That should be a given. Even last year a lot of countries allowed limited numbers of fans into games. That ain't happening here.

It did happen here, and the GAA muppets ruined it for everyone. If they had behaved like adults when they won the tin pot trophy, there could have been fans at loi and inter County.

I have no idea why the government would be killing people on purpose.

I do know that exact same "point" was argued in the high court though.

The judge had a similar reaction to me.

You must have missed the fact that I was asking a question, Boggles. You didn't answer it.

No matter, I'll ask again.

Why would the government not strongly recommended (let alone supply) a proven, effective, cheap and safe therapy for an ongoing pandemic disease?

I may be wrong here and remembering things through my own lenses, but I remember the first lockdown being a lot more strict than the last two. People had been absolutely spellbound by seeing images of people dropping dead in the street in Wuhan an Chinese authorities welding blocks of flats shut. The reality of the mildness of this virus for the majority of the population has woken a lot of people up. Come April people will not accept the harsh measures we’re living under now. NPHET know this and it’s why they’re scrambling to bring in the travel restrictions on entering and leaving the country.

And when they are opening the schools they should give every child in Ireland a voucher for a summer camp or after school activity, hobby they attend etc. The children have been robbed of their time since last year and definitely deserve something back for their sacrifice. Also they need to gets kids activities/ clubs resuming again, it’s a joke at this stage!!

Ms O'Doherty said what the State did was "absolutely disgusting"...There was a cure for the virus, she claimed

She also claimed the virus doesn't exist...

The fans at those games weren't the problem. A few teams won their club championships and there were a few get togethers. It was completely blown out of proportion by the media and the government did what they've repeatedly done since the start, used a sledgehammer to rack a nut.

Ombudsman for children now expressing concern about the regression of children and their mental health during this pandemic. Great to hear that someone is thinking of our children as the gov. certainly seem to have forgotten them completely.

"if a young child is taken out of school for say 18 months in their formative years will they ever be able to reach full intellectual capabilities?"

a post i made back in April 2020.

You may be right but hope you are not.There’s a tsunami of mental health problems coming down the tracks, children and adults, depression, anxiety, people addicted to anti depressants, other addictions, probably obesity too and general unhealthiness. At what point is the cure worse than the disease??

if they intend to continue with level 5 until everyone is vaccinated now they've taken away gyms and local sports from everyone, they can say "home work outs" or whatever as much as they like but a huge amount of people will have barely exercised in a year - which seems a lot worse for general health of population than a few people dying of COVID-19.

Explain how there's no such thing as free speech when half the hilarious posters insist on referring to the Taoiseach and tanaiste as mehole and Leo the leak? Are they being abducted in the night by the stasi?

No I won’t cause if it needs to explained to u , u clearly haven’t a clue.

Big deal u get to call Taoiseach meholee...

Absolutely everything that makes life worth living has become demonised and blown out of proportion and those who resist this tyranny are actually criminalised! So anyone that partakes in get togethers, Xmas family celebrations, sports victory celebrations, holidays are muppets, covidiots, granny killers, the list goes on.

I wonder will laughter be criminalised next?

Writers and artists will have a field day in the future from this very dark chapter of man's assholeness to man.

Dublin should of been full of French Rugby supporters this weekend

The amount of money lost on events like this is adding up

Life at the moment is like a real life remake of 'Footloose'.

The list of blame targets since the beginning of this is very long at this stage from Bulgarian fruit pickers to the GAA and everything in-between. Our state broadcaster has been instrumental in this gaslighting while the Government has by and large dodged much of the ire of the general public.
It's been known since the beginning that lockdown should be a last resort and is pretty much a sign of mismanagement. Yet here we are still, the general public angry at the likes of a relative few (confirmed negative by PCR) holiday makers/dental patients while we remain in an indefinite lockdown and our kids suffer. It will sure be interesting to see how history views this chapter in history- with all the non covid problems being stored up it can only be bad.

The French are the only people I know who go home from a rugby match with more money in their pocket than they arrive with.

There were also 2 rugby matches in the uk and a dozen premiership matches with no crowd, but that doesn't suit your narrative.

Yeah the lack of exercise.Know regular gym users now at a loss though some use exercise bikes at home. Kids not getting enough either stuck on phones etc

What have games in GB got to do with the narrative that Ireland is losing money of huge events??

It's because of an absolute deference to and subservience to authority which if not quite enshrined in our constitution, is one hundred percent enshrined in our DNA. And blame needs an outlet so the Irish blame each other and turn on each other. We're actually ripe pickings for another civil war.

While I personally loathe a blame game, I do get the concept of "the buck stops with." And the buck always stops with the man in charge, the boss. And in this case that's the Govt of the land.

Yet incredulously, to requote the above, "the Govt, has by and large, dodged the ire of the general public". Instead the ire is firmly aimed at the neighbours, the ones not wearing masks, calling to each other's houses, having a bit of a party [heaven forbid!] going off to Lanzarote [get the riot police out!] But the Govt and the crowd in opposition, all the while drawing down nice salaries at the tax payer's behest, what's their responsibility? Not responsible for anything it seems!

Very true and then we have the likes of Leo going rogue and do relieving interviews about how full restrictions are here to stay

Full restrictions are here to stay? Why do you feel the need to lie on the internet when it can be fact checked in about 11 seconds.
