    Ever think she didn't have a choice no and this was her last resort.

    Either open now or lose her business.

    A population of 4,900,000 and currently 639 in hospital and the average age of people dying with Covid is 83 which is the average age of death in Ireland yet we have to shut down the whole fecking country and most have an underlying condition.

    Alcohol and cigarettes kill more than 7,000 people each year in Ireland.

    Its a complete and utter farce.

    Protect the elderly and those with underlying conditions and open back up.

    Any comment on the fact that there are 639 in hospital because we shut down the country?

    So no plan.. all still the same but schools opening. No mention of a plan come April and what we might expect.
    More than likely level 4 and stay in own county, some retail may open for click and collect maybe.
    Not a glimmer of hope in April , kids outdoor training or anything.
    MM to make a public address and then addresses nothing only waffle.

    Once the 60+ and healthcare workers and at risk groups are vaccinated we must open up. We really should be targeting something similar to the UK.

    I don't think we will be too far behind anyway. Fingers crossed.

    This has been explained numerous times. What about all their Carers? Should we be all kept locked down too? Certainly we have been completely forgotten about in the vaccine program.

    Thank you, baffling why we aren't opening up once over 65s are vaccinated

    I'm not going to lie, while Level 5 until April 5th surprises me about as much as seeing my feet attached to my legs, there wasn't much in the way of detail there.

    That's me done (bar wearing a mask).

    We have the barber coming out to the house on Saturday.

    I did my part long enough. Time to resume my life.

    Just remember this:

    The past you that would have still be doing it's part is now going to have to do its part for even longer than it would originally have. The people who are still doing their part will have to do it for longer to compensate for you. If everyone follows your lead the infection resurges, people die, people with other health conditions get their treatments deferred, people reliant on covid support schemes have to stay on them for much longer, businesses go even further extinct. Everythings stay sh1t and get's even worse.

    You haven't done your part yet. That's the reality.

    I don't know what bubble the government are in but they haven't a clue about the general population. Done for me now anyway. I'll be making up my own plan.

    Lads the reduction in AstraZeneca would see us getting 990k from AstraZeneca in Q2

    The plan sees us getting 4.5m doses of which 818k is AstraZeneca. So the AstraZeneca fall is already overcompensated for in the plan.

    This will make a huge difference. We should be where the UK will be in mid June in early august.

    The end is near

    The UK variant is like a new virus. What kind of irresponsible fearmongering is this?

    That's actually an accurate statement. If you take any scenario from the first wave and compare it to now the rate of infection this time around will be higher.

    You do realise there's more than one vaccine? :rolleyes:

    I realise I have two 90 year old Parents who haven't been outside the door in 12 months . They were all excited for their vaccine and they have heard absolutely nothing about it. This Governemnet spin out stories but people are tired of it and see through the spin now. We lost 1000 lives at Christmas many due to mismanagement by Government

    Micheál needs to be challenged and taken to task on that “the variants are a new virus” statement. It’s not like it was an unprepared, off the cuff remark, this went out to the nation in a flipping national address! There will be people out there, mentally vulnerable people who will be frightened by that statement and assume the vaccines don’t work. But I guess that was the end goal really wasn’t it, to promote fear —facts be damned. Utter tosh

    Why can they just not say when the vulnerable between 18-65 are vaccinated that the plan is to fully open up? If this isn't the plan we need to stop using the roads, stop walking outside out homes at night as the risks of death would be higher.

    This might have meant something 12 months ago but a year into this it's absolute crap.

    It is no longer acceptable for people to be told that they will be at fault for living after a year of pathetic government mismanagement.

    They have had 12 months to get on top of this, to sort out hospital and nursing home transmission. To sort out travel. Our taoiseach just gave a national address where he wouldnt even announce a plan.

    The problems which lockdown is causing are now greater than the benefits it provides. The elderly and vulnerable will be vaccinated soon. Time to move on.

    MaryLou straight into the foreign travel haha.

    She is obsessed and knows what wins the hearts and minds of the populists

    Somebody should ask her whether she knows Ireland is a member of the EU! and no other country imposes enforced hotel quarantine.

    it's a reckless statement... it quite clearly carries a connotation that existing vaccines may not work for a "new virus"

    Is there a need for a passage of brainless rambling from Eamon Ryan here?

    I don’t think so
