This thread is lovely and this one is making me homesick and emotional. When this is all over, I will go home more often. I’ve never been to this little wonder.
Offaly – St. Manchán’s Shrine, Boher.Clonmacnoise is the obvious pick here, it is simply incredible – but I just love that one of the truly exceptional pieces of early medieval art can be found sitting in a local parish church in Boher, County Offaly. pic.twitter.com/MAMkO6ymRQ— Neil Jackman (@JackmanNeil) March 17, 2020

Right, that's getting bookmarked, we have a long holiday just touring Ireland planned for (waves) the future.
It'll be for naught if we don't see someone resembling this fella in a pub though.
My son has a thousand gorgeous angles and the pic that gets traction makes him look like he was born playing darts. In 1957. Looking like he just got some bad news about a tractor trailer his nephew was minding for him.

our pretty decent figures and the likes of the above are a really welcome burst given everything, yeah
the shops are well stocked, the ventilator place in galway is set up for 24 hour shifts and hiring, the govt are ahead of our figures so far and testing, isolation and treatment facilities are coming online quickly to keep ICU clear
40k volunteers with expertise to help out with HSE efforts
big redeployment to social protection and hse from public service over next week for admin work
medical personnel are contracting it at a rate of 1 in 5 which is a worry
and notwithstanding the numbers going up and the worry, etc, we're doing about as well as we could imo

The future that will come after this virus will be radically different from what we have experienced before. It is my sincere hope that we will be able to develop in parallel both an inclusive immediate response to the pandemic and an adequate, comprehensive approach to the underlying challenges associated with the growing inequalities and environmental devastation inherent in our current models of connection between economy, society and ecology.The coronavirus reminds us that poverty, disease and climate change are global phenomena, which do not respect man-made borders. To address these global challenges, we need international cooperation and solidarity. Now is the time for more, not less, multilateral coordination and assistance, and for a reinforcing of our bonds.As President of Ireland, may I thank all the members of the Irish community in Britain, whether by birth or by association, for their efforts.I am particularly thinking of our elderly Irish at this time. Between 1955 and 1960, a quarter of a million Irish people left Ireland for the U.K. and again in the 1980s when, with others, I was associated with the Action Group for Irish Youth, at a time of social welfare and housing cuts.May I also ask you all to continue to take the greatest care at this time, to follow advice, and retain a sense of patience and commitment to the core values of a shared citizenship. These are difficult times, but times that will pass.

Lads come on!https://d2wwnnx8tks4e8.cloudfront.net/images/app/large/5099274000118_3.JPGPerri popcorn is not good, though I will always have a soft spot for the brand after winning a box of their crisps as a child. It doesn’t help that the prepopped popcorn you can buy here is luxury shite that’s not half as good for twice the price.
