Back to topic of the Govt

Big calls and action needed, testing and capacity well below what's required in months to come, budget and plenty more regarding Brexit etc

Track record to date has me very worried. Made a balls of pretty much everything since.

Seem to be managing a difficult and changing situation well IMO. What would you like them to do?

Testing and Tracing for our airports, proper financial supports for citizens out of work due to restrictions, proper testing and tracing which has been said from day 1 is needed which we have not met any targets they claimed they would get.

The publics opinion is what matters most and fact matter is the majority of the country have lost faith

I'd also stop throwing out ideas like paying influencers (many who spent time in Ibiza etc over summer) 20,000 to give advice to too youngsters

Disagree that public opinion is a relevant factor at all. Expert medical opinion should be the only factor. Not sure if the money is there for financial supports for those out of work but then again they came up with 80 billion to bail out the banks - though then again it was no fun paying it back. Not sure the airport regime and more testing will get markedly better results. The nightmare scenario is that maybe craxy Trump was right in the first place and a herd immunity solution is what we will end up with

Well explain what you thought when the Govt went against medical advice on opening pubs and how it took them 1 week from getting medical advice to close Dublin to actually going it

A perfect example of the dangers of public opinion. They should have ignored all the morons calling on them to open the pubs and simply followed the medical advice

As per the rules I went on the drink with 2 of my friends. Are we not meant to be following advice by the Govt? I done exactly that

Your having a go at me following advice hahaha

He's not in Dublin Brenner, (theres a massive hint in his username)

Wouldn't be fussed on hitting the pub myself, I'm more of a "highstool man" than a sit at a table kind of man myself, so I'll probably wait until they're open-open but that's me personally.

In dundalks case however, the government seem to think it's ok to go out and have a cold one with mates so long as you follow the guidelines they set out, surely you yourself would have no beef with that, surely not bren?

You did not follow the medical advice.

On Monday I went to the pub with my friends in my hometown Dundalk, had a great day/evening, ordered a Pizza at 9pm collected it on my walk home and ate it before going to bed..

I followed Government Advice, as per the rules man. If the Government had of advised not to do what I did, I wouldn't have gone out.

It was other posters who are saying agovt are making good decisions. I only questioned what they thought of the Govt going against Medical advice but you seen it as an opportunity to talk about me following the rules.

Doing the same tomorrow for the Dundalk FC match in the Europa League as I expect the advice to change next week. Louth will prob join Dublin at 3.67 on the 1-5 plan

you're probably reasonably safe once you stuck to your own table and your own friends which you did
That's the sad thing about where we are right now though
Sooner theres a vaccine the better
The nphat guys got a fair roasting tonight about there being no mass in Dublin and rightly so
Yet 400 can be in the nec in killarney at the weekend dancing and singing to Gina and the champions :eek:
Wonder what the Healy rae party has to say about that

I see she raised it and he deflected about SF having money from the U S.
Awful representation for the public.
If you're a low paid worker you got no debate just ****ey digs....MM must be a boardsie.

To help with the last surge in demand, they suspended testing on meatplants for a period. That went well

To show what a **** show the Govt are running that they can't get these people housed in Dublin since every hotel is near empty

James Brown · 23-09-2020 10:55PM

Other cities (abroad) are housing Covid positive people who have nowhere to self isolate up in specially set up hotels and the like. Surely there's a few FF/FG henchmen with slobbering chops at the very idea? Surprised if it's not been floated.
Hotels get money, people get well, spread is lessened.

Northern Ireland has a population one-third the size of Ireland. The rising problem in Ireland is in the border counties of Louth and Donegal.

The Six Occupied Counties are in IRELAND.

There is no such thing as "Ireland and Northern Ireland" and to suggest otherwise is seditious and treasonous.

It doesn't really show anything it's a single tweet from a person who is invested in the industry.

No facts or context behind it but you decided to use it to have a dig at government and take it at face value.

Can you provide more information as to why they had to ferry people against advice between counties?

Nobotty · 23-09-2020 11:18PM

housing people would be essential work anyway lads so no restrictions broken
A bit strange alright that they could get nowhere suitable in the city
Hopefully it was somewhere warm and safe and that the busses were socially distanced
I'll say a prayer for them

Mary-Lou would want to stop bleating about the minimum wage down here and look at the disgracefully low social welfare payments her party oversees up North and means that people can't stay at home when sick during the pandemic.

The SF/DUP government is putting the whole island at risk. They can't seem to make any decisions. When they do, they are a week behind the rest of the island. Incompetent fools.

Gone Missing since this
