Thread. These are tough times & we are helping each other pull though together. We care about keeping our families, friends neighbours & communities safe. Recently, leaflets containing misinformation & conspiracy theories relating to Covid have been delivered to Fingal households
We need to ask ourselves who is funding these leaflets and what is their real agenda? We are concerned that individuals with far-right connections are known to be involved in their distribution.
