    Summer at Garylucas Beach

    People in Ireland are discouraged from travelling abroad right now due to the pandemic but luckily the weather is, or was glorious last weekend so everyone who could went to the beach. Lots of cars on the road but there was plenty of room on Garylucas Beach for everyone to be safely distanced from each other.

    * We also have Covid19 deniers who think the pandemic is overblown and the mainstream media is spouting lies about the virus.
