Great to see « food » again after today’s release from ICU. Thanks to all for best wishes. Cancer officially in remission and plumbing reconnected! My thoughts tonight are with those not so lucky as me and those protesting the poor quality of health offerings esp in the MidWest.

A very special personal Limerick moment this afternoon. Ambition realised to see the railings at @HuntMuseum removed to open up our lovely garden. Connecting the museum with the public and removing barriers. Amazing how big the garden looks. Thanks to all who made this possible!

Too often we automatically fund questionable road projects in our budget, & then throw badly-needed public transit under the bus by tying its funding to controversial new “taxes.” A smart budget would do the opposite — fund transit 1st, then have people vote on new road funding.

Election Day is fast approaching. Here's a new short video from me explaining the role of Directly Mayor for #Limerick , how it is different from the role of Councillor and TD and why I would like you to vote for me No 1 on Friday and trust me to be your Mayor. #MoreForLimerick

Strange to be back to a Friday Sexton’s bar pizza evening on our own but with no invited friends at home. Let’s all work this second time around to quickly flatten the “curve”. We can do it. This cannot become our new normal! But while it lasts support local if you can.

I love the way some councillors are forgetting that they have been councillors for nearly five years at least - some ten! They set the budget every year, allocate resources and have a chamber to hold people to account. How are they suddenly going to start delivering where they…

So day two of three for my Mayoral Actions focus. Today is retail. Things are bad! When even the Tourist office abandons the city centre for the second time, you have to ask what is going wrong and how can we fix it. Are our towns and villages any better?

Surely images like these show the need to reverse the vision created 10 years ago to divert a new street for traffic through this green public space! #limerick So many people enjoying themselves after COB when the decision makers have left town! And this is mid/late October.

For those I have seen asking why am I talking about SMEs “now”, maybe this helps. I have been worried about how our SME sector and finance worked before, but this time I am REALLY worried. We need action and we need it quickly to safe good small businesses.

I hate to say it but case building for italian style shut down of Dublin from the rest of the country to help containment until they show they can take social distancing seriously. Just watched Rte news. Do people not realise how serious this is? They cannot be that selfish!!

One new county today with >5 cases - Offaly. Monaghan now has a case, so there is a case in every county. Dublin is really pulling ahead. 57% of cases are in the capital, even though it is roughly a third of the total population of the country.
