I was just talking to my brother, and he said jaysus they should just corral the younger wans in Citywest if they have a house party or are acting the maggot, and leave the rest of us ahem, more mature to enjoy life. We have sacrificed a lot says he.

I laughed out loud, but WTF, he may have a point going forward. If you have a house party, straight to Citywest for you for fourteen days. OMG.

I think we are all going a bit doo lally at the moment. And as for those young wans, well they'd want to get a grip and behave very soon. That is tongue in cheek BTW before anyone lights on me.

I think Citywest is far to good for them . Spike Island could be resurrected and they could go there

I'm sorry to be such a worry wart, but the reality is that young folk are spreading the virus around now. They are having house parties, are going back to school, college and so on. I don't want to tar them all with the same brush, I had teenagers and was one myself, but times are a bit different now.

I know they don't want to be strangled and prevented from seeing their mates/friends, but it's not a good time in Dublin anyway to be spreading this around.

I note from the stats (that I don't follow too much apart from the headline), that it IS younger people who are being infected now, and they in turn could infect many others.

It is just an awful dilemma for everyone. No one wants to be giving out and sounding superior or wagging the finger and that, but I suppose we will have to wait for the trend to emerge over the next few days and see how it goes. For the record I don't agree with another lockdown in Dublin. We will see what happens.

All the best everyone.

What a pile of crap. Who exactly will have a difficult legacy in many peoples eyes?
Ironically for one giving out about "mintal health", You are coming across more unhinged every day. At least it was a Saturday and there weren't any school kids for you to be foaming at the mouth over.

Wow, what a constructive contribution.

‘ unhinged ‘ is that a medical term ? Or do you just hang doors for a living ?

No, I think I’ve just quoted a poster in this post, who is quite adept as we can all see as regards foaming..and possibly picking up toys once they get thrown too..

The legacy of not doing what they are supposed to in order to slow the spread of covid.

My brother is a professional musician, obviously not working at the moment, but he has a D license so got a job driving a delivery truck and is loving the change of routine.

He reckons that things will slowly come back to life as he can see from his contacts in the prof music cohort, but it will take quite a while. I admire him so much for just getting on with things, as have so many others. The moaners can feck right off now.

Yes I agree, well done to your brother, a lot of musicians I know are doing the same, or volunteered their time elsewhere, or are porting into the digital online age, but for those taking non music jobs, looking at it as a great way for future songwriting material can keep you sane.
Hope there is an explosion of great music and songs when things right themselves, maybe a country western driving song from your brother or he might be a highway to hell type or even a Dvorak inspired trucking classical piece

I know a musician here in Cork that is playing music by the Lough every Sunday now, 2 to 4 or 6 I think, and people love it.

Adapt and thrive! We need the arts now more than ever.

Brings me back. Lovely spot, my late younger sister's ashes are scattered there and there is a bench in her name on the periphery too.

There is so much that could be done for the arts outdoors but it's all so slow to happen. Cork have jumped ahead I see! Always loved that city.
