I honestly think the media is setting the family up, there's not a single statement from them that doesn't drip entitlement.

I would feel it was my decision to come home via Dubai knowing I had to quarantine with my three children . I would feel I knew the consequences and suck it up

She would have quite a bit more space if she tidied up and stacked the cases .

Ha setting them up? They're digging their own hole to be fair. The media are just giving them an audience.

The entitlement is strong in the mother. Id say she's a neck like a jokeys ar$e, so any ire she receives from Joe public will be water off a ducks back anyway.

I'd be grateful. She knew that quarantine in Ireland was on the cards for the last few months and that she would possibly hit it. She knew what sort of 'conditions' quarantine were. She complains anyway. :rolleyes: She wasn't given conditions any different to what anyone else is getting, if she wanted more space she should have paid for an extra room.

Well they might set up car park for them so. Plenty of space to exercise. And of course big table and enough chairs to accommodate them. Christ that family is moaning over basically nothing. People have to suck up much more at times.. ZERO sympathy in this case.

Somebody who knows them might send them link for this thread.

I'm sure she's googling herself to see how much of a splash she's made. I'd be mortified turning up to the first day in my new job if I was her.

How much notice did we get that the country was going into lockdown? I think she can cope with it for 12 days!

I know parents with special needs kids have had little to no respite over the last year. Really hard year for some families.

As you can see, she can't. Imagine the hell she's going through, husband and three kids in 2 rooms, and no trampoline in sight

We have had a year of rolling lockdowns. She came from a country doing really well with their numbers and is moaning about 12 days in two rooms. I think her room was upgraded to a suite since.

That's true but the ticket was likely bought before the forced quarantine.

Not saying it's right or wrong but I'd be fuming too if I were to travel home and Ireland just put the country I live on on the list.

They knew about quarantine, they knew the price, their choice. Simple.

Relocating your family across the world isn't simple. I think this thread is very harsh on them because the woman is having a slight nervous breakdown.

Is that your official diagnosis? Have you any idea how many people in Ireland have suffered with mental health issues over the last 12 months? Survivors of sexual abuse, whose recovery has been arrested by lockdown (check out the stats on 1 in 4), domestic abuse victims, we don't even know the full figures for children suffering domestic abuse who for a long time didn't have school as an only outlet or escape. But this woman is having a slight nervous breakdown over a birthday cake. I won't be shedding tears for her.

People in care home with no visitors for over a year. People who cant attend funerals . People in hospitals with no visitors . People struggling with children with special needs and no respite
People who haven’t seen new grandchildren . The list is endless
People are at the end of their tether and are really not in position to feel sorry for this whinging

I get it. But having slight nervous breakdown, nope, not buying it at all. Is she and husband old enough to make decisions? What did she expected, red carpet to 5 bedroom apartment? Only 12 days max., they'll survive without any mental damage, don't worry. They just trying to milk out a bit of this mess. Imo, attention seekers, that's all.

What's a "slight" nervous breakdown?

Not a nervous breakdown at all? Throwing a tantrum?

It's when you rock up to your home country and get hit with a 5k bill. It's a lot of money and I could see many people pissed off in a similar situation.

Instructions for nervous breakdown: Grab your phone and start recording full and open suitcases and after that, have a nice detailed shot of empty wardrobe. To maximize effect put few paper bags anywhere you want and contact the media. Have a paper tissues handy.

Edit: Count the chairs and tables properly before the meltdown.

Oh and don't forget to video your bored kids, that's a win for sure.

Unfortunately her tantrum got her what she wanted opening the door for other tantrum throwers

When you voluntarily choose to
move across the planet to your second house you kept and now whinge that it will cost you money AND you will have to obey the countries rules because you chose ( as a medical professional( to drag tour children and yourself through an extremely high risk country who countries all over the world have strict embargos on. Including our own.

If Tulsa were any good they’d be on this.

Who brings 3 kids from an entirely safe, pandemic free part of the world and BRINGS them through a country with a rare and highly infectious new strain, to land them inna country rampant with the incurable virus, and them wants them to be let out???? Parenting much?

Icsics

This mother is making the situation worse for her family. Any photo I’ve seen the kids are sitting around with their heads stuck in their phones. It’s going to be a long quarantine for them

There is a whole herd of high horses all over this story.
We now have detention on arrival and a Garda operation to find someone whose crime was to fly into the country.
And people say there is no slippery slope.

Are you drunk?

"BRINGS them through a country with a rare and highly infectious new strain"

You mean an airport connecting flights corridor? For 45 minutes?

It's no crime to fly over. You just follow the rules of whatever country you land in.

According to the website linked to from the appropriate gov.ie page (http://www.quarantinehotelsireland.ie/), it's 4735 euro for the 12 nights. That's nigh on 2800 euro a week. I presume the hotel isn't spending that on security, considering...

Edit: I just picked a date at random so maybe that number varies a bit. Still, considering the state of the hotel industry at the moment, it sounds great value for money. Not.
