    I know its a minority but some people really don't get it, its a kick in the face to workers, buisness owners, people with cancelled medical appointments and everyone struggling to do their best at present.
    I'm no lover of lockdowns and question the severity of some restrictions and logic of others. But i still respect the virus, keep my contacts down and don't gather in crowded spaces even if outside.

    One inch or one dick. Please clarify.

    Sure he's a langer :)

    You can travel to Ireland from wherever you want and go wherever you want. However, if you reside in Ireland you're restricted to 5km.

    Comedy gold :pac:

    There is a queue of over 6km on the N22 approaching the Garda checkpoint in Cork.

    It’s those who are simply trying to get to work and having a difficult enough time as is I feel sorry for.

    And the same people celebrating the parties claim to support/care for those very people.

    This is the nub of the issue.

    If everyone ( or a large majority of people) did this, then we wouldn't have a fraction of the restrictions we have now.

    Unfortunately, a large minority of people are selfish and think they know better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,354 ✭✭✭copeyhagen


    Pretty sure the videos are fake
    1 Is dated 17th
    1 shows not a single.person wearing a mask, so is probably from years ago
    Last one has a comment under saying town was dead.
    Family member was there last night till 6 and closed shop as Grafton st was dead.
    So at 9pm all the pubs closed and everyone ran over to Grafton st for a popup rave?

    Seems legit. Get the army in now.

    Fair play to the Gardaí for creating huge delays around the country today for people going to essential work and schools.

    Hmmmm.

    Selfish pricks will always be selfish pricks and indeed they have played their part.

    But make no mistake the majority of the blame goes on inept governance bowing to lobby groups and above all else ignoring science.

    The 3 main reasons the virus has reseeded nationally.

    1. Pinky Promise Border Control.

    2. Encouraging the entire island to move around and even offering money to go on staycation.

    3. Not having the balls or foresight to shutter what needs to stay shuttered or limit what needs to be limited, whilst not doing any sort of surveillance on the virus nationally.

    Add to that the absolute dumbfúckery of the HSE and you get where we are this morning.

    I'd be surprised if there is any easing of restrictions before the 14th of December and even more surprised we are not back into stay at home restrictions 6-8 weeks later.

    The roads sound very busy out there. A lot of my friends are saying they are still going to work but only 1-2 days a week.

    You cannot police without consent


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,063 ✭✭✭appledrop


    I can tell you here+ now this Level 5 is not going to work.

    I have a long commute to work + it was actually busier this morning as more trucks on road.

    What do they expect with over 1 million having to travel to school etc.

    Its farcical.

    HSE operations report 21/10

    As of 8pm, 309 confirmed cases in hospitals.
    35 in ICU with 22 of those ventilated
    0 ICU deaths last 24 hours
    35 available beds

    Are there just 70 ICU beds in Ireland?

    Any evidence of huge delays caused by the Gardai so far this morning?

    I am involved in a large transport organisation with over 100 vehicles on the road, and have not heard of any unusual delays so far.

    The rest are being used by non-Covid patients.

    Like almost everybody here is saying, these IDIOTIC restrictions imposed on people by (excuse me...) idiots, conmen, and brainless heartless politicians, or so-called experts, all of them being bribed by wealthy evil controllers.

    All the people, we must realize this scam and hold together and not being pushed and shoved around like we have no rights to even THINK differently. This is Modern slavery folks!!! And it only works because wast majority of the population are afraid and scared to death from nothing more than the seasonal flu :-(

    We had flu every year before and we had to live healthily and boost our immune systems in order to prevent ourselves or heal. And all a sudden it doesn't WORK?!! ...and the only thing that works is the ridiculous lockdown and masks?!! Do you people hear how silly and stupid that really sounds?

    WE are allowing this to HAPPEN by complying and acquiescing...

    And Governments employing SNITCHES??!! Where the hell are we...?

    People please, hold together, what they want is to divide us and demonize people like me and hundreds of thousands of others who see through their lies and agenda.

    In Cork, there’s a 6km queue on the N22. There’s a 6km queue on the N25. It’s taking 40 minutes to get through these checkpoints

    There’s a 2km queue on the N71 but this is easier to avoid.

    Put all their resources targeting people who are doing no harm while failing blatantly to deal with proper crime. A very bad sign for this country, shameful.

    Long tail back on some routes according to RTE news Garda diverting traffic to question drivers. At 8.30/9.00 in the morning it's obvious people ain't heading off on a jolly.

    Christ where to start with this hyperbolic nonsense...modern slavery...lol.
    Covid is not the same as the seasonal flu, that is moronic.
    Where are these government snitches jobs advertised? PAS?
    Your username makes it clear what your agenda is....
    Maybe stick to ranting on facebook


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,298 ✭✭✭prunudo


    They reduce capacity on public transport, implement a wishy washy level 5 lockdown with more exceptions than not and then wonder why the roads are busy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,603 ✭✭✭bennyl10


    people are surprised at check points?

    We had these under level 3? If you know you have to be somewhere then leave earlier. This shouldn't be a shock to anyone.

    The tailback you endured 2 weeks ago? ya it was always gonna happen again

    If you dont have a letter from your employer then stay home.

    If you need to get to school/your essential work then go earlier.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,595 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    Decent sized drop in hospital.

    305, 26 in, 36 out.
