Did you see the photographs of the funeral for that poor Garda? There were all kinds of covid restrictions broken and not just by political posturers.
MON at least apologised for breaking the covid restrictions in another jurisdiction, but Drew Harris (head of the law enforcement agency here) and Co. did not for their breaking of the restrictions and tolerance, nay encouragement, of many hundreds of others to do similar in this jurisdiction.
Interesting that the one in the north would attract such pearl-clutching here but there's a "nothing to see here" attitude prevalent here for the one in the south.
