    Yeah I heard one of the sons, was in the ICU with type 1 Diabetes and organs failing and had his last rights read to him, nothing about him dying.

    This is not true. He’s in ICU in a bad way but he has not died


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,163 ✭✭✭✭Gael23


    He’s just after dying

    Jesus. And there you go, the real life effects of not following guidelines.

    Wexford was doing so well for the last month or so up until this. :(

    Such a sorry twist in an awful situation

    Just when you thought you had seen peak stupidity regarding Covid, then you see this.

    Whatever your thoughts on this situation, a bit of sensitivity wouldn't go amiss.

    Agreed, christmas is ruined for hundreds and hundreds of families and even more reprecussions likely for the family at the centre of this mess

    had to bring my elderly mother[86] to crosstown cemetery today to visit graves . wall to wall with our ethnic friends for a funeral . For anybody who knows the area both sides of the road and car park bumper to bumper . typical of the selfish ....

    59 cases today
    Wexford’s 14 day rate nearly double the national average


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,363 ✭✭✭✭Del.Monte


    Standards in retail gone to hell in recent months - no attempt in my local Dunnes to control numbers entering, no cleaning of baskets, defective/empty hand sanitisers etc. and yesterday in Dealz was served by somebody at the checkout with mask hanging off one ear. :rolleyes:

    Priest at the Ramsgrange funeral now has Covid-19. Hopefully tomorrow's funeral isn't as busy as the last one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60 ✭✭deise18


    Have heard locally that another family member is seriously ill too. So sad , so shockingly irresponsible, and so preventable.

    The priest in Ramsgrange?
    The PP of Horeswood is in isolation after officiating at the funeral

    This has carried on for months and months and months all over the country and nothing done about it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,163 ✭✭✭✭Gael23


    Been told Verona Murphy is suspected of having it now.

    The Nrpew Ross and Campile area is basically alive with it

    was told she was all right , didn't say it here cos wasn't sure . herself and local garda srgnt , in pub or marquee half the night .
    I wonder where the traveler who was buried yesterday was from , will we get another huge spike somewhere

    first line should read ''was there''

    While I get people saying to be sensitive about what has gone on, there is no getting past the absolute utter irresponsible and wreckless behaviour which has lead to this situation.
    If this was this time last year, and covid was brand-new disease, I would have had enormous sympathy for all involved. As in, they didn't know what they were dealing with. But there is absolutely no getting past the stupidity of what has gone on here and the absolute blatant ignorance towards public health.
    These are the life and death decisions which everybody who behaves like this is taking into their hands.
    It is tragic for all involved but the actions of these people have put a whole region at risk, sorry if I am not feeling any sensitivity. And talk about sensitivity to those in our health service who are cleaning up the mess.

    Yesterday’s funeral was Adamstown.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,163 ✭✭✭✭Gael23


    With regard to sensitivity I think the main thing to be aware of is that the New Ross area is a small community and everyone knows each other, at least anyone that comes from there. So it’s important to have facts right before putting things out

    The family who caused the Ramsgrange outbreak aren't travellers. What does that have to do with anything.

    No one said they were. I assume it’s stating that there are other meetings going on around the county that shouldn’t be happening, that’s what I got from it anyway

    So it’s not just me who noticed! I hadn’t been to dunnes in a while but went a few days or so ago & their entry system has totally been dropped, they used to stand by the doors and wave you in, staff were constantly cleaning trolleys and baskets as you said, now it’s just free for all.
