Exactly, stop shaming other people for this, if they want blame, blame the ****ty health service for being incompetent for decades and finally catching up on them , or blame CHINA !!!

China did this - remember that.

Do these people ever shame people for regular flu transmission that kills someone ?

People who are sticking to every rule seem to be going mad.

People who are not sticking to the rules are doing much better.

Not fair to say that at this stage.
They have 207k vaccines and 200k have been given out...what more do you want them to do in that instance?

It’s not easy these times so there needs to be a little more understanding even if we vehemently disagree.
It is a mentally tough time.

You want to go on holiday to visit a pal though and might need to quarantine for 14 days on each side of your trip? Your situation may not allow for that with work and length of trip.

These older people are retired and have no dependents. They can easily quarantine and will do it because if their age bracket (they're at risk).

We're in lockdown 3 due to government stupidity, ethnic funerals etc.

McDermotX · 04-02-2021 02:32PM

Yes........I can feeeeeeel your anger

TheRiverman · 04-02-2021 02:33PM

We live in Ireland, we have mixed weather, get over it.

Pretzill · 04-02-2021 02:33PM

Why are there regulations? What if we all head off on the 19.99 flights and take covid with us - it wouldn't be long before the authorities in the Canaries would be locking people in their flats - they won't be warming the brandies then. →_→

McDermotX · 04-02-2021 02:34PM

Em......you broke de rules by your very movement......in Ireland

BTownB · 04-02-2021 02:34PM

People are seriously deteriorating mentally.

Older people are assessing their risk and deciding to live abroad.

We can't all do the same. More's the pity.

It's the only game in town. My fear is they will drip feed the last 10k vulnerabilities to milk a few extra months out of the lockdown.

Going round the bend myself, I must say.

Ireland should know the familiar patter from 'righteous' people, we've surely seen enough of it in the past.
Authoritarian, moralising deadhead droids.

Not a safe island if people keep coming into it.

This sad story is everything wrong with Liveline.

It's sad your daughter is autistic, it's sad she's in residential care.

But your challenges shouldn't mean that others cannot live their lives as they see fit. Frank and Una have lived their lives, paid their taxes and should be able to sit in the sun and enjoy themselves. They are Covid free, been tested and no danger to anyone.

This victim culture is so ****ing played out at this stage especially on Liveline where most callers will call in about a certain subject and within five seconds mention they are diabetic or have a sick relative.

It's poisonous radio.

We can blame the media for the scaremongering and turning people into curtain twithing rats for all this.

BPKS · 04-02-2021 02:35PM

If they opened the windows on the plane would that be OK?

McDermotX · 04-02-2021 02:36PM

Yes......Una is a real hero

BPKS · 04-02-2021 02:36PM

Leo meant Una when he said not all heroes wear capes.

Living Off The Splash · 04-02-2021 02:36PM

Did Liveline phone these people? How did they locate them?

or

Did these people phone in to be "smug".

That's great, I'll book an airplane tomorrow, room for two passengers.. anyone?

Saint Una, patron saint of people with massive egos

Hector Savage · 04-02-2021 02:36PM

Well she won;t take up a bed in Ireland, she is also being tested what the f*ck is the problem ?

Yep and Frank and Una will want to come home soon enough to get their vaccine. Doubtful they will quarantine for 14 days.

cozar · 04-02-2021 02:36PM

It will be if they finally have dedicated quarantine hotels at airport.
Job done.

Atlantic Dawn · 04-02-2021 02:37PM

Whoy not encourage anyone who got the voyrus and has recovered to go on holiday?

PieOhMy · 04-02-2021 02:37PM

They should put una on a commemorative coin.
The saviour of ireland!
