In relation to the reopening of the hospitality sector, Mr Martin stated that he did not foresee that scenario happening before the middle of the summer.
Three cases of the virus variant first detected in Brazil, have been confirmed in Ireland, however we understand that these three cases have been completely contained.

    Transport Infrastructure Ireland Failing Thurles Town
    Posted: 20 Feb 2021 02:03 PM PST …….
    …….. “We here at Thurles.Info always give credit where credit is justified.
    Perhaps Mr Marcus O’Connor might like to get up from his office desk and visit the streets of Thurles and surrounding roads, to experience at first hand the failures now being tolerated by the people of Thurles.”

    PERHAPS YOU NEED TO SEND HIM A MAP, TO HELP HIM FIND THURLES? TELL HIM TO AVOID PEAK HOURS, AS THE TOWN IS NOW IMPASSABLE AT THOSE TIMES. WHATEVER WILL IT BE LIKE WHEN THE SCHOOLS OPEN???????????
