A garda checkpoint on the M7 filter for Kildare Village in County Kildare
Today’s decision to lift the additional Covid restrictions on County Kildare was only possible because of the people of Kildare – their extra effort, their sacrifices and their patience. And it worked. Numbers in Kildare now similar to rest of country. We must all stay vigilant.

Rejoice.
This afternoon.
Thanks, Kildare.
Let’s not have this happen again.
We’ll speak no more of it.

but no change in how meat plants operate .. they’d rather risk lives and livlihoods than furrow Larry Goodman’s brow.
…they used to talk about the power of the drinks lobby and the farmers lobby but the meat processor lobby is astonishing…
Yep.
Did any of those in that ‘outbreak’ actually get sick?
I cannot be certain, but I believe so. The local radio station, KFM, followed this pretty much daily, and reported numbers of people, albeit small, in Naas and Portlaoise hospitals, with a few in ICU. Obviously all they gave were numbers, but the timing would suggest a few people did get ill, but there was also definitely spread within the community of those with milder symptoms who probably were able to manage at home.
On the back of this great success Martin & Co have announced future plans for a national rain dance to ensure a good harvest for next season.
