    How many times does a mask have to slip?

    This is happening all along, the TD’s go to golf dinners, the Garda and public service party too!

    Ask yourself about the facts, just how many front line workers have lost their lives from this pandemic!
    How many Garda, Teachers and nurses?
    The Spanish flu resulted in every neighbourhood suffering a loss. Do you know many neighbours who died from this deadly virus. How many Garda at your local station or nurses in your reginal hospital died.

    Call me a sceptic if you want. But, I am expected to get an experimental vaccine how many times!

    I feel so sad for people who trust in the political, economic and social system with blind faith. That level of faith I reserve for one only, God.
