Irish Mirror journalist Saoirse McGarrigle predicts a dystopian future starting this Monday at 8am.

We would like to remind the armed forces that as a trusted news website we can be helpful in rounding up others.

      Depending on what part of the country you are in you may have to settle for the No 2 Band. They’re pretty territorial.

    She should’t be tweeting this crap FFS. Look at the carnage in the shops already.
    Even if this happens, one assumes we can go out to buy food like!

    I bet Leo’s kicking himself he called the election in Feb.
    Soldiers on streets? Brass hat heaven.

    Smart move and I think BS should do same.
    If you think panic buying was bad last night…

      are you hinting that it’s time to crack open my neighbour’s head and and feast on the goo inside ?

            Savoury pastry is great- keeps forever frozen and you make any old muck tasty by wrapping pastry around it.

            Back to the student days eh? I used to buy a potato sack size bag of brown rice in the cash ‘n carry at start of each term- one of the most nutritious dried foods you can eat.

    The defence forces don’t have enough personnel to enact a Marshall law type scenario. It’s most likely going to be a situation where movement is restricted in and out of certain areas.

      does this ‘marshall law’ mean that that we all get massive guitar amplifiers to keep the virus away?
      or do you mean the regular old boring martial law, where you get your head kicked in for going to the shops..?

          When it comes to lock downs, I think it will be more a case of marital law- what she says goes.

      There is (almost*) no one who reads BS in the panic zone.. (*except the ones who are on permanent panic stations..).. so no need to panic.. the army are on alert. It’s a sensible precaution.

        And- they might actually have to do a days work for a change. The local gyms will be empty- and not because of health concerns.

        1. Cú Chulainn

          A tad late replying.. but, steady on.. its at best only a suggestion that the army actually do a days work.. for the state that is.. only three reasons the army are called out: shovel shit, bury shit, shovel shit..
