    Is it the purple tie? You seem to like the colour purple.

    2020 and we're still putting the church on a pedestal, even in the midst of a pandemic.

    Wonder why the extra 30 mins added to pub opening times. Anyway, that wasn't as bad as predicted.

    Nothing on the inspection of meat factories, or the living and travelling arrangements of the workers.

    Granny and Grandad can't use the Free Travel.

    Can't watch a match outdoors, can't use public transport. Can't gather with more than 6 people indoors.

    What have I missed.

    absolute wrong press conference to be getting snippy with reporters. looks so bad.

    Kind of amazing that the politician got flustered answering the question and had to turn the CMO to bail him out.

    They're considering with the AG to give extra powers to the Gardai for private houses.

    So Gardai dont have the powers nor will they any time soon.

    Next week It'll be described "legally difficult" probably which it is

    The Taoiseach only said that older people should reduce public transport usage, didn’t say anything about the general public.


    Transport providers say essential journeys only though.

    I think I know the answer to this, but I'm more asking to make a point over the lack of clarity in the language being used.

    MM said in the press conference, home events to be limited to "6 visitors from outside the home" (exact quote). That language means 6 people could come over to my house and visit myself and fiance.

    However the written restriction makes it seem that it is 6 people from max 3 households only. This would mean that only 4 people (from max 2 households) could visit us for us to remain within the guidelines.

    Which is it?!

    Does the sign language guy communicate stuttering?

    I'd hate to think deaf people are being spared the embarrassment.
