A memorial forest paying tribute to all those who have lost their lives to Covid-19 has been proposed for Longford. At the May meeting of Longford County Council, Cllr Paraic Brady proposed the idea as a “greener energy and greener aspect” for the county.
“I spoke to a person in Fingal and they’re looking for a site for a national forest to represent all those people that have died of Covid-19,” Cllr Brady explained.
“You’d be talking about planting roughly in the region of 5,000 trees - one tree for every person that has died. It’s sort of a memorial forest, somewhere central in the middle of Ireland to represent all those people who have died.

Motivations unmasked
Who isn’t fatigued, tired, stressed and left feeling helpless by this relentless virus? For those that protest and defy health orders, you wear a convenient veil, or rather a metaphorical mask, as a guise for your freedom of choice and exercising your charter rights. Really? We see through your mask of self-centredness and your arrogant belief that you are simply more important than the rest of us. Your irresponsible, reckless actions and blatant disregard for our health system put the lives of those that are saving and protecting us at enormous risk. So, a simple message to all you anti-maskers, COVID deniers and anti-vaxxers hiding behind your freedom mask; you are not so special! But since you believe you are so special, so important, buy your own health care, education and other public goods you consume. Why should we pay for you?
