To feel so sad I can't go to iteland?

[chateaudoodoo]

We are so lucky to have a family house on the wild Atlantic way. My mum grew up there before coming to London to train as a Nurse.
We haven't been this year fir obvious reasons .
My mum is now 83 and a widow she is a very pragmatic tough woman but today she was crying and said she doesn't think she will ever be able to go to iteland again.
We all feel terrible and are very tempted to take her but would it be terrible?

Unless I'm missing something?

The fact the op stated food delivery wasn't an option and they would need to visit local shops.

It may well be her own house and own country but she would still be traveling a long distance, necessitating at least a few food/toilet stops for unnecessary reasons to a jurisdiction which has in the main being doing alot of good work to try control the virus. Quarantining doesn't take away all the risks to everyone else.

We've a mobile home on the Atlantic way and travel across the border has been difficult. Donegal people have begged visitors not to come. We made one trip to close the mobile home down, returned via Innishowen where we were stopped twice in very lengthy queues.
Is your Mother in good health, I'd be worried about her needing medical attention while she's there.

Why does she have to come now? Is there a reason why she doesn't think she will be able to come in March?
Another one who lives in the WAW and any non Clare registered car is stopped. There are checkpoints, but that is not the point. It is about doing the right thing which at this point us not traveling.
