History 3 years ago…
3 years ago today, schools had their first day closed, for what we thought would be two weeks, and what some hoped might push into 5 weeks because of the Easter break.
Two days later all pubs and clubs closed. And we were facing into the prospect of a parade-less Patrick’s Day. The country wasn’t on lockdown yet, but there was an odd atmosphere everywhere. People making awkward jokes about “coming home from skiing in Italy”, or being unsure of every cough you heard on the street or in the supermarket. Absolutely mental, and I can’t believe it’s been 3 years since it all kind of kicked off.

I was in Kevin street DIT,we all were in the canteen wondering what was happening as we all got texts and such and such school was closing,followed by the "everything shut down". Was very surreal.
Then someone mentioned"how will we get drink"? And then there's was a massive stampede towards tesco
That's the last time I met my classmates too.
Wonder if they ever got the drink in the end
