Well my mother in law was, thinks the government are a shower of bastard's for what they've done to them.
Look at all the posters that haven't visited their parents or brought the grankids over, won't let them hug them etc. It's wrong on so many levels. Were not protecting them were terrorising them.

Living In fear, Granny crying herself to sleep, terrorising people (that's a new one). Get a grip of yourself, you're hysterical and it's the likes of you that are the only ones trying to scare people.

I see that our minister for health has said at a FF parliamentary party meeting that it’s the opposition and media that are confusing the message. That’s a bad sign if true to blame the media. The media are just turning on the camera and covering your words live. The media can’t be held responsible if the government rabbit on and talk about trampolines amongst other things.

Trump like stuff. Blame everyone else for your incompetence. He's way over his head.

There's going to be an Exodus from dublin this weekend, there's 60,000 odd dubs making a dash to holiday homes...

Were you talking to each one of the 60,000 individually? Or did they all give you a text to let you know?

Looking like NPHET might make the recommendation tomorrow with a decision on Friday.

However it's been suggested in future it could take five days for a decision to be made. Which seems bizarre considering the time sensitive nature of the needed response to the pandemic as it unfolds.

But, I don't understand.

For example, if the decision is made on Friday and the bars/restaurants/museums are open and say I travel to Dublin (I have to go up to the city to do something, pay someone and meet a friend) how can they cease trading on a Friday and does that mean I can't leave the county?

I said it a few months back that we'll end up looking worse than Boris' handling of the whole thing and we pretty much have, in spades!

At this rate, Donald will be looking over his shoulder

So full lockdown, hundreds of thousands out of work, who is going to pay for your granny in a nursing home if she needs to go or if she needs to go to the hospital. Health services need a healthy economy would you not agree.

What sort of economy do you think will be left without any preventive measures? Or health service for that matter?

I never said no preventative measures, my question to you is what kind of health service is left with any economy. Im just saying there needs to be a balance.

B*llox! No one is using words like that except you and a few others of the same mindset.

Jack Lambert calling for people to be done for manslaughter today....if you think this all has no effect on the elderly your living in a bubble, I didn't lie when I said my mother in law was crying. Wake up and see the damage that's being done to the elderly.

We're grandparents and were cocooning. We have struggled with the restrictions, particularly with regard to seeing our kids and grandkids. But, get a grip . We're not crying ourselves to sleep at night. We appreciate the government, health authorities and bulk of the public are doing their best to suppress the virus and we are willing to do what we must to help too. We're far from being terrorised.

And you are doing exactly the same thing now and also previously when you attacked posters who didn`t agree with your blinkered "facts" and have alo accued other and were also previously told by a mod to quit your hyperbole and you now have the brass neck to accuse me of being aggressive. Wake up and smell the coffee and get off your high horse pal.

Stop posting about people having their heads in the sand just because they their challenge your views.

Simple. We didn't •need• to do it before. We didn't have a very serious and very infectious virus circulating in a widespread manner without a vaccine. Never happened in our lifetimes.

Not a virus but TB wasn't a bed of roses here or still today abroad. HIV isn't great either, neither is polio or malaria/dengue/zika/ebola in other countries or even the rise of EV D68 recently etc etc:(


I know a lot of them are beatable nowadays but I presume you mean Ireland?:)

Your a grandparent and your on boards, I doubt many are, your probably on the Skype calls and zoom to your grandkids, the vast vast majority of grandparents are not as technical as you.
