    You know how awful all of this is, the lockdowns, everything being closed, lack of being able to travel, the sense that it'll never end?

    We live on an island. The virus came here by air. Make of that what you will.

    Garda checkpoints on routes near the border. Chances are you'll get stopped at some point.

    The rules are there to protect people. Please don't try to get around them, putting others at risk.

    2/10. Poor effort- needs a lot of work.

    OP don't you live in one of the most scenic counties in Ireland with beauty spots and beaches on your doorstep?

    Why visit somewhere else? Just stay at home like everyone else. Everyone is miserable and fed up. Take a walk or a jog to clear the head. You will only bring something back with you and hurt a close one.

    Yep for sure, you're exactly the type of person who is highly likely to get it. And unfortunately spread it too.
