not be a problem. well they proved themselves wrong . Although having said that , people have also proved that there is a certain amount of thoughtless selfish clowns out there

i drove past the pub regularly in the past few weeks and there was often punters outside drinking with no sign of any food being served and like some pubs near Rosslare he was known for giving spurious receipts for food just in case he was spot checked

There was an outbreak in a caravan park near Courtown last month, I wonder how that got there... Remember that Dublin people (for argument's sake) who test positive in Wexford are still counted by their home address, those figures in Kilmuckridge are caravan park employees or locals.

All the same, communities have no one to blame but themselves for outbreaks, we're all guilty of bending rules and guidelines and the sooner people, businesses and sports organisations cop on to the real risks the better. 25% of hospital admissions with Corona are under the age of 40, young people aren't invincible.

My own club won a hurling championship are there celebrations were probably as wild as those who made the headlines recently, they just got lucky.

I live near Courtown and heard nothing about that. It would surprise me as Caravan Parks were virtually empty because of schools reopening plus sh*t weather. Which park was it?

The cop on levels are severely lacking. Talk of a certain team all drinking from the cup they won... like lads, seriously.

I can think of at least one pub in the region that's taking the proverbial with 'outdoor' drinking - a completely sealed tent... how is that any different to people huddled in the main building?

There is no difference. Both demonstrate selfish personal responsibility by the attendees and disgraceful behaviour by the publican

PropJoe10

Pub in Rathangan with all-night drinking apparently and endless cases coming out of that. People can give out about the government all they like but at the end of the day, people need to take some personal responsibility. Any pub found to be serving drink to people outside of the regulations should have their licenses withdrawn permanently.

I met someone out Cleariestown way & they had said there was a GAA cluster out that way. Probably the same one or related to it at least.

Too many me feiners about.

Apparently barman in Toss Kavanaghs went to work with symptoms the weekend the Rocks won in the football

Hard to know what rumours to believe, I was told a particular wexford hurler was 1 of the players who tested positive but now I'm been told he didn't and its 2 other players

Indeed. Over the summer there was a supposed 'confirmed case' in my locality, all sorts of rumours flying that they went socialising etc... turns out it was a complete fib.

That said there's no fibbing about the current figures and many people just don't seem to be taking heed.

Wexford has had 50% more cases in the last two weeks than it had in total for the six months from March to September. From being nowhere in the national figures we are now in the top 5 and all thanks to these selfish stupid bas*ards.
My wife and I are now going to have to coccoon again.

its a shame all right when the county had done so well . very few cases in the south of county i got a bit of a shock when next door neighbour and daughter got it and they were very careful
The maddening part is , the ones acting the bollicks will blame everyone but themselves and tell us the government are doing things all wrong .
heard a rumour , dont know how true it is , that the fella running the pub in rathangan , near duncormick has been ''dismissed'' by the owner due to all the carry on in the pub

if the games weren’t played there wouldn’t be an issue. The GAA (same fellas that demanded NPHET explain themselves at HQ at the start of this) could have specified sanctions on clubs, officers and players in the event that in person celebrations were held, and exacted them. Instead it’s “once the final whistle blows, not our problem”?

People are saying “oh we have to keep the pubs open because we will have more domestic violence and people breaking into houses to get drink” - maybe so, but then going into a pub would be a sign of incapability to control oneself. Instead, pubs being open seems to have extended into a general assumption that life is going on as normal, which will all be fine and well until one of these people or their close contact brings their new infection into a nursing home and it lays waste.

The publicans whinged and moaned to be allowed to open, pleading that they would be good little boys and girls and abide by the rules, saying that their livelihoods were at risk. Now what, everybody's livelihood is at risk, the country's livelihood is at risk. It doesn't take an Einstein to figure out that alcohol and responsibility are not typical bedfellows and if our leaders were not so busy trying to make themselves look like somebody with half a brain while covering their ar*es from each others' sniping, they'd have realised it too.
