Powerful stuff from an Taoiseach

I’ve been critical but I have to give it to him, he’s more in control now

He's making the position his own.

Leadership.

Why can’t they just give us facts.
Simple facts and rules and not repeated rhetoric because of their desire to be on camera.

So that's 6 people inside and outside? Is that 6 in addition to household or total?

Wheels have come off the response. We were plodding along grand and then state departments didn't bother their holes doing their job and some of the public got wreckless.

Need to learn from this and go back a couple of phases for a month ffs.

"Continue to work from home where possible" is a bit vague for places that have already brought people back full time, no? No idea how my place will interpret that.

Your office needs to re-close and resume work from home unless the activity cannot be performed from home and is "absolutely necessary".

He looked at it as his only chance to be Taoiseach realistically there was no other chance of him being Taoiseach (totally self-serving and a total joke)

MM much more polished and in control now. I feel like I judged him too harshly too early. Now more statesmanlike

Wrong people getting punished .. not one mention of meat plants all about socialising when a lot of the current cases materialised in factories.

Meat plants can and should be controlled. Socialising is harder to get a handle on.

Two people each from three separate households need to rent a separate property to congregate.

If more than six people currently live in a house the additional members need to move out.

Exercise Individual Judgement.

Well **** that anyway. It's pretty clear that 99% of people are exercising individual judgement very well but the 1% have been acting the bollix and we need to force them into line.

Mr rebel · 18-08-2020 06:14PM

Virgin Media News with their dodgy ticker again;
“Public transport should be avoided”
The Taoiseach only said that older people should reduce public transport usage, didn’t say anything about the general public.

BorneTobyWilde · 18-08-2020 06:14PM

Seems all these new measures are ''all talk'' I see nothing new

Nothing has been announced that will effect the spread that is going on, nothing.

Use public transport only if you need?????? Does he really believe people have nothing better to do that jot ride around on public transport?????????
WTF

All those joy rider !! You're banned, if you want, up to you really.
