No well-known current day personalities get spared in this humours song, which comes courtesy of funny man Eamonn Macdonncha and his children, Ciarán aged 10 and Cóilín aged 7, all who shared in the performance of “Roll out the AstraZeneca” posted on YouTube.
Sit back and have a good laugh, sure there is nothing else you can be doing this Tuesday morning, as you pretend to work from home.
“Roll out the AstraZeneca”
Oh, lockdown nearly broke us It’s brought us to our knees, Thank god for Arthur Guinness And for the PUPs.
Oh when will the public houses Ever open the door? At the rate of vaccination, It’ll be 2024.
Well Varadkar got the vaccine Just earlier in the week. He had it only in his arm And the thing began to leak!
Well they gave it to Arlene Foster And it drove her half insane, She claims she’s got some Fenian blood And she wants to join Sinn Féin
There’s no one in the restaurants And there’s no one in the pubs, And there’s not a team in Ireland That can stop the bloody Dubs.
When the Green’s get vaccinated Eamonn Ryan’s boots will quake, The biggest job they’ll have is Trying to keep the whore awake.
When they jabbed the Queen of England It created quite a spark, They gave none to Meghan Markl Saying her skin was way too dark.
Movie night has become a family favourite in Co. Tipperary homes throughout lockdown and thanks to online streaming services we can now access thousands of movies in seconds.
It wasn’t always like that. Those of us that remember the 1980s will recall having to rent a VHS player from the old “Movie Club” video rental shop on Kickham Street , here in Thurles, to watch a movie on a big black VHS cassette. Not only that, but many’s the time you had to wait weeks for your turn to rent your favourite movie because the shop only had a limited number of copies.
How times have changed? As of August 2020, it was estimated that 550,000 Irish people were subscribed to Netflix alone, with thousands also subscribed to Disney+ and Amazon Prime.
There’s no doubt, but watching your favourite movie has never been so easy. Given the time of year it is; here are 5 family movie favourites perfect for the Easter holidays. Some are around so long a few of our readers might even have rented them from that old “Movie Club” video shop back in the day!

Domestic Waste being deposited in Thurles litter bins
Public litter bins in Thurles, packed to capacity, were emptied over Christmas, but not by local council employees. No, rather same were emptied by a complex low pressure system, named Storm Bella, which tracked eastwards over our town, before tracking south-eastwards towards the North Sea.
However, in Storm Bella emptying these bins and scattering their contents all over the town, we discover that same are being used for getting rid of domestic household waste, including food stuff.
The bin shown in the picture above near the “Swinging Gates” on the junction of Emmet Street and Thomond Road, shows contents including bread, aubergine skins and used sanitation wipes.
Further along Thomond Road; today’s cold light breeze was playing with tea boxes, dribbling them to and fro along the footpath, together with plastic toilet roll wrappers.
Question: With no person taking responsibility for Thurles Town presently, why do we continue to pay property tax?
