She'll be starting a job next month so she won't. Anyone who's been on holiday with kids knows it's not the same as being at home. The issue here is the provider and they are paying customers.

I have to say I feel for her and her family. Can't be easy. Seems ridiculous to be doing this to an Irish family. They could easily be asked to quarantine at home.

I don't think people thought this would be the consequences of a quarantine system which was aimed at foreign countries.

They came from a foreign country, C-19 does not discriminate on basis of nationality or origin, and self-quarantine was proven not to work in 2020

Hate to be the employer/manager waiting for this woman to finish quarantine and start work - guaranteed trouble maker

That is a juicy racist comment.

Your advocating locking up children who might have come in contact with someone who might have covid? I’m pretty sure that what the Brits did with catholics who might have come in contact with a terrorist.

Anyway, now everyone will read about this story and connect in London and simply lie about where they have come from.

Yeah i'm thinking more of her direct line manager. In my experience 5% of your staff cause 90% of the problems and i'd hazard a guess this woman will be part of that 5%!

Also, pretty cruel on the kids to move them from sunny australia to this damp and windy rock

Half read the article yesterday, just watched the video in the article there. There is plenty of space. They have dramatised it putting all suitcases out on the floor and opening them. Close them and put them in the wardrobes until you need them?
Hotel rooms are always small, what did they expect the penthouse at the Radisson?

Bit sh*t for them as there was no quarantine when they were booking I suppose but this has been on the cards for weeks now, they should have been prepared for the possibility of quarantine and I don't care if they only spent 45 mins in Dubai. They spent time in 3 airports and on 2 planes and didn't have negative test results. Tough bananas.

Home is where your heart pulls you. Sunny Australia wouldn't be on my list of countries to move to.

Honestly as a VHR parent with two kids I would gladly take the holiday with someone else cooking. I’ve been stuck at home a lot this year!

Though we’d probably cram in one family room coz the prices are astronomical. We’ve managed to book something for July but might not even get to go with the way things are

1st world problems.
Yes, you have to quarantine for a few days in a hotel, the horror. It’s temporary.

Scarlet for everyone involved

White people problems.


Try spending 2 weeks on the run in certain parts of Nigeria where boko haram are trying to recruit your 8 year old son, take your daughter as a sex slave and cut your clit hood off because they realised you're not circumcised.

That hotel will seem like..erm a hotel.

There is no way there is enough wardrobe space in those rooms for a family that size.


Maybe we could join the dots...

Did you watch their video? They didn't even attempt to put a single item in any of the wardrobes or units. So join those dots.....

But if they'd done that, the video would have looked a lot less dramatic.

Straight from the Ms Cash playbook.

Be right back

She has nowhere to put their clothes as she walks past an empty wardrobe. Nowhere to put their lunchbags. How about on top of one of the unopened suitcases? Sad faces all round. Doesn't she realise they would have to do it if going to Australia as well?

On a side note, I had to spend last year's birthday on my own as I was in isolation. Maybe I should have sent in a woe is me video to the papers too!!

The idea of quarantine is to stop people travelling. If your going to stuck in a hotel for 2 weeks on your arrival its going to put people off.

The hotel is probably too nice.

It worked for "homeless campaigner" Margaret Cash like a charm.
She got her forever home for free and room for a pony for the kids.

She got away with her little shoplifting spree as well of course...

She's coming back here to start work as a nurse next month. If ever there was a scenario you hoped wouldn't occur with this new strategy this is it, two days into it.

That article is embarrassing for all concerned .I really don't think she is going to get much sympathy and if anyone actually believes this is squalor hopefully more people won't travel until it's safe.

We are one year into a global pandemic. On the grand scheme of things this is a tiny inconvenience.

It won't be inconvenient if they catch COVID when they leave!

At least she hasn't had to home school them while working remotely. She'd have a serious whinge on her then. Honestly feels like they came over here to do quarantine to make a point. Kind of like that Gemma one deliberately getting stopped at a checkpoint then turning it into a f*ckin hoo ha. Just get on with it or stay where you were.

No sympathy for this staged ham performance. She is letting her profession down. My wife would never let me stay in bed while the national media are invited in.

He’s just sick of her bull$hit and just rolls with it. He’s just glad he’s home and can sniff around Maura, who he still yearns for.

I should have probably done the same. Live streamed all the antenatal appointments that I had to attend alone, or baby meeting her family for the first time after ten weeks, through a window. We all just got on with it. Problem with people like her is they think they are some kind of special exception.
