Now we just need to stop with the obsessive reporting of case numbers every day and we’re away with it

Martin already dishing out the paranoia:

"We have to monitor the issue closely of dangerous new variants"

Its amazing the amount of people who go on about scaremongering negativity and paranoia. When in facts they are the people everytime that bring these things up.

Like its a common sense phrase by MM and this guy has turned the paranioa agenda on it. It's like these people can never be happy yet they claim to be the ones who the opposite. And all it does is drive people to argue and doesnt help anything.

So hotels can't serve food or drink for a week were it will be outdoors only then.

They can, just to guests only so if you want a few pints for the bank holiday best book a room somewhere

Honestly think a weekly update* is all that's required. Case numbers are largely irrelevant and have been for about two months now since the vulnerable were getting vaccinated properly.

Hospital and ICU numbers are the key, even when we have 80% vaccinated at some point in the future there will likely be cases.

Give NPHET a Tuesday evening each week to give the weekly figures and that's all they get

*Of course the media would be up in arms not being able to report their daily dose of doom so it likely won't happen

No MM fan but....I thought he spoke quite well

Dempo1 · 29-04-2021 06:26PM

Positive news but typically convoluted, ironic 474 more cases and 3 deaths announced as the Taoiseach spoke so whilst hospitalisation down, numbers of new cases not so down.

I don't get these various permissions as to who can visit another person's house, it's a nonsense and besides who monitors this.

I'm sure pubs and restaurants thrilled at the notion of out door service, they might get a few weeks of decent weather. The pronouncement by the HSE of 250k Vacinnes next week is probably fantasy, but we'll see.

Salons and barber's by appointment? Yeah, that's really going to happen and of course salons & barber's will turn away those naughty clients who haven't booked.

So hard to know, hard to see what's going to happen but with that mysterious and quite frankly nonsensical notion of €15 billion in personal savings waiting to be spent, I'm sure the economy will be fine, I've just ordered a Rolex myself (NOT)

Aviation person on radio not at all happy with what was announced. He can’t understand why there isn’t a roadmap for them as an industry.

PTH2009 · 29-04-2021 06:29PM

Disappointed we don't have a 'real plan' for post June only the usual 'we'll see'

castletownman · 29-04-2021 06:29PM

Gyms and swimming pools opening the same day as outdoor hospitality.

I know what activity I'll be pursuing.

Swimming.....in pints.

It wasn't Michael O Leary by any chance

Itssoeasy · 29-04-2021 06:29PM

Oh the same aviation person(airline ceo) took a less than vailed shot at eamonn Ryan.

When do people reckon mandatory mask wearing in shops/public transport/indoor areas etc will end?

_Kaiser_ · 29-04-2021 06:33PM

Publican here putting the reality on the outdoor only stuff. Running his pub on the basis of 20 customers just won't be worth it for him and many others I'd say.

That'll likely be among the last to go unfortunately.

Martin was a bit more confident that speech

I have been an avid traveller, have visited all 7 continents, but I feel a lot of serious travel is going to off the cards for several reasons for another year or two. Like a lot, have had to cancel many trips during this pandemic. The peculiar thing is I have almost come to dread the thought of being in busy airports again, I can't imagine myself being able for it again. I feel I might be dipping my toes again by booking on board a small commuter type airplane to, eg, UK, where I won't be standing as much in long queues. Or maybe taking the ferry. It's a really strange thing for me to admit this.

Any mention of cinemas or funfairs opening?

To be honest I find the case numbers fairly interesting. Especially on a regional level. It makes for interesting reading as to the behaviour of the virus in what is in effect a fairly homogeneous country. (Dublin excepted

)

That said I dont understand why people take the media headlines as gospel and get worked up/ outraged on the basis of whats published.. Most have some basis of truth but a lot more are pure fluff. Maybe we need anti media goggles issued to everyone :pac:

ASAP hopefully. Most useless of things introduced during the whole shambles. I’d imagine be February 2022 unfortunately.

The same can be said for restaurants also, just not viable

Balmed Out · 29-04-2021 06:37PM

Did they mention when kids can play matches? Help coaching and they ask me every night can they have a practice match, high fiving and arm in arm all over but can only do drills.

Well that’s it. It’s not wet or dry pubs it’s indoor and outdoor. I mean non of the pubs have any room outdoor and what they do it’s barely worth it.

Honestly? Probably not till spring of next year at the minimum I would say. Social Distancing and mask wearing will probably be the last restrictions removed.

Mary Lou was asked was there anything she wasn’t happy with from the announcement and she said no.
