If that is true, then it's obviously not a secret leaked document. --- I would like to hear what the plan is as well - but some people seem to think the government is somehow negotiating with the virus, and doing a bad job of it. They can't just lift everything at once because people are tired. So far we haven't really had a day where there was a really low number of cases. Not really expecting anything to change on May 5th. If they changed the 2km limit that would be nice, but I'm not sure how much impact that would have.

Yesterday he asked why hospitals are empty and operations for NON Covid illnesses are not being done. The Galway Clinic is completely empty as we speak, not one patient, all operations cancelled, even urgent ones. He's dead right asking these questions. People will die from OTHER illnesses while we live in fear from Covid. Crazy stuff. :mad:

We badly need optimism and a light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. We were told a few weeks ago "5th May" "big effort to the 5th May" "Let's do it, 5th May". If they say, come Friday that they're extending it further again without any sort of lifting it will be terrible. I think when this is all done and dusted there will be serious mismanagement discovered, especially regarding the nursing homes.

Leo sitting waiting on Taoiseach Tony to decide what’s going to happen. Tony trying to cover his own trail after messing up regarding nursing homes. Simon Harris becomes more meaningless with every passing day. Checkpoints seen for Easter disappeared for two weeks and then suddenly appear for Bank holiday weekend Testing criteria changing like the weather. Ramp up testing ramp up testing the mantra for weeks - Unachievable targets set. The whole thing is a complete mess and getting more ridiculous. The list is endless with nobody accountable for anything. It’s a shame to see how shambolic the handling of this is.
