Of course I won’t flout quarantine prohibitions by speaking at the Percy French Festival at Roscommon next week. (Though I can come to Dublin and remain chez moi.) I hope others will attend – a great line-up of speakers. See: info@percyfrench.ie

This morning/afternoon.
“Covid-19 was not the Black Death,”Mary Kenny said [on Today with Sarah McInerney on RTE Radio One] . It killed “some” who were vulnerable, but for most the symptoms were flu-like and unpleasant. And as such the government’s response should be proportionate.
“People should be sensible and take precautions, they should proceed with their lives. There are risks in life.”
Meanwhile…
A lesson in performative dumbness for attention from troll Mary Kenny on #todayrte about quarantining. Asking would she have to stay in her “little house in Donnybrook without food or water” and whether this is the “death of Éireann'”.

FFS, people still not understanding that this was as much to do with NOT OVERWHELMING HEALTH SERVICES as it was about controlling the spread.
If less people get it at once, the higher chance of them having access to life saving treatment.
Mary is the draconian one.

Someone take Mary Kenny’s temperature. I don’t think she can be well.

G’wan Mary.
Don’t mind them fearful ninnies.
FIGHT!
She’s be a good definition of “a dose” that wan
If you heard here being interviewed by Sarah McInerney she sounded deranged. “I never even considered travelling might be an issue….” etc. Only a flu-like condition and all the usual crap.
I’d say if she got it herself she’d be months recovering if she even fully recovered.
Nick Rhodes looks well at 93.
Is she still making a living spouting her old guff?
Kind of admire her, so, in a funny sort of way.
Has she no Google?
She’s wearing them.
Challenged her once about a column she wrote about bringing back the Nuns/Matrons to hospitals, to solve all the cleaning ills. Or some old guff she was spouting that week. Was surprised to get an acknowledgment and retraction of her naïve opinion by email from her. In fairness it was badly researched guff
If she didn’t print the retraction in the same paper it isn’t a retraction.
Prue
Look what you started
…sounded like she’d even beaten Charger to the gin this morning…
Btw Mary’s sister was our career guidance teacher back in the day
Every bit as fulla’ herself
And even more windier
She’d that many airs and graces she’d keep Cork Week racing for a fortnight
So…not a role-model then!
╮(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)╭
I had the thing . You should try it Mary . its only 3 months after an I’m still not back to normal. Great fun it is Ya silly plank
How are you now xx
I cannot imagine a conversation any more unbearable than Mary Kenny interviewing Kevin Myers. Not enough wind for those bags
Mála Na Gaoithe-Kenny would be a good pen-name.
Two loolas.
