Castletown got an awful lot of it by all accounts, seen people tagging Wexford gaa on Twitter saying what are you going to do which is narrow minded and suits a particular agenda, there was no issues with the staging of games.

Comes down to personal responsibility, pubs getting their house in order and a general change in mentality when it comes to end of season celebrations...

Local electoral breakdowns are usually issued on Thursday so should give a clearer picture of things

wexandproud

big increase in numbers in several clusters in parts of the county and the one thing most have in common is celebrations in pubs. during the lockdown publicans were pleading to be let open and they would obey the guidelines and not be a problem. well they proved themselves wrong . Although having said that , people have also proved that there is a certain amount of thoughtless selfish clowns out there

There was an outbreak in a caravan park near Courtown last month, I wonder how that got there... Remember that Dublin people (for argument's sake) who test positive in Wexford are still counted by their home address, those figures in Kilmuckridge are caravan park employees or locals.

All the same, communities have no one to blame but themselves for outbreaks, we're all guilty of bending rules and guidelines and the sooner people, businesses and sports organisations cop on to the real risks the better. 25% of hospital admissions with Corona are under the age of 40, young people aren't invincible.

My own club won a hurling championship are there celebrations were probably as wild as those who made the headlines recently, they just got lucky.

I live near Courtown and heard nothing about that. It would surprise me as Caravan Parks were virtually empty because of schools reopening plus sh*t weather. Which park was it?

Niles

The cop on levels are severely lacking. Talk of a certain team all drinking from the cup they won... like lads, seriously.

I can think of at least one pub in the region that's taking the proverbial with 'outdoor' drinking - a completely sealed tent... how is that any different to people huddled in the main building?

There is no difference. Both demonstrate selfish personal responsibility by the attendees and disgraceful behaviour by the publican

PropJoe10

Pub in Rathangan with all-night drinking apparently and endless cases coming out of that. People can give out about the government all they like but at the end of the day, people need to take some personal responsibility. Any pub found to be serving drink to people outside of the regulations should have their licenses withdrawn permanently.

I met someone out Cleariestown way & they had said there was a GAA cluster out that way. Probably the same one or related to it at least.

Indeed. Over the summer there was a supposed 'confirmed case' in my locality, all sorts of rumours flying that they went socialising etc... turns out it was a complete fib.

That said there's no fibbing about the current figures and many people just don't seem to be taking heed.

Wexford has had 50% more cases in the last two weeks than it had in total for the six months from March to September. From being nowhere in the national figures we are now in the top 5 and all thanks to these selfish stupid bas*ards.

if the games weren’t played there wouldn’t be an issue. The GAA (same fellas that demanded NPHET explain themselves at HQ at the start of this) could have specified sanctions on clubs, officers and players in the event that in person celebrations were held, and exacted them. Instead it’s “once the final whistle blows, not our problem”?

People are saying “oh we have to keep the pubs open because we will have more domestic violence and people breaking into houses to get drink” - maybe so, but then going into a pub would be a sign of incapability to control oneself. Instead, pubs being open seems to have extended into a general assumption that life is going on as normal, which will all be fine and well until one of these people or their close contact brings their new infection into a nursing home and it lays waste.

The publicans whinged and moaned to be allowed to open, pleading that they would be good little boys and girls and abide by the rules, saying that their livelihoods were at risk. Now what, everybody's livelihood is at risk, the country's livelihood is at risk. It doesn't take an Einstein to figure out that alcohol and responsibility are not typical bedfellows and if our leaders were not so busy trying to make themselves look like somebody with half a brain while covering their ar*es from each others' sniping, they'd have realised it too.

The argument the pubs used was at 1 point we were the only country in the EU who didn't have the 'wet' pubs open, they have seriously shot themselves in the foot with those who flouted the rules.

It always pi**esn me off whan you get comparisons between Ireland and European countries as if we were peas in a pod, I have relatives in Germany and Finland and in both countries the general public are fond of their beer but they just don't seem to lose the run of themselves the way we do.
Part of the problem is authority's attitude to alcohol, how many times have you seen lawyers argue mitigation for a client because they had consumed alcohol, worse again how many times have you seen it granted. Alcohol is used as an excuse for every crime on the statute books and until we change our attitude to it we will continue to have a dysfunctional society

To give you an insight into the lad that ran the pub and the gob****es that were in the pub that night. His family and friends are all currently attacking a local girl fighting cancer who posted a video saying it was disgraceful carry on. More concerned about themselves looking bad than the mess they've caused and the lives they've put at risk in the wider community.

Despicable and this attitude is not something you are born with, it comes from your upbringing and your surroundings. Lived around that area for a while. it had more than its share of brain dead morons, particularly to do with the GAA. Unfortunately some very decent people too who were unlucky enough to have to breathe the same air.

The vast majority of them were abiding by rules but if it makes ye feel better to keep tarring one entire group of people publicans, GAA etc by the actions of a few work away.

My own club were in a county final on the same weekend, had no meal, had a few drinks in our local and have had no issues whatsoever, no cases, nothing in the community. The pub was already set up well in regards to the regulations as they were, closed on time and thats it. Follow the rules, dont pull the preverbial and ye can have a drink, dont and youre barred, it was quite simple really.

Basically put, it comes down to personal responsibility and thats it, its not the fault of one group but the fault of individual decisions, end of.

We hear that excuse all the time, particularly when it comes to our "nomadic" neighbours. Truth is, you don't know that the majority were abiding by the rules, you just know that your team and those associated with it were abiding by the rules. I've heard and seen so many instances of publicans and GAA clubs not abiding by the rules that I'm pretty sure it's not isolated.

He's known as a cowboy but that's what a large part of the people in that area like because most of them are gob****es. If you look at social media the narrative from most people from that area is that people (particularly that girl) drawing attention to the fact the pub flouted all the restrictions is the problem. Not the virus.

There's more emphasis put on and concern about how the guy running the pub and his family are upset over the publicity than about the fact they ignored every single restriction in place and caused an outbreak putting people in hospital.

Typical small parish bogger **** about closing ranks and downplaying seriously dangerous behaviour so as not to look bad and convincing themselves that this is the height of community responsibility.

to be fair you can't put a whole community under 1 umbrella, I'd say every parish has its portion of decent people and portion of gob****es, I've relations in the parish myself and know for a fact they're horrified by it all like any well minded person would be.

And the truth is that you dont know that the majority werent abiding, youre assuming on hearsay and gossip unless of course you know the inner workings of every pub and gaa club in the county/country.

Again if that floats your boat then so be it, me personally i dont judge entire groups of people on hearsay and gossip but each to their own.

Of course it was reported by Fergal Bowers the RTE Health Correspondent for example 4 days ago that there was a total of 9 outbreaks linked to sporting activity/fitness in the entire country. Not just GAA, all sporting/fitness activities, Thousands of teams, clubs, training sessions, matches etc etc but im sure Whatsapp, facebook and all probably know more. Of course in spetember there was over 1000 clusters linked to private houses which ahs risen again.

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/more-than-1-000-covid-19-clusters-linked-to-private-homes-in-september-1.4371609

Again 4 days ago it was reported that 3,252 cases were in private houses in the week, schools were actually 73 and pubs were 14 in that week!

But sure its all the pubs and the GAA cos ye know theres a video doing the rounds on whatsapp!

The fact is that none of us are perfect in this battle, the private houses numbers indicate that really this our biggest concern and that simply comes down to taking individual responsibility. You are alwyas going to get idiots but that isnt dependent on their business/profession or sporting affiliation..

And I'm not saying that GAA and the publicans are entirely to blame, just that they are not whiter than white or as hard done by as they pretend to be. In my local town there are four pubs, two owned by the same person which have regularly flouted the rules, with no distancing, no food and no 11 o'clock closing.
One other is toying with the rules and one seems to be compliant, that's 25%, far from a majority. In addition, two of the clubs which were involved in recent scandals, are within my catchment area so if mine is a typical case, and I suspect it is, then flouting of the rules is widespread.

Absolute nonsense from someone who hasn't a clue about the community. Perhaps get your facts right before talking ****e.

If the majority are outraged they're not saying it. That's on social media as well as locally. The "friends and family" are the hundreds from the area who know the guy and frequent the pub or the people who do.

The majority of people giving out are people from surrounding areas and further afield who are followers of that girls cancer story.
