There are seriously violent convicted criminals in jails around this island at the moment, and they have more freedom than us. House arrest must be removed this weekend.

Because reading comments here about lifting restrictions is like people running to the enemy with your arms open to Covid 19. We are at War against invisible enemy so far 20,612 casualties and 1,232 deaths in two months. In the last number of weeks we have brought up the heavy artillery (Restrictions) and its working. So why would you lift restrictions for the enemy to regroup and counter attack.

He said that there was a time limit on how long the current high level of garda monitoring could continue. "We can't keep going at this operational tempo, which began around the 16th of March, indefinitely, or indeed, for very much longer," he said.

The only beneficiaries will be those that blindly followed the advice of so called "experts" and who can now repair some of the psychological and physical damage they have needlessly done to themselves over the last five weeks.

He got his very clear message across in a clear calm manner, he didn’t engage in any point scoring, just told it how it is. Very very sobering. He asked - which event in the early part of the last century did more damage? The Spanish flu? Or the Great Depression a decade later? I wish to God that there were more voices like O’Brien’s in Leo’s ear. It was interesting to hear Ivan also say that he feels like a lone voice out there among his media colleagues. He is completely shut down and vilified by most of his own media peers when he challenges the status quo. Meanwhile over on RTE’s Prime Time, FG had sent in some nobody from their backbenches. Utterly pointless, they may as well have sent in an empty suit. Nothing to say other than spout rehearsed cliches. It’s absolutely infuriating. And nobody on RTE challenges it. They can sing for their licence fee

He left many employees in the lurch and circumvented the laws of the land by declaring bankruptcy in the UK. Through all of this he has been able to live high on the hog with a state pension north of 70k. He is a hypocrite and an ignorant bluffer of a presenter.

Numerous Ministers pressed for restrictions on those over 70 to be eased. Dr Holohan said it was up to Government to make decisions, with Ministers privately acknowledging they may have to diverge from medical advice at some point.
