The less smart need to be kept in line, for their own good, and that of wider sensible society.

Honest question, what personal gratification do you get by posting such provocative comments?
You posted your claim that Stephen Donnelly is viewed as a prat solely due to his accent too late at night to generate significant responses.

cmon now ...you are aware that im taking about covid rules and laws....again common sense might have gave you the hint with us being on a covid thread that i was referring to the covid rules and not bombing your car down the road at 140kmh per hour...i absolutley believe in the guards,the rule of law,the courts ect ect...but we have thrown all common sense out the window to deal with a relativey mild virus for most of the population...i agree with the law of the land pre-covid..what i dont agree with is idiotic new laws and rules that are destroying business,jobs,lives...we have been team players for 12 months now

We have to look after 100% of the population. It’s not mild for 100% of people... its been life ending for some, thousands in fact....

Restrictions haven’t destroyed a single thing, covid has though...

The comments were not provocative, they were deadly accurate however .

So you think Donnelly is only viewed as a prat ( unusual term to use btw) because of his accent?

do you truly believe that? i cant believe the covid tunnel vision ..it really is the only show in town for some people

Why does the government think that the importance of containing the pandemic necessitate banning click-and-collect, given that it's not a close-contact service?

Law is interpreted on a regular basis, AGS use discretion all the time.
There is an absence of cop on all right although I doubt you would recognise the irony.

I wouldn’t recognize the irony seeing as I’m replying to your posts

Discretion is only a available to Gardai in situations as to what actions they take.. ie. If I’m pulled doing 52 kmh in a 50 zone... discretion. If a person assaulted someone they can’t say.. ‘on your way’.. discretion doesn’t fly that far..

It’s the only show in town, I’m not wanting an encore... people need to cop the fûck on and behave.

You have some weird obsession with equating traffic laws with Covid.
As for your comments about AGS as with most of your comments, you're clueless.

Whole thing makes no sense IMO. I can't go into Penney's and buy knickers, socks, pyjamas etc but I can go to Tesco's and get them. Cant buy balloons in woodies but I can in Mr Price! Can't buy a mirror in the range but I can buy cupcake decorations!

But see this is the problem. We don't even have a rough idea of when outdoor dining and then eventually indoor dining will be allowed. For all we know outdoor dining may not be allowed until September and if restaurants spent money creating outdoor seating it would be wasted. On the opposite side, maybe outdoor dining may be allowed from May and indoor from June and again, some restaurants may not think its worth the money and effort to create decent outdoor dining space.

I haven't read any other post from this person or at least I didn't notice but what you've quoted doesn't seem.orovocative to me at all. It seems like the truth.

I was in Easons today and you could buy adult fiction but not childrens books .Fair play to a staff member who went out of her way and asked me what I wanted and brought out a selection to choose from but it struck me as totally ridiculous .

Not weird at all

Clueless ? I’m not the one maintaining that all restrictions should be scrapped and excusing crappy and illegal and dangerous behaviors during a pandemic that has brought the country and indeed planet to its knees and killed thousands of people here, millions worldwide ....

You are some lad to be calling anybody else clueless

. Laughable if it wasn’t so serious....

Based on what you post it's an accurate assessment tbh

It would be nice, but we just dont know. No information is better than bad information. When we can say what can or what cannot be opened and under what circumstances, then we will. Just because we know they want clarity is not in itself a reason to give it.

People wonder why some view certain restrictions as idiotic.
Another poster made reference to the make up section being closed in their local Tesco but could buy the same products in Boots.

You’ve hardly been accurate once in this thread to be honest so I’ll take what you have to say as regards anything and everything, here and beyond with a big pinch of salt, you aren’t capable of assessing anything or anyone here.

Whereas you are qualified to assess people, particularly children . What was that delightful term you used to describe a 12 year old child? ' needy little bollix' wasn't it?

In fairness, given that these decorations are put on cakes or buns and are thus eaten, I guess they qualify as "essential items" - probably in the same group as icing sugar.
