This is the sort of bull**** people have to put up with. I have had core civil liberties removed, things that throughout human history would have been considered unalienable rights, and yet here we have some guy smugly telling me I should be grateful that I can still go on the internet.

I haven't had a life for a full year and some guy is telling me that actually it didn't happen, because for a few weeks last year I could have eaten some food in a heavily restricted former restaurant.

Whats next? We have closed all shops and you can't get food any more, but you can still get water from the tap so what are you complaining about... :rolleyes:

I say one thing, this whole thing has really opened my eyes as to the mentality of the Irish people, I never quite realised how petty and sycophantic so many of them can be, it seems there is no level of incompetence that will not be accepted or even defended to the hilt.

Don't shoot the messenger. The only person contradicting you, is well...you.

Not much exaggeration there then...

How long we have been in it is not relevant. How long we WILL be in it is relevant and the future doesn’t look good right now.

Holland. 9pm curfew until the next morning. Allowed to travel to anywhere within the country beaches etc etc.

Ireland. 24 hrs not allowed further than 5 k.

Like I said earlier people are gullible enough to think this is great, we don’t have a curfew because it isn’t actually called a curfew, just a distance restriction.

Since October 2020 bar 2 or 3 weeks over Christmas, let that sink in. Heading for 6 month's now.

Cases mean nothing because everybody I no that has tested positive had no symptoms and have done there isolation for 2 weeks. Nobody I no took the mick they done there part and what was required and they're family got tested, contact trace etc. How does somebody in the same house test positive and the others negative even after getting tested twice? So how is it spreading?
The cure is absolutely worse than the disease now.
People are forgetting why we have a constitution, it's created to stop governments from having this kind of abusive power which, history will show is very difficult to get back.

That's a bit like saying saying we've Xmas all year around now with the exception of the 10 months in the middle.

Some positivity for the social and pub merchants, they are thinking ahead for when covid is over:

“Nightclubs look set to be allowed stay open later and Sunday pub opening hours will be extended under a plan by the Minister for Justice to reform the alcohol licensing laws.”

“ The changes will form part of Government's efforts to boost the hospitality sector's recovery when the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions are lifted later this year.”

There are lots of Irish GPs on twitter calling bull**** on NPHET's idea to keep the whole country in lockdown until waiting lists fall and demanding a return to normality.

The people who are responsible for the failed HSE, the incompetent civil servants, are driving this country into the ground.

I'm curious were you saying this is grand, 7 weeks back in Dec. People here seem to have forgotten Dec when the numbers exploded.

Absolutely nothing like what you are saying. Bar what you see on television or read online or the paper's there's absolutely no evidence of this killer flu that had people dropping dead on the streets of wuhan.

You wouldn’t?

Up until 9pm travel anywhere, bring the kids to the beach etc bit of release etc etc and not allowed out from 9pm

Versus

What we have?

The fact you think we don’t have a curfew because it’s not actually called a curfew speaks wonders.

Maybe it’s true, people are loving the lockdown misery?

I'm not the one cherry picking which restrictions they want like box of chocolates and ignoring the others they don't like.

Everyone wants this to end. Ignoring it won't make it go away.

I've not seen a fatal car accident in the last 12 months either. Guess that fake news also.

No you’re trying to make out that it’s worse elsewhere cos they have a curfew without actually realising what that curfew is versus what we have and making yourself look foolish by still trying to say “it’s worse in other countries because they have a curfew”

So Holland or here curfew versus 5k restriction? Still think curfew is worse like you’ve been claiming since your 11.37am post?

There are people in "non-essential" workplaces still working so hard to keep going that they wouldn't have time to do that ****.

Incidentally we've had no problem getting x-rays for non Covid related issues over the past 12 months.
