    Yes, once Kyriakos Mitsotakis reads about your intentions on Boards, they'll add Ireland.

    If they can't even move to phase two without causing a scene, forget about phase four and five.

    Honestly who is running this country?
    That just means we're not telling you cos we've a week to go!

    RTE will milk the South Korea nonsense later. Try and twist the story and make it sound like a second wave is exploding in South Korea.

    Sick and tired of the constant scaremongering. No shame.

    You should be grand by then. This is just the initial list, they always said it would be limited. In July more countries will be added

    Are the restrictions over?
    Based on the re-emergence of Roma begging gangs; one would presume they are.

    In a nearby town, we had the usual early to mid-20's healthy-looking Roma males begging outside shops. With a cigaratte in one hand and sitting with a coffee cup in front of them directly outside shops, one would imagine that the Gardai would move them along, as they break the social distancing rules by confronting shoppers as they enter/leave the shops.

    It's another sign that we are getting back to 'normal' again in Ireland with the Roma professional begging gangs doing what they did before the pandemic.

    I read somewhere that Greece will be reviewing that List frequently.

    It started as 19 Countries, then 20 now 29.

    Thanks for that appreciated.

    Breaking social distancing rules sitting outside a shop? How? I don't imagine anyone would be getting within 2m of them.

    There is already a certain 'ethnic minority' who are out and about and won't be hounded by the Gardai and sent packing back home.

    The Gardai will be nowhere to be seen when they arrive. But they will turn back the well behaved people without fear.

    With me being on the road a lot and due to my work it does feel some sense of normality is around. You wouldn’t think there are restrictions out there lately.

    Every country they've got on that list is ahead of us away so wouldn't worry too much. Once our low numbers continue you'll be grand.

    Looking to see where I can take a week in August myself

    Or is he. What you can’t see on this photo of part of a document is that it’s not from an Irish citizen, a concerned citizen concerned for the economy..it’s Ryanair headed paper, it’s a correspondence from the Ryanair CEO, he is acting and corresponding in that capacity. Every word and utterance is not with the health, wellbeing, happiness and safety of the citizens of this country in mind, it’s with the health and wellbeing of his airline in mind, the ability of them to make money.... he is another who would see no negativity in there being human casualties in order to facilitate this, in fact he is advocating it. Fück him, I’ve travelled Ryanair more then any other airline due to them having great competitive fares but he’s seen the last of my cash... Aer Lingus and whoever else all the way from here on in...

    He's a lying bull****ter. He's holding on to the public money in order to make interest on it, or invest it. His excuses as to why people can't be refunded are nonsense, it can be done within a few days even if you had to write a program suite to do so.

    He only looks out for his own pockets, nobody else.

    Mr Varadkar said that in terms of reducing the two-metre social distancing rule to one metre, it is "too soon for that."

    He said that Covid-19 would need to be suppressed "much more" in the community and the numbers would need to improve for a longer period in order to change the guidance.

    "Two metres is safer than 1.5, and 1.5 is safer than one."

    How much more suppressed does he expect the numbers to get?

    More vagueness like Holohan - as low as possible - with nobody knowing what they mean

    Look end of the day hes been saying for the last few days now that he'll look at it all next week when they meet to discuss phase 2.

    If theres no increase in numbers next week reflecting phase 1 I'd expect him to do what hes said and look to speed things up.

    As much as I want things quickened up I'm happy to wait for the data to come next week on phase 1, personally I dont expect a surge but they have to have the numbers infront of them.

    Everything that Michael o'Leary said about opening up quicker is correct. Not surprised that the ryanair haters are the same posters who chastise those that dare question the government or the pace of easing restrictions.

    Almost sounds as if he’s doing us and them a favor by doing so ! He simply isn’t, he runs an airline, needs staff, hires staff, employs staff. It’s an Irish company, that are based and headquartered here so by logical assumption he would ‘need’ Irish staff.

    Don't be ridiculous and childish labelling anyone who's critical of their excuses with the school level tag of "hater".
