I must say that I am surprised that the vile comments from posters in this thread toward Dr. Holohan, NPHET and the government and so on are allowed by the board. It is a strange corner of the internet that opinions do not tally with reality where the majority of folks have the utmost respect for Dr Holohan and all those trying to keep us safe at this time.

Vile? We’re allowed have opinions and it’s their behaviour in the media that’s ridiculous. They’ve started to be rightfully called out on this by the government and the public, ie the front page of the examiner this morning.
My opinion is they’re all fecking this up and we’re the collateral damage. They will not be on PUP at any time so it does not infringe on their lifestyle

There's echo chambers...and there's just echoes. I don't know how many times I've seen that phrase ^^^ used. It's still not remotely funny, or even thought provoking. It's misleading. Yes, some people (asymptomatic) don't realise. For others, it's worse than that.

Can you be more specific and provide numbers, or population percentage, in place of 'some' and 'others'?

Translation: "I'm appalled that opinions contrary to mine are allowed to stand, because I'm utterly in the right and they are completely wrong".

Deluded.

Go on, I'll bite. What vile comments exactly. I've seen posters question him, criticise his stance and called him out for previous performances. Maybe the circles you hang around in critical thinking is frowned upon but this is a discussion board and that is exactly what people are doing, discussing opposing views.

Hi, having a view is one thing and no would has an issue with that but some of the comments are going way over the top name calling, telling them to “F” off,, personally abusing them and so on.

I’m not a fan of Holahan! I’m allowed an opinion and I’ll post those opinions. Never abused anyone... they need criticism as those everyone on NPHET or in Government or even ourselves

The really mad thing is, there are people in the main Covid thread wondering when they'll be told what they can and can't do for Christmas.

They are like infants that want Mammy Tony to handhold them every step of the way as they navigate through Christmas. They seem incapable of actually thinking or doing something off their own bat.

It's concerning how many fully grown adults are prepared to outsource their decision making capabilities to an unelected bureaucrat, who has presided over a litany of failures, that in any other country, would see him sacked in disgrace.

That it seems, is the world we now live in.

It’s a fascinating peek into the Irish psychology.

It’s the answer to why Ireland tolerated 800 years of oppression.

It’s indoctrinated into a significant number of people to acquiesce to authority at all costs, even when the authority is blatantly misguided.

Exactly the same for me. I could easily deal with 100 people a day face to face and the majority are fed up and will do what they want come what may

Please let your New Year's Resolution be to move to China or some other Country with a dictatorship so you can fulfill your dream of being completely enslaved and subjugated while the rest of us enjoy our lives.

Hmmm, you sound suspiciously like NPHET- wanting to shut down all (extremely justified) critisicism of this unelected Autocrat. Well no you can't do that because I know my own mind and so long as I have it I will continue to express my views on him and every other NPHET joker and any other ditherer hiding behind them.

What's vile is the effort Dr Holohan went to to cover up cervical check. Vicky phelan was all but strong-armed into signing an NDA. What's vile is the fact that despite level 5 the authorities have allowed outbreak after outbreak in care homes and hospitals and try to pawn the blame off on the public. So why don't you think on how vile those are before you put on your Tony Holohan pyjamas this evening

Looking at it now it's obviously a wind up post. He's pushing too many of the right buttons for it to be an accident

Hi, as I said I am not asking for opinions to be stopped but some of the comments in posts go way over the top.

One I won’t even repeat as it was deleted after being reported, “ tell Tony Holohan to F*** off”, “Dr death, Ro Ro, “ask my arse Tony” and so on just to pick a few. There is worse too but they appear to thankfully get deleted.

Hi, as I said about I have no desire to shut down opinions but I strongly disagree with the personal abuse, name calling, suggestions of illegal/under hand tactics and so on being posted.

Went to Centra just now to get a wrap.

Essential.

I see them photos on newspapers of RTE gang. Smiling laughing and hugging each other on their astronomical 100,000 + 200,000 + 300,000 + wages.

Looking forward to 6.01 tonight, "Covid has claimed many more lives than NPHET estimated, study finds"

I think Tony will be able to bear the slings and arrows of our words by cushioning the blows with the €16k a month he's pocketing for his trouble

Probably one in top 3 funniest things I read in this thread. And I've been lurking since 1st week of May, just shortly after Leo announced 2 week extension to first lockdown. What a stupid idiotic decision that was...

There certainly is underhanded tactical posts on Twitter and passive aggressive interviews on tv and radio. And that’s not just from NPHET, you’ve McConkey, Staines, Ryan, Killeen and last night Aoife McLysaght having total disregard for the retail, hospitality and gym owners

OK so it's not a strong view composed in Shakespearian sonnet form, HOWEVER, to the tone def, the message is clear, people are fed up, desperately pi$$ed off and sick of being patronised with pats on the head followed by the usual "LET UNCLE TONY DO YOUR THINKING FOR YOU" speeches

If you feel so badly for him, why not take some of your famous fortune/trust fund, cast it aside and join NPHET pro bono, you'd be in wonderful company trying to stand up without a spine..it's quite the feat I think we'll agree.

Lol haven’t heard that one in months. Many older and more vulnerable people were beginning to get offended by such patronizing rubbish I guess

Sorry but what is this supposed to mean, based on my post yesterday maybe but really just because a person has some savings aside through hard work and so on suddenly they have a “fortune”. It was very true of another poster recently who said the only folks allows to have opinions here are those with no money or those with money who are anti-restrictions. It’s a very unhealthy outlook that only opinions from certain, most likely biased sources are acceptable.

I have to work to pay my bills and support my family so I won’t be doing anything pro bono.

Utmost respect? Nah. I don't know the fella. He could walk past me in the street and I wouldn't recognise him. I don't feel the need to run him down either though.
