A lot of people welcome stricter rules.

This threat is just an echo chamber.

Oh, because the other lockdowns didn't work, you think it would if we had one now? I don't follow your logic. Sorry.

Republic of Ireland is a failed state. were not fit to rule ourselves, we didnt even make it to 100 years in existence without imploding, get me back under British rule quick. Im now a Unionist.

"Lockdown in all but name" - how so?

Basically just another person who doesn't believe there's any restrictions because they don't see themselves as directly impacted

Everyone who went off and got tested without any good reason to do so can take a bow tonight. Anyone getting tested without good reason is feeding numbers fodder to this monster machine which in turn shíts out restrictions and lockdowns on top of everyone.

If you feel like crap just stay away from people - you don't need a fookin' positive PCR test result unless you're in direct contact with the vulnerable.

Talk about cutting a stick to beat yourself with... 🙄

You're as bad as the politicians blaming the unvaccinated.

Me? That has nothing to do with what was asked and you also know nothing about me. I'm trying to figure out how they think that these restrictions are a lockdown in all but name

And then right back at square one a few weeks after you reopen. The only way out of this is through it. Haven't people realised yet that lockdowns are just kicking the can? Maybe that made slight sense when it was thought the vaccines would stop it, but not anymore.

Nightclubs gone

table service in pubs

restaurants not able to take multiple party bookings

covid pass for gym

reduction on indoor events

limit on family allowed in home

plus more….

but if the restrictions don’t affect you surely you won’t see it that way, but people are vaccinated will no doubt be scared by tonight’s announcement and will now cancel bookings for dinner, shows, won’t want to see family thanks to this “variant”

You had a relatively restrictive free Summer didn’t you? And zero restrictions the last few months? You’d swear you’d been locked in the Joy with such moaning.

Well if you cripple a business capacity to seat or serve customers, when their business is solely based around that whole fuckin premise, then yes - you have essentially put those businesses in a lockdown because the cash flow is not there. But hey, at least the schools can stay open right?

Quags

Not to mention people who have now lost a job in the run up to Christmas thanks to these restrictions

WHO reccomend today the world not to panic about new variant - what does Ireland and NPET do the very same day - Pathetic

Y'see your list up there ^^^ yeah? Not a lockdown.

I disagree with your use of lockdown, but I also agree with you that people can be in a personal lockdown if that makes sense. Thanks for answering

You know some people actually work and stuff, and can't just not go in to work for days on end without getting a test just to satisfy some fantasists on the internet who have an obsession about testing.

Jobs lost and sectors decimated - just be thankful it’s not a “””lockdown “”” yeah?

Zero restrictions the last few months?! C'mon! Have you been living in a different country? Restrictions were supposed to be lifted on the 22nd of October (except for facemasks) and even that didn't happen.

Why would sinecured civil servants care about such a thing?

No. Nice try though.

I can’t believe there’s anyone left who would stay away from family at this stage. The oldies have fresh boosters, and omicron hasn’t taken hold yet, so in fact there won’t ever be a better time to get together.

This is exactly the point - it’s not a lockdown to you because it doesn’t affect you. It does however affect quite a few other people who are now out of work because Philip fuckin Nolan looked in to his fisher price crystal ball and Tony H came screaming to the government about it.

Both of them need to go now - the government for the spineless and shambolic “leadership” they have shown this year and NPHET, who are well past their sell by date.
