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.

June 7th I think.. no crowds allowed though.

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.

I know a few people who've had to travel for essential work reasons and they all say it's a gift at the moment. Empty airports and planes, no stress queuing. A completely different experience.

In general but I doubt they'll drop mask wearing for this winter here in Ireland personally.

Matches definitely june 7th but see no mention as to whether contact in training allowed beforehand.

Press conference on now, Leo expecting an economic boom, all those billions to be spent, delusional.

I think we've been spared Eaomon Ryan at the press conference, thank god

I agree, infact I think a large section of society will continue to wear face masks

No it was an airline CEO and I can’t remember his name. I’ll have to check on the listen back.

Even independent TD Michael Collins is sounding upbeat on the radio. It seems politicians across the board are trying to keep the positive mood.

Well maybe one good thing is that we may seriously reduce the seasonal flu.

No issue with that at all personally - as long as the mandatory requirement is gone.

I certainly won't be one of those wearing one anyway.

First question at the media presser featuring MM and Leo:

"Are we reopening too quickly?"

Jesus wept. It wouldn't surprise me if that reporter was a government plant to throw favourable light on our dear leaders.

_Kaiser_ · 29-04-2021 06:56PM

MM being asked what "remaining stable" means in regards to the criteria for the next phase and what the criteria is...

... he immediately defers to NPHET's recommendations, says no specific benchmarks, variables involved... waffle, waffle....

Translation: Still making it up as they go along!

Edward Wilson of Ryanair & MOL"s miny me was on earlier in the week trashing everything from gov, NPHET, Cork Airport, its was shocking, he came across like a petulent child who's toy plane fell out of his pram.

Yes fully agree, personal choice etc

Great news about more of the economy opening up.

Vaccination program going well too.

Positive news going into a bank holiday weekend.

Won't everyone be vaccinated at that stage? I can't see the justification for continuing it then. Like others have said, grand if people choose to wear them and it is a positive that it can impact on the spread of flu, but mandatory requirements should not last longer than necessary.

Absolutely love the way you are falling over yourselves with excitement. It will be short lived and the Irish will do what they do best and **** things up and we will be back in level 5 again in 8 to 10 weeks time and we will all be eating turkey on our own again come Christmas.

Meh. Reporters ask questions.

More importantly what was the answer?

Have you heard of a thing called a vaccine?

It's a thing that's used to stop the spread of a virus just in case you haven't.

I'm hiding under the bed, you can take the gap behind couch. We needn't risk the outside world until 2022, Tesco delivery guy never misses a deadline.

Get a grip, with widespread vaccination we'll never experience Level 5 drudgery again. And economic pressure will tell on the government by the autumn, so any hiking of restrictions due to advent of seasonal viruses is minimal at most.

Not one of those planks would ask him what's the end game. By end of June are we going to see everything open with minimal to no measures on numbers etc?

The will be a boom in many sectors post Covid. The key will be to broaden it to as many as possible

Boggerman12 · 29-04-2021 07:24PM

If people want to wear masks forever knock yourself out.once its come to the day of getting rid of them I’ll be glad.today was a positive day and with the sun shining it felt like a bit of hope was really coming.

py2006 · 29-04-2021 07:26PM

I don't get the fuss about the masks, I don't even realise I am wearing one when I do we are so used to them.

While they may not be mandatory (Everywhere) in the near future I think a lot will still wear them for a while.
