Must have been people from outside the village to blame.

Has there been any mention of who was inside ?

A shebeen operating in a middle class limerick suburb for last week. Locals aware of it but no raid and no publicity.

Did you inform the guards?

3394 new cases nationally today, no country breakdown as of yet but assuming it's at least 1/26th of that figure

What's the electoral area breakdown?
I can see up here it's in the two biggest holiday home or workers returning from the UK.
Leaving the ports open will be some mistake on this governments part

Crazy that 209 wasn't even near the top of the list today

City centre today was the quietest I've seen it on a Saturday since lockdown 1. Work notably quieter also - it was more like a quiet Sunday.
Maybe, finally, the message is sinking in .

Probably a combination of people not knowing what day it is over Christmas and everything being closed!

You have to self isolate for 2 weeks after coming in to the country so ports opened or closed doesn't make a difference

In saying that people didn't self isolate over the summer resulting in huge numbers so what were they expecting?

Numbers over the summer were consistently low. The increase in cases coincided with the schools/colleges reopening and celebrations around county GAA finals in September.

652 today. It'll be interesting to see the next country breakdown.

I think that’s released weekly on the app, I’ve noticed it updated on Thursday as of the Monday the last few weeks.. I could be way off on this buts thats when I’ve noticed the updated figures per area on the app the last few weeks..

Hopefully with these sobering numbers, the minority of people who aren't taking this seriously will change their behaviours. We got away with manageable numbers so far, and didn't get hammered. No longer the case.

Yes - you are 100% correct it is updated on Tuesdays and that data is then published on Thursdays, meaning the data will always be 2-8 days old

We know what area of Limerick the covid cases have come from but your not allowed mention the area, the law doesnt apply to some residents of the area . It could well end up been the top Covid County council area out of 166 in Ireland come the next national council chart.
It has spilled over quite a bit into the Newcastle West area as well.
There are some cases from UL in Limerick city east as well.

Just in the interest of keeping an open mind - is it worth mentioning that there's a meat production plant in Rathkeale which are also COVID hotspots?

According to the examiner the top rates of infection in the province by LEA are

1. Kenmare
2. Adare-Rathkeale
3. Carrick On Suir

Its everywhere and not just confined to one outbreak. Adare is as much to blame as anything going on in Rathkeale. Putting the blame purely on travellers is a cop out.

Apparently Limerick CoCo have to provide COVID19 infected Travellers with new caravans to isolate in. Work it out.

That's very generous. If there are a few of them in a mobile home, do they get one each?

Is this going to be like the rumours where the asylum seekers were getting money to buy cars or leaving buggies behind at bus stops because they'd get a new one later
