Letter to the Editor: I’m weary of being told that I’m tired of lockdown

Bill O'Sullivan: "We do need lockdowns and restrictions, at least until a vaccine arrives."

I am tired of constantly being told by media commentators that I am tired of lockdown and fatigued by restrictions. Actually, like everyone else, I can’t say I’m exactly enjoying lockdown. However, also like most other people, I see the necessity of the restrictions and am willing to put up with them.

What I do find very hard to put up with is the tragic chorus from Ibec, from the Vintners’ Association, and from “the defenders of the Irish way”. By defenders, I mean rural TDs, telling me I’m not up to it and that I need protection.
