    Its not true and is in very bad taste to be spreading a rumour like that ,the person who died was in the East of the country

    Doesn't matter how many times you heard it,it's still not true.

    I never hear any rumours like that because people know if anybody says any rumour to me, straight away I respond, 'can you confirm that otherwise it could and is probably BS'. Funny seeing their heads when without saying it, you're calling them idiotic busybodies, most people with at least a couple of brain cells quit their $hit€ talk after that.

    13 associated with the south
    3 associated with the north-west
    2 cases associated with the west of Ireland

    Waterford people taking this very seriously.
    The city centre was very quiet today, looked like more staff than shoppers in most places.
    Understandable, but more important than ever to shop local now if possible.

    Busiest shop I saw was Smiths Toys, and the most popular items, Jigsaws and Board Games

    And to support those eateries that have made provision for safe space, where possible al fresco dining will be the on trend thing when the temperature picks up.

    Seems to be lots of talk/rumour of Full 2 week lockdown starting Tuesday morning. Probably needed, judging by the videos of idiots in pubs in Dublin being posted and the teenagers taking no notice of the request to act responsibly

    Also stating this could last anything up to 6-12 months

    Bad times ahead on a lot of levels for all of us

    In all fairness what could the army do anyway? Do people think if they are deployed they will be walking around with their guns looking for people roaming the streets. The rumours which spring up from social media are hilarious sometimes and this is another hilarious story albeit in a difficult time for people.
