Of the new admissions going into hospital in the last 24 hours do we know what age groups/ any underlying conditions these people belong to/have ?

I believe SpookWoman used to post this data, but I haven't seen her on here in awhile

It's out there on government owned websites, but - if memory serves - it takes a lot of digging into the numbers

The council and the guards were dead right to remove the marquee

Limit for weddings is currently 6 not 200

Some cheek of the organisers to think acwedding for 200 is appropriate at this stage of restrictions

And where do they draw the line in skipping age order. Household members a year different in age? Two years. Three?

As I said in my post. I wasn't commenting on policy. My post was in reply to a comment that stated that it would be difficult to arrange by Eircode across age ranges. I simply said that it is not a technical barrier.

I believe it is also the case that people living together in the same grouping are not automatically called together. Once again a simple system can sort that.

They let the wedding go ahead and were afraid to remove the marquee.. county council and guards left the area so wedding was allowed. They did ask nicely but were told to **** off and laughed at .

Oh no, only about 120. Still in full swing apparently, sets a great precedent, dig your heels in tell the authorities to **** off and you can do what you like. joke

From the Rte News web page...

Garda Superintendent Jim Delaney said attempts by officers to engage with both the wedding organisers and the owner of the marquee had failed.

"We liaised with both families and the marquee owner and served them with written copies of the current State Covid-19 public health guidelines but both chose not to engage with us."



So, the first time I decide to shoplift something, can I choose not to engage with the Gardai investigating me??

meanwhile, today, per Irish Times:

"Pavee Point says high incidence rate shows urgency of priority vaccination for Travellers"


Edit: apologies, they also "attributed the high infection rate, amounting to about one in every 10 members of the community, to underlying health issues and overcrowded living conditions with Travellers having the biggest families yet the fewest rooms per family compared with the wider population. “It is a perfect storm for Covid,” she said. “It is very hard to follow the Covid-19 health guidelines. If you have bigger families and smaller spaces, how can you socially distance?”

Nothing to do with 200 at weddings so.

Why are people blaming the travellers. The Gardai showed up, talked to the organisers and then allowed the wedding to go ahead. The Gardai allowed the wedding to proceed, that is the story.

They can **** right off.
Law abiding citizens putting up with lockdown and not seeing friends or family and then this particular group of people get away with doing what they want when they want, all the while their spokes group tell us how down trodden they are!
PISS OFF!!

Why is there one rule for one group of people and one rule for others though?

Hadn't the manpower to stop it. They didn't just tell them "fire ahead and enjoy the day!"
They tried to convince the families not to go ahead but as usual, they couldn't give a fck and just suit themselves.
Gardaí prob didn't want to cause a running battle.
Personally I'd support the ARU and riot squad being called in to break it up and charge every last on of them.

Not sure. Think it's something to do with travellers having organised it? Something like that? Gardaí making a decision not to actively prevent it (presumably on legitimate grounds that it woulld cause other problems) does not mean it's ok to organise it.

Maybe we should blame old people. Or some other group.

This boils my blood not only have my partner and I had to postpone our wedding twice due to the pandemic (along with multiple couple friends of ours) this c##p is still going on and they’ve the cheek to say they need to be vaccinated first. This country is gone to the dogs. Zero repercussions for this cohort how many of these weddings funerals and parties have we read about at this stage, let’s not forget when they blocked the main road to Headford last year blocking ambulances and front line workers travelling to and from work when we were in the height of the first wave.. fail to see why we get fined for strolling outside on a beach outside your county yet an event like this which is clearly against the rules goes ahead with little or no stopping it .. what an age to live in Ireland - apologise this story has touched a nerve

Law abiding citizens putting up with lockdown ????
Have you read any of this thread or others on the forum ? The prevailing trend has been that the restrictions are nonsense and you should be ignoring them. Have a read of it to get a sense of it.

It must also be recognised that the organisers of this wedding declined to engage with the Gardai, and careful judgment must be exercised when dealing with members of minority ethnic groups which may not always be the same as for the wider population.

Could we not give them the vaccine with an added ingredient of a sterilisation enzyme

There isn’t. Same rules for everyone but only enforced for some. It’s not an isolated incident letting this proceed, there are countless examples in the last year.

If Pavee Point made that statement, a journalist should ask their spokesperson for an interview on today's events.

So they break the law and they get away with it because we must be careful as they are members of an ethnic minority? Is that what your saying?

This is exactly the issue why should this cohort be treated differently when it comes to the law that applies to all citizens. The restrictions apply to all regardless if people agree or not it’s widely unfair on those who have sacrificed a lot over these last 14 months

KrustyUCC

Very poor from the Gardai allowing the wedding to go ahead

Every couple getting carried over the next few months should do what the travellers did

Ignore the restrictions
Possibly pay a €500 fine

Have 200 at a wedding instead of six

TheDoctor

Hospital numbers at 8pm

Total 122 (down from 132 last night)
ICU 37 (down from 39 last night - 1 death)


Last Wednesday
Total 151
ICU 43

Yeah I have a mate getting married in a registry office tomorrow after postponing his wedding twice.

Joke-shop that it was allowed to go ahead purely so as not to be accused of discrimination.

Agreed, I cant think of anywhere else that they wouldn't do everything they could to talk them into icomplying nd if that didnt work bring in resources from all over the place to break it up and lock them up

So frustrating for people

What's to stop the next wedding being 500 or 1000 when the guards didn't stop this one?

Normal One

The Gardai should rethink their communications strategy, maybe try a megaphone next time.
