Bank Holiday Weekend We Find Ourselves In
Our Garda Are Out In Force
Checking To See That We Are Playing Our Part
Staying The Course
Checkpoints Set Up
“Fanacht” In Place
Four E’s, Explain, Engage, Encourage, Enforce, Applies
They Are Here To Help Stop The Spread Of This Deadly Disease
To Help Save Another Who Could Die, They Are Saving Lives
These Rules Do Not Apply To Those Who Live North
Even Though Some Border Counties Are Hot Spots Where This Thrives And Is Staying Alive
License Plates Are Being Checked Outside Closed Parks
Reminders Of The Distance, Still Two Metres We Can Roam
A Hefty Fine, Next Time Could Be Waiting For You When You Get Home
To Ease The Burden
Those Who Care
We Stay Home Knowing That Our Actions,Our Sacrifices Are Saving Lives
So Please No Parties After Dark
No Large Picnics In The Parks With Others By Your Side
Stay Close To Home
We Can Do It, Why Cant You
It’s Our Best Chance To See This Through
We Are All In This Together
“Le Cheile” Will Get Us Through.
