We could have shut the border to all but necessary travel, certainly all the main routes. I know there are obvious political implications to that, but this is the most serious pandemic in a century, and weâve all had 2km or 5km borders around us for basically a year as it is. Shutting the border doesnât seem so extreme when you consider it like that.
The DUPâs outright rejection of an all island strategy was over loyalty to the Union. But all they were being loyal to was Covid. Similarly, deeply held emotional beliefs about there being no border on this island in practice meant not being loyal to fellow Irish people, but being loyal to Covid.
Some people would have loved the penal laws. Ratting out their neighbours for going to the mass rock, ag caint as gaeilge or any rebellion anti brit talk
I canât understand it at all. Some clubs have completely barred even one person on their own going into train, while others have their pitches and walking tracks open for everyone to access. Seems bizarre that I canât train in my own GAA club grounds but I could train away in a neighbouring clubs grounds.
