Local Lockdown Approach - Cache Publication - Events & CITOs - Archiving Caches
24th December 2020
The Ireland Reviewer Team is committed to following government directives.
As a 6-week lockdown is commencing tomorrow night in Northern Ireland, to be followed closely in the Republic we are once again ceasing publication of new caches.
Your understanding is greatly appreciated.
We wish you all a happy Christmas and look forward to some normality returning later in 2021.
Stay safe.
Cuilcagh & Inishanier.
