Dear Editor
I wish to protest against the rag tag bunch who turn up on Saturday’s in Scariff to demonstrate against the wearing of masks to limit the speed of this dreadful virus that has caused so much suffering and death to members of our community.
These people, including one locally elected representative of Mountshannon Community Council, should take their stupid ideas and return to their homes in disgrace.
I am angered and appalled by their demonstration and their callous disregard to others in the community in which they live. These people may feel they have a right to express their opinions but I feel our right to good health and safety trumps this.
At this time when hospitals are being overrun by the sick and dying it is just not acceptable to have this type of demonstration going on.
Doctors, nurses and other health workers are putting their own health on the line to tend to those who have become infected by Covid and for these people to turn up each week shows the contempt they have towards these gallant workers.
Enough is enough. Go home and take your banners and leaflets with you. You are not wanted.
Name with the Editor.
