As reported in todayโ€™s @Limerick_Leader some pubs in my constituency are still operating in defiance of best public health advice. This is an attack on our local community, An Garda Siochana canโ€™t act without powers and I say to these people GET REAL and respect peopleโ€™s lives.

All Ireland finals are truly unique occasions. Limiting teams to 40 persons who can attend the Stadium should be reviewed for hurling/football finals. Leaving extended panel players and back room personnel outside is harsh. For the finals family and Co. Board should be admitted.

Hi Michelle, as you and the gang figure out why electorate said Nรญl2SF, a wee word of advice. Dismissing this Republic, those who fought & died for it, & those who today give it their labour, love & loyalty as โ€˜THE SOUTHERN STATEโ€™, might be a good place to start? #JustSayin ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช
