The priest in Ramsgrange?
The PP of Horeswood is in isolation after officiating at the funeral

I believe preist in Ramsgrange is in hospital and horeswood priest is in isolation.

Been told Verona Murphy is suspected of having it now.

The Nrpew Ross and Campile area is basically alive with it

was told she was all right , didn't say it here cos wasn't sure . herself and local garda srgnt , in pub or marquee half the night .
I wonder where the traveler who was buried yesterday was from , will we get another huge spike somewhere

first line should read ''was there''

While I get people saying to be sensitive about what has gone on, there is no getting past the absolute utter irresponsible and wreckless behaviour which has lead to this situation.
If this was this time last year, and covid was brand-new disease, I would have had enormous sympathy for all involved. As in, they didn't know what they were dealing with. But there is absolutely no getting past the stupidity of what has gone on here and the absolute blatant ignorance towards public health.
These are the life and death decisions which everybody who behaves like this is taking into their hands.
It is tragic for all involved but the actions of these people have put a whole region at risk, sorry if I am not feeling any sensitivity. And talk about sensitivity to those in our health service who are cleaning up the mess.

Yesterday’s funeral was Adamstown.

With regard to sensitivity I think the main thing to be aware of is that the New Ross area is a small community and everyone knows each other, at least anyone that comes from there. So it’s important to have facts right before putting things out

The family who caused the Ramsgrange outbreak aren't travellers. What does that have to do with anything.

No one said they were. I assume it’s stating that there are other meetings going on around the county that shouldn’t be happening, that’s what I got from it anyway

Standards in retail gone to hell in recent months - no attempt in my local Dunnes to control numbers entering, no cleaning of baskets, defective/empty hand sanitisers etc. and yesterday in Dealz was served by somebody at the checkout with mask hanging off one ear. :rolleyes:

So it’s not just me who noticed! I hadn’t been to dunnes in a while but went a few days or so ago & their entry system has totally been dropped, they used to stand by the doors and wave you in, staff were constantly cleaning trolleys and baskets as you said, now it’s just free for all.

Well Lidl never did that but left sanitising wipes there, and let people clean it if they wanted. There is only so much retailers can be expected to do for people at the same time.

Aldi do the same - however dunnes seems to have stopped caring as there’s no anti viral sprays or wipes to sanitise baskets & trolleys yourself either.

I’m not expecting staff to do it for me, I’m well capable, the fact is they’re not even providing the things necessary, which is negligent.

Agree with you. I also have a packet of wipes in the shopping bags, just in case.

The man who passed away(son of the lady whose funeral occurred). What age roughly was he and did he have a family?

His mother was 94, I don’t think that’s true.

Have heard 2 more of her sons are in ICU. So one dead and 2 in ICU

I'm pretty sure that he was 75, or at very least in his 70s - it wasn't that unusual for someone aged 19 to be having children back then

We have offences of "careless driving causing death" and "dangerous driving causing death". There should be something similar for people who recklessly organise events like this in contravention of public health guidelines. So many innocent people suffer who have no direct with these gatherings.

I was sort of separating the Ramsgrange funeral cases because its miles from New Ross.

Are the press considering them all the one?

Yes Ramsgrange is in the New Ross district. The effect in town is terrible

And supposedly another outbreak linked to a pub in Irishtown as well. Just goes to show how contagious it is and also how important to abide by the regulations are.

No pubs up there serve food to my knowledge, unless Paulines does nowadays

Me and the wife were contacted and Had to go there for a test yesterday (not connected to the Ramsgrange or New Ross outbreaks). I just wanted to say the staff were brilliant and a credit to their profession explained what was going etc we were in and out within 10 minutes. Got results back this morning all ok.

Nice and quick results there, good to see.

Verona Murphy TD denies she has covid and now Willy the willman denies his pub was involved.

As I said elsewhere never believe things until they are officially denied.

Reality is only people present during the events will know the actual truth.

The recent incident is not the man's 1st BBQ as they say then.

I know someone investigating the cluster in Ransgrange who told me the pub wasn’t the issue they were focussing on at all but of course it seems people are desperate to find pubs at fault.

Also told me the area would be served better if they could lockdown the priest and the church but of course that’s a delicate thing to be looking into.

Easier just to blame the pub I suppose!
