105 mins and a substantial meal, my arse

I think the commentary on this thread says a lot. People have changed so much in the last 4-8 weeks.

The game is up, we need to get back to living and get out of this crazed hysteria.

This can be achieved responsibly - unfortunately the Irish were sold a dud, we were sold that we would shut down for 2 months and return to normal but this was never sustainable.

The fact our government take action because of a tweet, a thread on boards or a day upswing in covid cases illustrates just how nuts things have become.

It is going to be a long long winter.

Chances are loads of the people present filmed the scene and put it up on their own social media accounts. The way you are describing it is if some weirdo was running around Ireland filming these scenes.

To film something like that and put it on social media is weird, and scummy.

There was also a video but they threw the head up and took it down.

I’m going to be straight you lot. Other than the risk of injury from falling and the noise, I fail to see an issue with this video.

Is that what we have become now, a nation of self righteous, curtain twitching, high horse wranglers?

And as for these tossers who film this and post it on social media, are they after anything other than hits and going viral? After all if they were concerned they’d contact the gardai, not that I see any law being broken anyway.

I’m flying the flag for the people in the video either. I’m not going to judge them though. No different than me not judging 2 consensual adults for not wearing a condom during a sexual encounter.

I’d rather they do this outdoors than indoors at house parties. Even Gabriel Scally, one of the key figures of doom, said he’d rather see 500 people on a beach than a packed indoor venue.

The government doesn’t like to talk about that as it would rather to peddle the narrative that any social activity is high risk. A bit like in the 80s when people thought sitting on a public toilet seat could give you aids.

Absolute nonsense. They should all be fined for multiple breaches of the rules put in place to try stop the spread of this virus.

If you cant see the risks of what they are doing you are either not very bright or are In the covid is a hoax camp.

They weren't even in a pub, it was outside.

We really are becoming a nation of curtain twitchers.

What rules did they break? As I said before that street is packed with tourists during the day with no masks and not social distancing. The same in every tourist town in Ireland.

There’s videos online that the revellers put up of themselves too.

I’d love if after I saw the videos I then realised that I’d just woken up from a really crazy dream about a pandemic.

Videos gone viral.
Bit like covid in Killarney.

Which of them was this...

Gardaí are investigating the death of a man in Killarney, Co Kerry overnight.

A man in his 20s was discovered lying unconscious outside the entrance to a hotel on the Muckross Road shortly after 11.30pm.

I took down the video as this tread did not go as planned, I more so had a problem with the pubs and guards not enforceing the guidance.

You give people enough drink they do stupid things, the video was already on twitter and facebook before any posting here.

Plans never do.

Sorry.

It's a crowd of people gathered outside, which generally isn't seen as a major risk. We're going to have similar numbers of people in a much smaller space with the achools reopening. They're acting like arseholes in public and if you want to condemn them for that fair enough but I can't see how it's high risk in terms of COVID.

The desperation to pin all the blame on people partying is getting a bit much considering behaviour like this really hasn't been linked to many (if any) outbreaks.

Grand, that's one. How many are linked to meat plants, direct provision centres, and nursing homes? How many will be linked to schools in the coming months?

But sure focus all the blame on the young people.

Just because one thing is wrong it doesn’t make everything else right.

I get what youre saying but I think some are missing the point and the OPs intention...

30+ people out on the street with a fair few fairly merry, some holding pints etc.

Pubs are suppossed to serve a meal with drink plus limit your time to 105mins

Where did all these people come from, by coincidence they all drank at home and met up to sing ****e songs at a gob****e on a phonebox?

It looks like they all spilled out of the same establishment and the impromptu sing song happened..

So the OP had issue with pubs not following guidelines and the lack of gardai being present to disperse yhe gathering
