Relaxation of Restrictions, Part X *Read OP For Mod Warnings*

Real Donald Trump

RobitTV

Same old dreary speech from Michael Martin, that always seems to include the same old scripted sentences and slogans after twelve months of this situation.

He really is utterly tone deaf and increasingly deluded. NPHET probably wrote his speech.

Absolute rubbish, unless they are actually in people’s arms then you may as well not actually bring that up.

Cowards.

And there’s my own personal favourite...”ramp up”

They’ve been saying that since January

Cowards? Or unable to tell the future?

With what or with whom would you like them to be more "brave"? Your life? Your Ma's life? Your kids or your relative with cancer or CF or COPD?

Get a grip.

Can someone explain you can travel in your County yet RTE saying 20k

Unimaginably more...£37 BILLION :eek:....and counting.

We were far more prudent apparently,either that or our numbers did'nt stack up enough....

https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/covid-19-test-and-tracing-cost-hse-e280m-last-year-1094718.html

The figures show that the HSE spent €9.33 million on contact tracing in 2020. A further €5.8 million was spent on costs concerning ‘test and trace’.



Forget Pandemic,and the supposed risks to everybody from Infants to Centenarians,we are now in a business relationship with the Virus,and the figures are eyewatering......



And it's uplifting to all of us who are in this together,to see how the money is going around....

:rolleyes:;):rolleyes:

I just wanted to bring this back for people to read again.
Brilliant comments day after day.
Nails struck squarely on the head.

I think you should take charge.

themacattack.

If you live on the county border you can go 20km into another county

It’s the same as last year when we had no vaccine

There is 700,000 vaccines administered

WTF

I am now in the mindframe that this current regime don't give a damn what damage they do, because they don't want to be around, let alone even be in power in a few years time when it comes for everybody to actually pay for this ludicrous $hitshow

RobitTV

Book your staycations, and sit inside the hotel and don't go out to the closed pubs and boarded up shops.

Delighted that Elite Sports training can resume on 19th April although I didn't even realise it had been stopped.

Ah stop. This tired reasoning doesn't match with 12 months of data.

Some people will get sick yes. Some will unfortunately die, but that's always been the case and we didn't ask the entire country to lock themselves away did we?

Besides, even if those you refer to do get the virus, it being fatal is FAR from certain.

Let's not lose sight of that shall we.

This is for people living across the border from a large town i think.

RobitTV

NPHET have said that there could be "safe activities outside" with the summer weather...

Hahaha. They really live in a bubble.

17larsson

Is there any mention of outdoor contact sports coming back?

FintanMcluskey

From the 26th of April 2 people who have been vaccinated can meet up

Is it to dangerous to have a cuppa on the 25th?

NPHET strike again

ExMachina1000

At least he didn't quote from "Mean girls " like that other yahoo Varadkar last year

Is this within your own County or 20km into the adjoining County like it was sometime in 2020 ?

UK - 12 April


-Non-essential retail opens, hairdressers and some public buildings like libraries

-Outdoor settings like alcohol takeaways, beer gardens, zoos and theme parks

-Indoor leisure like swimming pools and gyms

-Self-contained holiday accommodation, such as self-catering lets and camp sites

Christ im lost for words

Another miserabile 3+ months ahead and more anxiety as the numbers will go up putting reopening in danger

Why can't they be proper protests, they are badly needed at this stage

Could even be August,when that time comes around they will be worried about the schools going back. So I wouldn't hold my breath about pubs opening

Because the media have played a blinder at painting the protests as "far right" troublemakers

This isn't f*cking Twitter. We don't even have a "right" anymore, let alone a far right!

Aph2016

Absolutely pathetic.

-Nearly 600k of the most vulnerable vaccinated.
-Warmer weather coming.
-We know how to manage the virus better.
-We have the data on who is most at risk.
-Majority of cases recently are in much younger age brackets.

But here we are, more than a year later, destroying our economy and society. Screw NPHET, the media, and the government.
