They weren't sold to me as the beginning of live music. They were a complete joke. This is the way I see it...and you can tell me I've rose tinted glasses on or whatever - The pubs reopened outdoors only with no live music. The pubs reopened indoors with no live music (with a vaccine pass). Pubs could have live music outdoors. That's not going backwards to me. I accept that you see it differently.

Maybe actually quote what I say instead of making things up to suit your agenda. Cheers.

Same gaslighting tactic used since the beginning of this craic. During the height of level 5 people were saying they weren’t really restrictions because you could still exercise and go to Aldi.

It’s sickening, someone was claiming before dancing wasn’t banned because you could dance in your own house. It’s beggars belief. I refuse to believe these people don’t have some sort of agenda in which the restrictions or current situation benefit them. Time to mark and ignore these people!

And the government refusing a plan for reopening live entertainment is progress also I suppose?

The fact you are happy with crumbs like one fella playing a guitar outside while the wider industry is being sent down the gutter, is kind of sad. We have the 2nd highest level of vaccinations in the EU but are beyond cowardly in the reopening. I don't understand how you can be happy with that but it's indicative that Irish people will literally put up with any old nonsense and be grateful for it.

2nd jab or 3rd jab?

I really hope not. The festival I was at over the weekend was a breath of fresh air. I wouldn't go to a festival in sheep pens like the ones earlier in the year. They're a complete joke.

No, that's not progress Colman. I'm not happy with it. You can keep assuming how I feel about everything all the time if you want. At the same time, there's absolutely fúck all squared I can do about the situation so I'm not going to get too worked up about it either. I have an out - I can go to gigs in the north. In fact, it's easier for me to go to Belfast than it is to Dublin. I have a motto I use now and again - don't worry about things you have no control over.

I have a little more respect for the countries that just flat out say, "You all need to get vaccinated, get it done or else". At least you know where you stand, as opposed to snide backdoor coercion tactics that don't pass even the simplest of logic tests.

Why was the roadmap rejected ?

So is this the end for the industry's hopes of indoor gigs returning this year and there been told 'not yet lads we cant promise xx date but we'll keep the supports and PUP in place for ye'

He's talking about civil servants. Not the general public. And the "consequences" seem to be regular testing.

Just on the subject of music and concerts, there is a teeny weeny bit happening as regards outdoor events, just came across some outdoor ones here https://magicnightsbythelee.com/ tickets are free, limit of two hundred people, checking one or two events, the tickets are all gone. Wonder if these events are nationwide but probably next to impossible to get tickets anyway.

His party lost the election in Nova Scotia. They were favourites to win going by the polls. Life isn't brilliant here, but I don't fancy living in Oz or Canada at the moment.

Fair play to the organisers but thinking further afield at this point in the vaccination roll out we shouldn't be still having outdoor events with 200 max. We should be doing everything possible to get the sector back up and running but nope 'indoor music events still too dangerous'

Floppybits

We will just have to prepare for an outdoor winter with the way things are going and our cowardly government. Don't fancy a meal outdoors in the pouring rain in November.

I’m genuinely struggling to understand what you are saying now. On the one hand you’re saying live music is back in Ireland and on the other that you have “an out” to go to another country see live music. Which is it? If it’s back in this country there is no need to go elsewhere surely? The fact is you’ve made yet ANOTHER stupid comment that your ego now won’t let you back down from.

Your just doing subtraction

x-y =

100-40 = 60

Thats percentage change, they use percentage difference which would be 85% in this case

bear1

We've some government.

They have a crowd that projected thousands and thousands of cases per week if we reopened. It didn't happen.

We've quite a lot of the nation fully vaccinated yet they are suggesting next spring as the timeframe for removing the masks mandate indoors and scrapping social distancing? **** off.

Looks like you can forget about how high our vacination rate is....the race to engender more fear is well and truly on.....https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/2021/0819/1241644-coronavirus-vaccine-delta/

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117774592#Comment_117774592

In no world is the difference between 100 and 40 85%.

Percentage difference calculation

= ((x2-x1)/x1)*100

x1 = 100

x2 = 40

((40-100)/100)*100

= -60%

You are a strange fella, you will nitpick everything to deny we have restrictions in Ireland yet call them a joke and you can just go to the North.

You try nitpick everything to defend restrictions and nphet and have spent the last 18 months calling everyone a conspiracy theorist.

Yet you brag about going to the North unvaccinated, going to a concert without having to take any tests and hugging everyone, coming back to Ireland and potentially infecting people.

Tony would have cardiac arrest if he heard what you are doing, you ignore Nphet advice yet come on here and constantly defend them.

You must have a split personality or something because you are all over the place.

Why arnt they happening here, you don't seem to care that businesses and people's lives are getting destroyed

If its ok there, why not here?

The Govt have failed an awful lot of people

yourdeadwright

I'm getting married next May , Currently 50 allowed but id love to have 105 people at it but at this rate i really can't see any more restriction being lifted till probably next April

Which would only leave a month to let the extra 50 know , its all so frustrating ,

Surely at this stage for wedding if your all vaccinated you should be able to just go ahead and enjoy yourself ,

I see we're still arguing that Ireland isn't restricted

I can't see anyone arguing that tbh. Although in fairness, in this thread, two plus two can be eleven or three, depending on your point of view.
