    Wait did you not spend the last week or so declaring the lockdown was over and things were going back to normal regardless of rules?


    Hell that was the line a lot of the "economists" here were spouting.

    Open your curtains fully tomorrow and take a look out and how much of a lock down there is?
    Matter of weeks now.

    So if thats true then why so much tears over there being a lockdown/economy in ruins. Ye are totally contradicting yourselves at this stage its tragic. Get it together!

    Which is it. Is everyone ignoring restrictions and back to normal or is the lockdown still in effect?

    If the lockdown is void why so much whinge over a finished lockdown?


    Do ye even know what ye are upset about by now?

    The stupidity of the majority of Irish population.

    I would say the Irish population have done a pretty decent job so far of what they have been asked to do. The proof is in the numbers.

    Of course there will be an increase - however we have significantly reduced the risk of our health system becoming overwhelmed.

    It must be a terrible life to live having that sort of negative outlook towards your fellow country folk.

    Looking down on Irish people seems weirdly common on this forum

    Businesses can’t fully function because they’re closed or severely restricted- there was over a million people to last week depending on social welfare as evidence.
    You’re being deliberately obtuse for no real reason which is why I haven’t bothered engaging with you as it’s Luke going around circles. Much like trying to get reason or logic out of Nphet

    It’s actually really disturbing how many Irish people seem to be enjoying lockdown just because it prevents other people from doing things they enjoy.

    I’ve seen people that don’t even drink almost celebrating the fact that pubs are closed. People with no desire to travel saying that air travel should be cancelled for years. One miserable poster suggesting that young people shouldn’t be having sex until a vaccine is found. Criticising people who order takeaways. Criticising people who enjoy sport such as horse racing/gambling. Criticising businesses for wanting to reopen.

    It’s really pathetic to have that much hate inside you. If you really don’t like something, just don’t do it.

    Yeah this is the sad reality of the situation and those same people will use people potentially breaking the lockdown rules or easing the restrictions themselves as an excuse to attack those people and spread their negativity.

    It's kind of sad really because they are living such a miserable life that they get enjoyment of out seeing other people as miserable as they are.

    Yes it’s sad. It’s like as if “you can have as pathetic and vacant a life as I lead”.

    Non essential chicken nuggets...do these not realise how many vulnerable they’re risking?
    Someone should bring them into an icu to make them change their reckless ways

    I don't think I've ever read such ridiculous, half-assed, shoot-from-the-hip, barstool psychology nonsense in my life.

    Oh was only saying the exact same thing the other day to someone. It in a nutshell. Punishment complex is hard wired, and most important that others are punished equally if not more.
    When I was Primary school there was always a few pain in the holes that told the teacher everything...( always girls I’m sorry to say). Their grown up equivalents are now on social media at the exact same thing

    Anyone who thinks anyone's celebrating anything about this mess needs their head examined. Does it really make you feel better about it to demonise people whose assessment differs from yours? How pathetic.

    Plus telling us our grandparents had to go war and we only have to sit on our arses and watch Netflix...

    In a months time (or sooner hopefully) when we have to go back to work I don't expect the same stiffer upper lip.

    What's pathetic is saying people should be forced to go years without going to the pub, traveling or having sex but I guess the sense of begrudgery is enough for you.
