    Latest news :

    BOARDS.IE HAS GONE FULL FACEBOOK

    No. You made a valid point and you made it well.
    Then people tried to shout you down.

    Don't give in to these hysterical toilet-roll hoarders.

    The Minister for Health has just called out these gob****es. He's no hysterical toilet-roll hoarder. These people are ignoring the HSE guidelines and are putting other people's health at risk.

    Idiotic comment. Do you think they're locking down events in lots of countries at great expense for nothing? Cop on.

    I believe it is a valid point. there is stupidity on display from those packing the pubs. but equal hysteria on display from posters on here.

    That is all I am saying

    Think he's being quite clear that's exactly what will happen if people dont cop on to themselves.

    This is nonsense. The government needs to act by way of law and decrees, not by moral pressure.

    Every single person in that clip is an absolute gobshlte. Embarrassing.

    Simon Haris has just been critical of the pub video.

    Has he forgotten he's in charge and force the pubs to close. Idiot.

    How dare he give people the choice of not going and doing what's in the best interest of all. Pure cheek.

    You seem to know better than the experts.

    Typical Irish attitude.

    I'm right and everyone else is wrong.

    Along with our government not closing airports and ports, but hey, single market, free movement of people, eh Simon Harris ? Close pubs but stop not flights from infected areas. Berlin and Brussels must come first

    Judging from walking around Dublin CC and a few other areas, the vast majority are not taking the Gov health advice / social distancing policy seriously. Most bars / pubs / food places looked fairly busy, not Saturday evening busy but still busy. Only quiet / shut places were the fine dining types - probably as can afford to shut the doors for a couple of weeks.

    Pubs / bars specifically and any other business that attracts large crowds need to be shut IMO and food places should be allowed to remain but for collection / delivery only. Keep the supermarkets, corner shops and pharmacies open obviously.

    Boarders is a tough one, I think a total, outright closure would come with backlash, but something like Denmarks policy (only allowing in Irish citizens, residents, or other limited / strict conditions) should be adopted asap.

    I work in a food place and can confirm it's still busy. Our sales are only down about 5%.


    We have sick people coming in, coughing right at us, not covering their mouths. We've removed half of our seating to maintain social distancing, so they rearrange the remaining furniture to sit in groups :eek:

    I've resorted to wearing masks in work because they refuse to close because sales are still high.

    Going by that tweet, it's likely pubs etc will be forced to close early next week.

    Partially agree with you but people aren’t taking it seriously enough imo, so cheering about recoveries will only make that worse.

    I see where you're coming from, but giving people a bit of hope (not cheering) would surely not go astray at this point??

    It’s crazy the people who want civil liberty to be abandoned and want the state to step in to police the streets, shut down public gatherings etc.

    Yes.
    Deaths is in the column on the left hand side


    And yes peoples lives do matter. This was in response to Boucher-Hayes scaremongering without any evidence ti back it up and then saying young people had died in Italy.

    The evidence says not

    This is the same government that didn’t stop the flights from Italy a couple of weeks ago. They have zero credibility.

    I'm pointing out the ridiculousness of Simon Harris' tweet. If he's opposed to pubs being full, then he should refrain from tweeting about it for likes and actually enact laws to change it.

    So what your saying is that infact the cabinet are in charge and not a single individual whose responsibility is nothing to do with business?

    Too many people are too fùcking stupid to be let loose.

    I’ve developed a pain on a troublesome tooth I got repaired last month.
    I hope to ring the dentist on Monday to see if I can get an appointment.

    Can’t imagine many dentists wanting patients ??
    I assume such close proximity to dentist and patient a risk to both sides ?
    Friend in NL was infected by her dentist. She had her wisdom tooth removed.

    That's how the Chinese beat this.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 140 ✭✭Shoes and Boots


    I think with quality of healthcare in Ireland we will overtake China digits easily ! Also many mans in Ireland does not care about cough or fever and never give up coming to work everyday.Many does not care about any virus at all because mortgage and bills has to be paid.

    They just gave him a reason to shut down the whole country, and he's dead right in what he said. Insult to all those workers who have to leave their loved ones to stand at the coal face of this virus.

    Possible that some of them won't come back, some of them will bring the very thing they are fighting back into their homes.

    I am angry at the people who cannot seem to wrap their heads around the seriousness of this, yes it was a slow approach but a lot of people here saw this coming after Christmas.

    I am angry because of the people I love with all my heart who might not make it with their lives and those who will but will end up forever changed emotionally and mentally.

    People taking the piss and not taking any precautions gives a two fingers to everyone who is doing their best to get us all through this and out the other side.
