In other words let’s keep the gravy train going. All these Advisory Group etc mean one thing for this lot- more €€€s. We’ve had far too unbalanced influence in running the past 3 months- equal input from business and work groups are needed for anything like this in the future. You know, the ones who pay these lots wages.

I could be wrong, but no matter what happens the HSE/Nphet will still get paid even if Covid disappeared overnight?

Tony was just handed some water from another person.....i wonder did they wipe down the cups. No gloves on them either. I thought this virus was all around us and is deadly....

Well spotted. Stick that up on social media if you can

does anyone know if there is any places selling takeaway pints in city centre with an area to stand outside/toilets?
thought i heard of a few places selling cocktails where you could stand outside. Obviously if no toilets be difficult to have few drinks.

You have to consume any takeaway drink bought from premises at least 100m from them so I can't see how. I don't know why that is the rule but bar owners I know who wanted to do it (sell take out pints) were given that advice from gardai.

Yep, all they think of is money, they are not seeking to use their expertise to give advice in their area of expertise using the information available to them in good faith

A bit more detail on your post might be useful!

Macedonian Govt. reopened restaurants in late May, turned a blind eye to mass gatherings during the recent previous holidays of Orthodox Easter and Ramadan, Health Minister Venko Filipče avoided taking direct responsibility.

Oh you got them now. Everything they ever said is invalid due to one cup of water where no one watching even knows the provenance of

Ginger n Lemon · 08-06-2020 07:00PM

Lol 9 new cases today.

What do pro lockdown people do? post macedonian 2nd lockdown tweets that occured as result of large mass gatherings.

How are we still closed with 9 new cases?

Arghus! Finally new cases in single digits, please give Tony cause for concern a bell and tell him to open up. :pac:

Couldn't care less about your local butcher, saying what I saw in a large shop in Dublin today when it was the first day that it was actually busy with more people in offices also.

We all see plenty of things, people obeying it and not obeying it. In what I've seen it's more of the not obeying it.

No matter how much people want to think there's large compliance there really isn't.

100%. In Dublin 15 anyways. 100% no compliance I mean. We are just terrible, Dublin north so to speak.

Saw 3 teenagers the other day on 1 bike. Its like we are coming up with creative ways to stick 2 fingers to Simon Harris.

I never said that but it does highlight the nonsensical hysteria of the past 3 months. According to what they’ve been force-feeding us being handed a drink like this would be a complete no no...but here we have Tony publicly not bothered. I knew the whole thing was a farce but unlike him I haven’t been on tv every night pretending otherwise

Could not agree more - our kids are not allowed to pass a ball to each other outdoors, others sports being told to disinfect all balls etc. Where is the science to prove any danger in any of this? The epidemic we need to worry about is obesity and the legacy we are leaving our children with a fear to play and go outside and take part in sport. The GAA need to make a stand for our young people and not close off our pitches - lunacy!!

Observations on social distancing and why I think it will be gone entirely very soon;

Businesses implementing elaborate temporary structures to enable social distancing hopefully aren't spending too much money as I just don't see how it would be practicable to operate this way if they are busy. Service would be painfully slow to the point where income won't be earned to cover costs. Quarantining clothes and shoes being tried on for a few days also isn't viable.

Drunk people won't care about social distancing in pubs and bars.

Public transport isn't sustainable with social distancing unless somehow capacity could be doubled, which it obviously can't. Add in schools and rush hour commuters returning in the autumn and it just won't work.

Children and teens don't seem to be able to social distance generally and can't be forced.

Sports like GAA, football and rugby obviously don't work with social distancing.

Sex; you can hardly tell people not to have sex and start new physical relationships with others.

Nothing stopping you and anyone else in your brigade from contacting the authorities to do that if that's what you genuinely want to happen but no the easy option is to be a keyboard warrior and pass on all responsibility to others as per usual.

Closing the pub was demanded by large numbers of citizens after people watched reports of people partying in Temple Bar, fuelled by the Imperial college mathematical models predicting 10's of thousands of deaths, and the reports from Northern Italy.

When Northern Italy didn't happen, people held massive house parties fuelled by cheap cheap booze and good weather.

Any large groups I see tend to be Teens who disregard any physical distancing, however i've not seen a massive number of them becoming infected or dying.

The GAA have themselves decided not to reopen their grounds other than walkways for several more weeks even though under the new regulations they would have been allowed small groups to resume training from today. Not because the "big bad government " are forcing them to remain shut.

It was all about reducing the opportunities for infection by at least 70%. That’s it. Nobody could have 100% compliance at all times. But if 90% of people complied 90% of the time we would suppress the virus. And that’s what happened. Now if we told people we needed 90% compliance we would have been lucky to get 50%

Nice to see the playgrounds still closed today after the completely moronic comments to come out of the Dublin Council over the weekend.

As cleverly set up by Leo. He knew they're not supervised and couldn't open.

Yes I am very aware of the fact that these restrictions are self imposed by the GAA and I cannot understand why when other sports are bending over backwards to bring some activity to their members - they can only offer a stroll around the field? Why can they not start on fitness training in small groups - no contact needed!

I was wondering the same thing myself. I suppose it could be a factor in the unusually high rate of Covid cases in Dublin compared to the rest of the country even taking the population difference into account.

I heard Simon waffling on the radio earlier. They are looking at that if there’s an outbreak somewhere in the country impose restrictions just in that area rather than the whole country.

I heard Tony on the news giving out about the lack of masks in Dunnes. After 3 months telling us they are not effective. You could not make this stuff up.
