    There was/is a protest announced at St Stephens Green at 2pm today.

    Not saying I agree with the closure notice but its certainly because of that.

    The threat from the variants is real. Will that come to pass or not, we do not know. The probability of a variant emerging that the current vaccines are significantly less effective against is also not known. So, we do not know how big or small the threat it. That is why a zero Covid approach still cannot be ruled out as a sensible approach. Maybe at the end of the year we may be in a better position to judge that.

    So you didn't look for the relevant information on the vaccine thread then. It's all there.

    So if you live in the city and need to be round some greenery, you cannot????. Anyone in the city should storm up to the phoenix park im back from st annes and everything from fairview to sutton is buzzing and packed. Great to see and not a garda in sight. Loads of groups on the clontarf greens doing weights and boxing stuff. Florence nightingales father insisted on her getting an hours exersice every morning or a few miles walk at least and he insisted also being around nature once a day is invalueble for the human phyche..you simply cannot state this enough..closing a park in the city is ****e form.

    It's closed due to security concerns, nothing else. No luas or traffic allowed in either.

    No doubt it will hijacked by the usual hardline groups and the majority who are in favour of easing of some restrictions will be badly misrepresented.

    RTÉ will undoubtedly gravitate towards minority sympathetic to Gemma O'Doherty and tar the entire assembly with one brush.

    Thats it, if we question any of the rules we're obviously an anti vax nut job.

    I don't like the sound of another lockdown in such a short space of time. Makes me think they didn't find all the cases from last week and God knows what they've been out doing. Really hope things don't get bad for them.

    I don’t think it will.....they’ve shut down a city of 1.7million for a week for 1 case....they don’t mess about when it comes to Covid

    Ask people would they like the 5km limit lifted in a survey. Thats an easing of a restriction that from what i can tell the majority want.

    We may end up taking a vaccine every 6 months for a couple of years to help knock this vaccine down, if new variants prove problematic or if immunity only lasts short while. McConkey rubbishing the vaccines leading to people not taking it is dangerous talk.

    Point me to where I said there's no border? Are you denying that 2 countries are on the island? Is that where you're going now? FFS

    Questing any of the restrictions makes you not only mad, but also bad.

    Didn't take long for hassle. Gardai having fireworks and bottles thrown at them, pictures going around of people holding anti vax signs, someone else with a megaphone saying the vaccine will kill you etc. Not a whole lot peaceful about it.

    Anyway I digress from topic, probably better not to give it much airtime

    Protests in ireland are so tame that when they start to resemble protests in the rest of europe, the pearl clutching begins

    You did the miss of the spirit of it and I don't feel you're quite understanding it yet either.

    The original context was he replying to a poster who said it was very easy for Mr Reid to complain about the actions of others when he was living a different life to them. The point that you seem to be partially acknowledging but not quite going all the way is that we have no idea how easy or difficult anyone's life is. To assume that lockdown is easy for Holohan or Reid is a very dangerous assumption. We don't know anything about their life.

    I haven't offered any comment on either Reid or Holohan and assume nothing about them. Nor am dealing with what some other poster said - this chap's words may have been in response to another comment but they still stand on their own daft pedestal. I understand you want to dilute the clumsiness of what he said for him - though why, I'm not sure - but his comments were tone deaf in exactly the same way as Madonna saying "We're all in this together" from her Malibu villa. It was just daft. :rolleyes:

    Nada mas.

    Many people won't be allowed to go away on holidays abroad unless you have the money to pay fines. Irish summer weather can be bad so a break away abroad can be good. Many of us not allowed to move beyond 5KM and holidays are looking unlikely and RTE are showing us Francis Brennans cruise ship work experience. Giving us a taste of what a holiday looks like and teasing us.
    F€ck off RTE. They could at least show us a matinee movie instead.

    I think the protest is stupid in the middle of the pandemic but I feel the lack of leadership and communication brought it to this point. The bubble in Leinster house is very different to the vast majority of us. I do feel like I sound like a broken record lately but really disappointed with government this last while.
