Mayor of the County of Cork, Cllr. Mary Linehan Foley urges people to continue to adhere to Public Health Advice when enjoying outdoor amenities

While people are traveling for leisure, both to enjoy the natural amenities and recent good weather across our beautiful county, I am asking everyone to continue to comply with social distancing and public health guidance. In fact, we need to not only continue, but strengthen our resolve against Covid-19 in the coming weeks, to avoid undoing all that we’ve achieved through hard work and sacrifice. Large numbers assembling at beauty spots and group gatherings put everyone at risk and could impact our prospects for enjoying a real summer and welcome the opening of our valued county businesses. We’re all looking forward to supporting the recovery of our local economies while enjoying the best of the summer season but to do so we have to remain committed to suppressing this virus. The strength and prosperity of any community lies in the compassion and empathy of its members. With this in mind, I ask you all to stay alert and mindful of the safety of others, and to keep up our guard against Covid-19 to help ensure an enjoyable summer for all.

 

Fad is atá daoine ag taisteal le haghaidh fóillíochta, chun taitneamh a bhaint as na taitneamhachtaí nádúrtha agus as an aimsir mhaith a mbíonn againn le déanaí ar fud ár gcontae álainn, iarraim ar gach duine leanúint de bheith ag cloí le treoir maidir le scaradh sóisialta agus sláinte phoiblí. Déanta na fírinne, ní amháin go gcaithfimid leanúint ar aghaidh ag cloí, ach is ga dúinn ár réiteach i gcoinne Covid-19 a neartú sna seachtainí amach romhainn, chun gach a bhfuil bainte amach againn a sheachaint trí obair chrua agus íobairt. Cuireann sluaite móra ag suíomhanna áilleachta gach duine i mbaol agus d’fhéadfadh tionchar a bheith acu ar ár n-ionchais taitneamh a bhaint as samhradh fíor agus oscailt ár ngnólachtaí contae luachmhara. Táimid go léir ag tnúth le tacú le téarnamh ár ngeilleagair áitiúla agus taitneamh a bhaint as an gcuid is fearr de shéasúr an tsamhraidh ach chun é sin a dhéanamh caithfimid a bheith díograiseach inár n-iarrachtaí chun an víreas seo a chur faoi chois. Is é comhbhá a mbaill neart agus rathúnas d'aon phobail. Agus seo san áireamh, iarraim oraibh go léir fanacht ar an airdeall agus a bheith aireach ar shábháilteacht daoine eile, agus coimeád slán ó Covid-19 chun samhradh taitneamhach a chinntiú do chách.
