It will be like being in school 'eh John your 2 close there', 'sorry guys you cant sit there cause theres 1 person sitting at the bar and you will be too close to them' Could be more hassle than it's worth

And wipe clean surfaces everywhere. Will probably be grim enough for a couple of years tbh. I'm pretty much going off what I saw one publican demonstrate in the newspaper a couple of weeks ago.

By all means should the Government be taking their advice and implementing measures to reduce risk - but waiting for medical experts to make decisions regarding economic health is just the wrong approach. Yet that's what's happening here. Leo and Co are completely unwlling to show any leadership and make any decisions that haven't been laid out for them by others, be it in Ireland or elsewhere. A big part of this is a fear of getting it wrong. A bigger is being held accountable for it.

Ramping up testing and being really well prepared for contact tracing are key to avoid a return to the current restrictions. What we need this Friday is a roadmap on how restrictions will be lifted from the 18th of May all the way to September. Some posters here, especially the trolls anti restriction brigade, are expecting miracles knowing that there is a worldwide shortage of reagent, swabs and necessary equipment.

If people were allowed to continue working, socialising, Ivan would still call it a crisis of vested interests. If government appeared to be focus on political viewpoints at this stage (as in UK and US) Ivan would call it a crisis of unelected officials. I like Ivan, but he can run with the hare and hunt with the hounds as much as anyone given the extensive time he has spent both in politics and in the media.

Competent journalists/presenters don't communicate their personal belief's, they invoke thought and demand justification. Its times like these that poor presenters are so apparent, Joe wash your hands Duffy and Ryan stay at home fools Tubridy are stealing a living. Its so refreshing to hear Yates to question the narrative and field texts accusing him gross irresponsibility to question the actions of Leo, Tony and Simon. Questioning the actions of a man with experience of 18 previous Covid virus takes bravery. It also takes bravery to question a Dr who previously warned an advocate over questions directed at him during a cervical check crisis. These guy have being given a free reign on our future for 2 month's. Unchallenged and unquestioned. Armed detectives have been mobilised to protect areas of natural beauty this weekend. All in the name of a crisis in care homes. So I want to see them questioned, and I want answers
