    He doesn't does he? I didn't like that snide "I'm not a public health expert...perhaps no more than your good self" from him there. Getting snippy because they're pointing out the ridiculous flaws in his plan.

    I wouldn't say flaws in his plan. He just isn't very good at presenting stuff.

    Why is Eamonn Ryan even there.

    To remind people that climate change is still happening?

    He’s in detention for falling asleep a few weeks ago in class.

    Where has it worked well ? I go during the designated time and everyone else is also allowed in too ?

    Well I can only speak for Waterford and Lidl on the Tramore road specifically but people seem to be cognisant of the message (as put out by Lidl themselves) and so don't go in. I've not seen any "family" units kids running about etc in a while now. Their hours are 9 - 11 am.

    The fecking sound is abysmal again.

    An under 14 game of hurling with 30-40 people attending outdoor is more of a risk than a wedding, funeral and mass.

    WOW.
    Not at the match, after the match is where the risk lies.

    They set up a microphone for Leo but he couldn't make it.
    Eamonn was doing a crossword and had a few minutes to spare

    Leo was halfway through “the Lindsey Lohan teen movie boxset” and threw a tantrum when asked to do the press conference

    “Loike.....that’s SO UNFAIR....you’re not the boss of me dude”

    Just back from a trip to Rome. Great atmosphere, everyone enjoying the lovely weather, great restaurants and bars.

    Everything operating normally including all the museums and historic buildings/ monuments (with good adherence to sensible Covid 19 restrictions everywhere).

    Lower instances of Covid than here, though they had it very tough earlier in the year.

    Seems we have become a bit overwrought. Time for calm thinking and a longer term strategy that doesn’t shift each fortnight.

    Donnelly announced over 2 weeks ago that randomised testing at airports would be introduced, so whats happened to that process?

    I think they should bus the school children into the meat plants for a sporting event and marry them all off to each other.

    Do you think a group of cub scouts going on a hike is a sporting event or a public gathering?

    Just hop on a Ryanair flight with 188 other people and ask the pilot to circle the GAA pitch so people can spectate safely...! :D

    Mass testing of meat factories is what's happened.

    Because no one from FG would go and MM has to make it appear that the cabinet is united in this

    They also got a bailout to the tune of 80 billion. MM went to Brussels and brought us back an extra EU budget bill of 2 billion a year
