Good afternoon,

 

As 616 new cases of coronavirus are recorded in Northern Ireland, the worrying surge in positive cases continues to dominate headlines.

 

The GAA today announced it is suspending all club games until further notice following potential breaches of coronavirus restrictions in recent weeks.  

 

Meanwhile, a 46-year-old woman was released on bail today after becoming the first person in Northern Ireland to appear in court accused of breaching covid regulations.

 

We know that life has changed dramatically over the past months so all the more reason to celebrate the events that have been able to take place safely under coronavirus restrictions.  We want you to share your photos with us so we can feature them so please get in touch.

 

Many thanks to all of you who took part in our survey, The Big Conversation, which focuses on how the pandemic has affected every one of our lives.  The findings make for fascinating reading so check out this first analysis piece.

 

Thanks for reading and stay safe.

 

Valerie Martin,
