They will be thronged. I hate busy beaches at the best of times, people will be flocking to the beaches come the 8th! I will be glad to go for a drive again though and get away from the town etc. I'm already thinking of when we could book a night or two away after the hotels open up. Really considering a break in August/sept. Hopefully there will be some good deals around to entice people to book! edited to add that I've seen someone I know post up on facebook how the drove up the country, and to see someone and that it was worth breaking the rules. This isn't the first or second time this person has broken the restrictions and its taking the p*ss at this stage. Some people literally are so selfish. I haven't gone anywhere outside of work and shopping and these people think they are great flaunting it on facebook. Idiots!!

Radio Kerry said the Gardaí turned back 100 people yesterday (not sure if that's people or vehicles?). Very frustrating, especially with how well we have managed to contain it in Kerry.https://www.radiokerry.ie/kerry-gardai-turn-around-100-people-breach-5km-limit/?fbclid=IwAR3x5a4dK07HLTZTw423eiGVdaFlvRWI7urdshSQSt1tUmXRLzwRx0hgj84

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 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.
