Just as live sport is important to some, live music / theatre / art is important to others. That’s been lost in levels 3-5 of Covid restrictions

Keelin Shanley was one of a kind, for her warmth, curiosity, and genuine interest in everyone she encountered. Her love for her family and her commitment to journalism, for all the right reasons, was a joy to behold. She will continue to show us all how it should be done.

Yesterday the HSE's CCO said a total of 6741 parents and schoolchildren have been tested. Of those 122 were positive. That’s a positivity rate of 1.8%, lower than the 4% positivity rate in general population.

Strange and surreal - Hadn’t been in airport in a very long time, like nearly everyone else
Few sectors of the economy have been hit as hard by
#Covid19
as the aviation industry. Air transport in Ireland, which is worth about €9bn, is facing an "immense" crisis, the Irish Aviation Authority says.
