To be honest the Gardaí aren't bothered. They know how futile the 5km restriction is. An empty Dunnes stores or Supervalu bag is your passport to anywhere.

I just walked past the station on Anglesea St in Cork and there were a few lads heading into the station probably on night duty. One guy had a big bag of takeaway walking in and another nearly left his gearbag by his car.

Guards are wrecked and just wanna get on with things - you're dead right. They don't want to be filling in paperwork for something as stupid as 5km breach.

A source for what? We may not have had zero cases or deaths in a day together, I don't remember, but you know what I meant. Don't be pedantic.

They've been consistent with the doom and gloom. Even when things were great they had a problem with something.

I agree with you about the ridiculous RTE doom mongering.

You said there were day(s) in the summer with zero cases,i was asking if you have a source for that.Of course you don't because its not true ie youre talking sh1te.

Trying to excuse that by saying " i can't remember " or "you know what I meant" is like something a 5 year old would come out with.

It's not me that needs helping,i didn't bring it up in the first place,there are no reports to find,it's a lie.
I'm going purely of memory .
There was no day(s) where there wasnt a case in Ireland in the summer.
The lowest it got to was four or so.

You have voted for the policies of those representatives.

Present polices enjoy the support of a large majority, despite the endless whining from those who make a career of being grumps and mé féiners .

So that’d make you a ‘Sinn Féiner’ then? We’re all in this together......

There was a day with 4 cases and no deaths and less than 15 in hospitals across the country.

They still wouldn’t open pubs and let a decent number attend some sport events. They still wanted huge numbers out of work.

Then they act surprised about lockdown fatigue...

Other countries citizens might support a 2nd lockdown because they had lots of
freedom between May - October .

Imagine being under 25, living in Ireland, and listening to the cranks talking at them every day about staying home.


Pathetic way to talk to the ones who will pay for our care in later years, and likely pay the bill for us

I remember being severely dismayed during the summer when they’d give the updated figures which were something like 9 new cases and 0 deaths, then cut to the press conference where Tony would be sitting there still finger wagging and stating we’re not yet where we need to be. Those figures were as good as it is ever ever going to be. Tumbleweeds were blowing in hospitals and community transmission was basically non existent, yet we were still being treated as prisoners and told off for having any kind of hope. It was just utterly depressing. While he is calling the shots we have absolutely 0 chance of any kind of approved normality any time soon.

Tone and his band of merry men have become way too accustomed to the limelight at this stage. Turning up every day on tv telling us morons how bad we are and how to live our lives. Everyone knows now he’s only about protecting the HSE from being exposed as the useless charlatans they are. He’s an absolute disgrace.

Was talking to a friend in Sweden again this evening and he said yeah we’re in kind of lockdown in Stockholm now. We’re being told not to go to shopping centres or pubs and clubs. They’re still all ****ing open though!!!

Tony said that Community transmission was zero in May, yet we never saw a pub opened in Dublin. We weren't allowed to go on Holidays and the leaving cert was cancelled. We were being punished for HSE incompetence.

We'll have to redouble our efforts now.
The next 10 days are crucial.

And we're being punished again for HSE incompetence. They had 7 months to prepare for a second wave and they refused to. Heads should roll in this organizations. Its one scandal after another with them.

News breaking of England going into a national lockdown during the week, similar restrictions to ourselves. Their death numbers set spike around Christmas on current projections. The English won't be as complient as us, it'll be an interesting few weeks ahead to see what happens over there. I really hope they fight back.

This is not living, we are all just existing.

Hello to the forum in general. This level of criticism is both unwarranted and downright incorrect. The HSE, by international comparison, has been doing exceptionally well, and proving quite the envy of many other countries. Ireland ‘outperforming almost all European countries in controlling spread of Covid-19’. Credit where it is due here, and it is clear that the combined efforts of the HSE, NPHET, and both governments in office during the pandemic crisis are performing very well indeed. The carping and negative tone present in some postings here is unhelpful.

Hello to the forum in general.

Why are you welcoming me to the forum?
I've been here a lot longer than you.

And you're wrong, the level of deaths 'with covid' is not the envy of anyone given our young population and relatively high death rate having let the Virus run rampant in nursing homes ((65% of our total deaths).
And the HSE is a shambles, cancelling all screening and non covid treatments during a time when we had no-one in hospital.

I haven't even gotten to our lack of hospital beds and ICU in general despite spending more per capita on health than almost anyone n the EU.
