    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.

    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.

    Have heard exactly where and who the pub outbreak relates to. It’s not the Irishtown actually
