bats me botty.
I’d give this years to Mayo, p*ss them off even more.
Sounds like it’s going to be the summer of the mini-festival. A much more appealing prospect than the usual over-blown corporate affairs
Summer of no festivals
Sold out in seconds
OMG BT Wellies.
these staggered announcements are to deliver the news softly to the army of idiots that comprise most of our population. the realty is there will be no event’s of any kind until we have a vaccine, unless we want to do the way of the USA. I wish people would stop mourning the loss of their personal comforts and adventure and realise that scores of people are losing their lives daily.
Ah get over yourself. This nonsense has to end soon before the whole country descends into total depression. People are dying all over the country every day anyway. 730 people have died from this virus. In the 6 weeks since the first death that’s 121 people per week. Before this hysteria there was an average of 28000 deaths in Ireland every year – that’s 538 per week. If allowed to continue the lockdown will result in more long term deaths from stress, depression, alcoholism, violence than the actual virus ever caused
Dr Fart reporting for duty is it.
