Figures report no new deaths today ...

I'll be glad to be wrong, hopefully just two individuals with the same surname.

You can be sure people are breaking the 5km rule now. I know of two people who live a lot further than the beach and posted on Instagram that they were at the beach. Like why even post it up? If you are going to be so stupid, don't tell everyone about it!

We would all love to go to the beach etc, but can people not wait a bit longer? So fed up of it now. I don't know who people need to be such 'rebels'.

Weather is going to be great for the rest of the week so there won't be even the illusion of social distancing at the beaches over the next few days and people are going to be really surprised that they were not the only one's to think of a day at the beach!!

No new deaths of covid-19 recorded in the North of Ireland. Great news!

We make the full week without any cases.

So should someone ask the Healy-Raes why half the staff at their hotel weren't Garda vetted? That's pretty damned shocking, this isn't exactly a new requirement.

I see in today's Kerryman that Gene Tangney is out of the induced coma and on the road to recovery.

He was lucky to be chosen to be treated with the anti viral drug Rimdesivir and this is been credited with helping his recovery, delighted for him and his family and friends.

Many people and agencies appear to have been very economical with the truth all round.

Healy-Rae will tell you he knew nothing about what the hotel was to be used for & who had bought the lease because he was just an investor.
The present owner has the lease but the actual building belongs to a Chinese investor.
And if you believe what Healy-Rae tells you you might also believe that I'm the tooth fairy :mad:

300 would have been a 30% increase in population. Good luck to the locals getting access to local services from schools to doctor appointments. Plus they are going to be bored to tears in Caherciveen. There is nothing to do there.

Pure madness.
Shows how little some of these pen pushers know or care about a community & its needs.

It also begs the question who thought, even in the madness of the bubble era, that building a 68 bed hotel plus 36 apartments was a good idea in Caherciveen?

Originally it was some crowd from Dublin who eventually went off leaving local contractors & businesses being owed a small fortune.
There are 32 apartments but only 4 actually sold & the others aren't finished.

The run continues.

Is it a co-incidence that there hasn't been a peek out of him about anything in the national media since this story broke (I don't listen to Radio Kerry so maybe he encamped there).

What was he trying to build ?


Trouble in Clare because Danny Healy-Rae got the contract for some new water main.

Probably more appropriate to the Tralee forum but it was to convert the ground floor of the Nancy Myles pub in Ballymullen into 4 apartments.

Now that we've got as far as Day 9, you do begin to wonder if the disease has been contained locally, but given there are no local recovery details, and people will still go to UHK with suspect cases, we may never actually know.

I'm worried about the influx of holiday home owners to Kerry this weekend and the danger they pose.

I know the Gardaí will have checkpoints in place because of the great weather forecast but I'm after noticing a lot more traffic on our road from early today and there was a lot of the cars/jeeps/suv's that were not belong to locals.

Stay safe everyone.

I'm not sure testing has improved.
I know someone who wasn't feeling great & got tested just as a precaution.
Got a text to tell her she was all clear.
About ten days after being tested

No confirmed cases in UHK last night, which is a first.

Yeah its definitely more noticeable the amount of non-locals around our area in the last week.

And you had the case yesterday of a kid thankfully being rescued after drifting out to sea on an inflatable at the mouth of the Shannon Estuary - family had travelled from Limerick.

Perhaps that might jolt the Gardaí into more checkpoints which have all but disappeared.

I'm noticing the same. Gardaí should be hammering these arseholes.

Commuting Killarney - Ringaskiddy route every week day, was getting stopped 3 times every day on the way home up until the 18th - haven't been stopped since.

It was manageable for checks up until then, if they had checks with the volume of traffic on that route at the moment it would take me 2 hours each way.

Don't forget the scumbag who travelled to West Kerry from Cork a few days ago for a spot of paragliding, got tangled in overhead ESB cables and knocked out the power to a few thousand homes.

Unnecessarily wasting the resources of the emergency services in the process.

And not even one suspect case in UHK as of the last update.
