"Irish people's sex lives are nothing like #NormalPeople, single people are having no sex during #Lockdown."

Independent Bishop Michael Cox has called for the cancellation of the remainder of “Normal People” saying it will be an outrage to broadcast full frontal nudity scenes. He said  “It will be an outrage if RTE go ahead and transmit this. Morally it is wrong. Showing a grown man fully naked on TV? It would offend any right-minded human being.”  But are normal people, as in you and me actually having any sex at the moment? What about single people who rely on one night stands or tinder to find love? And are couples living in different households secretly meeting up for a passionate rendezvous?  Henry McKean talks us through the lack of intimacy, lust and love in Ireland.
