Dublin to get 2024 Europa League final.

What's the chances it will be cancelled due to the outer Mongolian variant?

Hang on, I thought we embarrassed ourselves so badly by not hosting games that UEFA wouldn't even let us mind the corner flag, let alone host a European final.....

A good news story that shows that we are still in the reckoning for sporting events in spite of the narrative on here. And yet all we get is negative spin.

All the usual suspects will be falling over themselves to click thanks

Genuine question, 15 months in, is anyone here actually still afraid of this virus?

Jesus you are gas..the same man pontificating about UEFA a week ago...typical Raind.

Itssoeasy

I think the government rightly or wrongly don’t want to make the same balls up as they did at Christmas and that may be playing into them being a bit skittish about opening up further if there’s even a hint of doubt. I’m not saying that right or wrong but that’s possibly playing into their thinking. The one thing I’ve heard most politicians agree on is that when we reopen further it’s for good and there’s no going back. They seem terrified of having to give bad news after good.

It can be possible to see Dublin getting to host events as a positive and also to see UEFA is being a morally questionable organisation. They are in no way mutually exclusive positions

Bit worried about it mutating into something beyond the grasp of the vaccine. In other words, a reset back to March last year.

Genuine answer, I was never actually afraid of this virus.

If you see Dublin hosting events as a positive, then by default you surely see Dublin not hosting events (Euro 2020) as a negative.

Sure. If we live in a world without nuance.

It’s not an unreasonable worry in general terms. But please consider this - for us to keep out a mutation beyond the grasp of the vaccine is impossible unless we completely seal ourselves off from the rest of the world until worldwide herd immunity is achieved. That is impossible.

That fear should be completely separate of local restrictions in a country. The only concerns around easing of restrictions should be based on current circumstances. Our circumstances have absolutely no indicators that should stall planned easing of restrictions.

we will know the bad news this time next week

Yes, it is negative. Would have been great to host the games. But our priorities were elsewhere. Again, it is possible to not be happy about something and also understand why

It wouldn't be anything like March 16th-23rd of last year though. A hard week to forget.

The day before the most recent lockdown at Christmas people were walking around like normal, chatting smiling or whatever.

It was just an ordinary day apart from the fact that you knew in the back of your mind we were being put back in our cages the day after.

It's 2021, you can't eat a burger inside and you think a story about 2024 is positive. I'm sorry but you are living in a different world to the normal person.

I genuinely think government will shoot down any attempts to push things back this time.

Coming from Government ministers according to Paul Cunningham

I am sorry. But this is quite bizarre on here. Weeks of we are a laughing stock and will lose all credibility and won’t get future events because we didn’t host the euros. Then the organisation which was hosting the Euros are selecting us to host their second biggest club event at the next available date, given 22 and 23 were already awarded, and this is somehow not a positive thing. Odd little place this.

Jaysus we have backwards cnuts running the country. 41 in hospital and 13 in ICU and they are still thinking of delaying the opening of the hospitality trade

Unfortunately many still are living their life this way because it affects them greatly. 270,000 people thereabouts claiming PUP. I’d say it is most exhausting for them mentally. And many more not affected financially are feeling the ill effects of enforced social isolation, delayed medical appointments, worry for their children etc.

Good for those who are looking forward to putting a dent in bloated bank accounts for a foreign holiday, but there are too many people worried for their futures for a host of reasons.

Easy to say ignore RTE, but as disgraceful as they’ve been, they are privy first to the intentions of government and NPHET so if you are anxious for any of the multiple possible reasons by restrictions, then it’s natural to pay attention to what’s being reported.

Think PTH2009 called it here first about indoor dining not opening on July 5th,looks like he could be right and was ridiculed by some posters

gmisk

The floating of delaying opening indoors dining etc is a shambles.
It will just continue the flood of people heading to the north, the hospitality sector, especially restaurants and bars are getting a seriously raw deal down here.
We have delayed long enough.

KrustyUCC

If they delay now its very hard to see when they'll allow indoor hospitality

What a shambles this government is

Absolutely spineless if they allow a delay

TheDoctor

Think outdoor this winter

Silentcorner

Oh you can get indoor hospitality tho...just in HSE Primary health care facilities....they were never closed.

I’m done with this, if they announce a delay I’m booking a flight out of here.
