Surprised Leo didn't go for a leak before the decisions were taken.

Anyhow we are where we are.

A few weeks of discipline should enable us to move to level 4 on December 1st, fingers crossed.

I live in a single adult household. Sounds like I can have a bubble with someone anywhere I like. How are they going to verify that?

Donnelly hasn't a clue what they're going to do after the 6 weeks. Vague waffle about targeted responses (didn't we have that already with the county-specific lockdowns)

Legislation for fines to be brought to Cabinet tomorrow though. They've figured that out anyway!

Dempo1 · 19-10-2020 09:59PM

Eamonn Ryan wants us to consider click and collect, how the F@€k does he propose we do this with a 5km travel restriction? Perhaps he thinks people can order, Pay perhaps and hope the business is still open in 6 weeks to collect. What a complete muppet.

_Kaiser_ · 19-10-2020 10:00PM

McConkey can't keep the smile off his face!

19-10-2020 10:00PM

Pain in me hole being asked to get behind this. Now stevo is bringing in his applications for fines eh...clown..get on board so they can sit on their hands. He has that banker type sociopath cut off him in his suit. No deaths today...from one smiling crocodile to another...croc mconkey.

C__MC · 19-10-2020 10:00PM

Mc conkey wants level 50

The narrative now on the various social media platforms seems to be becoming one where if you contract Covid, then it is because you did something wrong. It has become a sin of sorts.

This is not going to die down just because of the restrictions. The morally pure and virtuous are going hell for leather on this narrative.

If cases do not reduce, or if the restrictions are increased into the Christmas period, then things are going to get real ugly as people scramble for someone to blame.

The responsibility for this hysteria should be laid squarely at the feet of the Irish media and its hyperdramatic reporting over the last few months.
You could actually hear the glee in the voices of the Drivetime presenters this evening.

McConkey is on the verge of an orgasmic explosion

His smile can be seen from Mars

Now another doctor who says herself she bought into fear...

She also says we all know someone who's had it.

I don't, and out of my circle of friends there's only 1 who does - a tenant of his.

Thats only because unlike claire and rainbow ryan, you sociial circle does not meet on the slopes of italy eh..

_Kaiser_ · 19-10-2020 10:09PM

I have to turn this off. Claire sitting there having a chat on her cushy wage and taxpayer-funded job, McConkey sitting smug, and the rest specifically chosen it seems to spin the same message of "save Christmas", "do the right thing".

It's grand.. not that big deal is the whole subtext

Disgusted.

walus · 19-10-2020 10:09PM

Will they bring in someone on this show who holds contrarian opinion?

19-10-2020 10:10PM

Claire couldnt even contain her obvious enthusiasm using aliteration...lockdown level 5, this is claire byrne live. The bang of harold shipman of mcdonkey...

You have done nothing but waffle.
I answered your question.My opinion is that immunity is as close to zero as makes little difference.
Where you thought there was herd immunity in that beats me. Other than you perhaps having some believe in acquired herd immunity.
If you do, then give us your figure and how you came to it.
If not then stop acting the eejit asking others the question.

P.S. It would be an idea if you are going to give a figure, and how you calculated it ,to have regard for all the failed large scale research studies that have been proven wrong rather than go wasting peoples time.

0% it is then. Thanks.

I run a business that is deemed unessential according to the government.

I won't be closing, I did the first time but not this time. Can't afford it, simple as.

Been hearing of a few businesses doing the same, fair play to you, enough is enough

Nice to see the gardai leading by example...https://www.rte.ie/news/2020/1019/1172546-garda-public-covid19/

ElektroToad · 19-10-2020 10:14PM

Stupid question, but when does these new measures kick in? Is it tomorrow night / Wednesday morning at midnight?

I think I'm in a state of shock and anger and so my brain isn't working great at the moment

Kaiser, seriously how are you still doing it to yourself?! I am serious here, but RTE, their bull****, their presenters robbing a living, its red flag to a bull to many of us, stop watching it. I have though for years , what a joke it all is. the same idiots, interviewing the same idiot politicians etc, grilling them! its the same debate, with the same people , week in week out, over years! discussing the same failures ad nauseum! Its total insanity! remove yourself from RTE at the very least IMO...

The politicians and RTE are all in bed together. outrageous pay and perks, **** performers, living on another planet. They may make out for optics sake, they are being grilled, but they are scratching each others back with fifty euro notes!

Does the likes of Claire still have audience members? id have no problem if I could get on, asking a question, but it wouldnt be to her panel, it would be directed to her. Ask her if she wasnt on X obscene euro, Id find out the figure, would she be as enthusiastic about lockdown. Bloody hypocrites, theyll be crocodile tears flowing for the "poor" in a year or two when the obscene credit card bill arrives. "but you havent protected the most vulnerable" "the cuts will hit the most vulnerable" coming from the cheerleaders of financial ruin. Total comedy!

I've only know 3 people to of caught it. Two work colleges and one of my aunties. 30 odd of us were tested in work after the two were tested positive and all returned negative including one of the guys brother who also works with us, and lives in the same house and travels in the same car. Baffling if you ask me.

19-10-2020 10:18PM

The doctor saying its hard to wear a mask, she should ask how mcconkey manages to keep that rubber scooby doo looking bad guy mask on full time.....i would have got away with it if it wasnt for that pesky TRUTH. why are they skyping these victims who are taking it very well...put matyie mcgrath on &#55357;&#56832; what sort of doctor are you sam???a witch doctor.

haskellgeek · 19-10-2020 10:20PM

I know 11/12 who have had it and a few more who lived with a confirmed case, I've not been tested nor contacted myself

I’d love a good list of these so I can go in and support them. Which I really want to do. Understand they won’t want to make a hullabaloo with the covid pitch fork mobs

Worse. RTÉ is a self-perpetuating bullsh1t machine.
