Don't know if it has been posted but a group of 3 Indians left quarantine in a Dubbin hotel and are being sought.

Hope they are caught quickly and punished. If they carry the variant they could double the numbers here in no time.

You’re hilarious. Maybe you should go to a computer class to learn how to qoute the correct poster when on a forum then? You qouted my posts to my replies not Faceman’s. It seems that you are the one digging the hole. You didn’t like it when i pointed out your post was typical SAGE doomongering with their inaccurate predictions. You then resort to attacking the twitter authors to try and get out of the hole you’re digging. News flash that doesn’t make the claim less true. They are genuine SAGE headlines. Nice one
Btw i don’t follow any of those on twitter i found the link elsewhere .

I presume you can only be taking the proverbial. Lol.

This is my first comment on facemans post . And here's you then bizarrely quoting me out of context and from where you went on a spiel waffling on about 'SAGE' whooooo! And then you continued despite your error being pointed out by reply.



Maybe try and understand the context (simply humour in this case and not advocacy of "SAGE') of a comment before getting absolutley buried.

But no matter - I'll leave you to it

What so a plane full of unvaccinated & untested people from Bolton sets off to sunny Spain where they are welcomed with open arms. Mixing with people from the rest of Europe, waiters, hotel staff and everyone else for 2 weeks.

What damage could a few plane loads like that do in a couple of months ?

News flash this has happened since the beginning of time. You have no idea what people you come into contact with every single day are carrying. Same as when you pop down to Dunnes for your shop.

Yes and basic logic of course.

I can't see anything in the article suggesting these people were carrying disease.

We have actual disease carriers able to freely roam the country at will while healthy people are being locked up for the heinous crime of coming from another country. It's absurd.

Its totally logical. At least the people already here are unlikely to bring in a new variant.

it was ironic

. There was nothing wrong with my post. My reply to that post was to be cautious of SAGE because they are known for their doomongering and have been wrong a good few times. So then you come on to try and discredit it by qouting names of twitter authors because you didn’t like your post being possibly discredited so you threw your toys out of the pram.

Oh yes there was! :pac:

Look if you wish to waffle on about SAGE. By all means do so.

But leave me out loosing the proverbial plot because you simply can't admit to getting a comment arsewsys.

Yeah but watch out for those #MotherOfGod twitterers - you never know what you could be linking too :pac:

The only waffling i see comes from you constantly berating and winding up other posters. My post was a valid comment about SAGE . You didn’t like it. But tough..

So nothing to do with you replying to a comment and completely taking it out of context no? And rabbiting on about "SAGE" non stop for no other reason than not admitting that?

Strangely the only one making stuff up about apparently "berating and winding up other posters" is yourself.

But hey its all a bit hilarious all the same. Thanks for the laugh.

More deflecting. My reply about Sage was totally relevent to your post about SAGE. It’s best to lay all the cards on the table if we’re going to discuss about an organisation like SAGE especially as they are known to jump the gun.

NEPHET’s new “concern”. I think we can kiss goodbye to any travel cert now :mad:

The only black cloud about is the perpetual negativity and confusion from RTE. Earlier today they had a headline 'Ireland may not be able to fully roll out travel certs before mid-August', but within that very same article it then says:

This morning the Minister for Health said Ireland will adopt a Covid-19 certificate to help citizens travel more freely across the European Union "as early as possible" and not necessarily by late July as previously flagged.

'While ministers have said it will be late July or early August before they put the so-called EU's so-called "green certificate" into operation, Mr Donnelly said today that it could be earlier.

Make up your minds lads!

It’s certainly amusing to see the Dept of Health suggesting that private enterprises would be incapable of managing the information flow to confirm the results of a covid test. This in a week when it has transpired that having been initially targeted by the ransom attack, the Dept of Health did not alert the HSE or other agencies immediately. While it would likely not have limited the HSE attack which was likely already embedded, the failure to raise an alert within one of its own agencies is telling.

The idea that Boots, Randox etc would be incapable of delivering test data in a manner suitable for inclusion in a certain is laughable.
