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.

Thanks, Kildare.

Saturday.
Kearneystown, Celbridge, County Kildare.
The two-Michelin star Aimsir restaurant runs a takeaway service called Every Cloud, from a food truck parked in front of the restaurant’s polytunnel.
Takeaway slots for collection can be booked online, and all the food is served in compostable boxed containers and cups, so it can be eaten in the garden or brought home.
In fairness.
This morning.

What is worse is I know the owner, and he gets really upset when his way is blocked!”
FIGHT!
