    Be hard to see large gatherings going ahead this year at all. With the lack of a vaccine or treatment it would be a massive risk.

    I’m wondering as the rules are relaxed will they keep the limit of 100 indoors amd 500 outdoors until such time as there is a vaccine available.

    That would mean no concerts, no GAA nothing large scale at all.

    The ploughing championship and Tullamore will be well missed if not on as its a great annual event like all other shows in the country throughout the year.

    Badly missed.
    Bit o just can’t see anyone taking on the risk of a large event and potentially causing a sudden burst of cases.

    Think of the ploughing alone, tens of thousands travel from the four corners of the country, if we had one of these non symptomatic super spreaders there it would literally spread Covid19 throughout the country. Similar to what was let happen at Cheltenham.

    I was hoping some of the August shows like Bonniconlon and Cappamore would still take place seeing as they are very much local shows but it's very hard to see that happen now given this communication
