I think I'll just leave my sons toy ambulance flashing in the window. The thoughts of leaving candles there makes me nervous. Cant believe RTE suggested this.

If they are all in their own gardens/house, then I suppose they aren't doing too much wrong?

Deaths per million is the column to look at ...this is the true barometer of how effective Governments have been in preventing the spread.No government spin master will mention this they would much prefer to direct your attention to testing and how they are according to themselves almost world class

Take a look at the countries and compare the suite of measures they have used to combat the virus ... dare I say masks, transparency on hot spot locations, effective contact tracing , border restrictions, quarantine measures for visitors spring to mind. Would also be interesting to get any information on how good their health system is

I heard it said that when those Chinese lanterns land they can start fires! Might be best to not use them as land is very dry now.

There was an incident in Germany this year where one started a fire and killed 8 great apes.

What is wrong with a family having a BBQ in their own back garden ? The same family that sat at a table yesterday having dinner ?

Sorry. Rte had a thing on the website and Chinese latterns are on it so apologies but I am no idiot. They look amazing and will tonight wfen released

In case you hadn't heard it, they were the most likely cause of that fire in the German zoo at the beginning of the year which killed 30 animals.

https://www.rte.ie/news/world/2020/0102/1103989-german-zoo-fire/

Police have said the fire at a German zoo in which dozens of animals were killed – including eight great apes – was caused by a Chinese lantern launched by a mother and her two adult daughters as part of a New Year's Eve celebration.

Police in Krefeld, near the Dutch border, said the three women had turned themselves in on learning of the disaster, in which five orangutans, two gorillas and a chimpanzee were killed, alongside bats and birds.

The women had bought five lanterns, banned locally and in most of Germany for over a decade, on the internet, believing that they were allowed on New Year's Eve, chief investigator Gerd Hoppmann said.

"I've seen very many human corpses," Mr Hoppmann said. "And I was struck by how like humans the bodies of the great apes looked when transformed by the fire."

The women had inscribed the lanterns, papier mache balloons lifted by the heat of the flame inside, with good wishes for the new year.

Four had been found in the vicinity, while the fifth had been consumed in the zoo blaze.

"They launched the lanterns with good wishes and had no idea what could happen," Mr Hoppmann said of the women, who could face charges of causing fire by negligence, punishable by up to five years' imprisonment or a fine.

"It was courageous of them to turn themselves in: that deserves respect," he added, saying he would give no further details about the women, since they had received threats.

The zoo was festooned with candles and photos of the dead apes today, with locals telling television stations how affected they had been by the deaths of the animals, wh oincluded Massa, a 48-year-old male gorilla.

"The pain is unbelievable," Wolfgang Dressen, director of the zoo, told public broadcaster WDR.

Department store chain Real said that it would stop selling the lanterns, which are still permitted in the northern, coastal region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Besides the point that you have some incorrect data, not all are comparable as they, like the UK, only count hospital deaths along with other creative accounting.

Same. Just been for a walk in my part of West Dublin and it's pretty quiet apart from the odd few walkers and joggers. Can definitely smell a few BBQs but as long as it's just the family that's ok. Saw two guards on bikes going around the place.
