    Having all the systems in place to enable a European requirement for the green pass is not progress on relaxation of restrictions?

    The Government or NPHET having any measure in place, before any scenario, is an utter miracle.

    However, when it's implemented is another story and as we've all read and heard today, "whatever Tony says, we'll do" and after his performance at The Oireacthas, I am not holding my breath for anyone wanting to travel

    And talking of Portugal ...

    To be fair though - everyone is sick of Covid

    So what, why don't you a few others address the FACTS that we are

    1. last country in the world for outdoor dining
    2. Last country in the world for indoor dining

    Because none of ye can justify it.

    Sorry but imagine going out and buying a book about the pandemic after we lived every painful day of it for 15 months. I want to go to the cinema, the theatre, museums, football matches, gigs and not give another fcuking thought to covid 19. It wasn't a gripping story, it was a horrible nightmare.

    It's patently obvious that the Government are setting us up for a delay in the next steps of reopening. This has happened before, it's happening now, it'll probably happen again come August when schools are due to reopen.

    The same people who are on this thread belittling anyone for recognising this and objecting to it, will be the same ones here in a fortnight telling us it's justified because "de variant" and telling anyone that objects that it's only for "a few weeks" and "pints" aren't that important. That too has happened before.

    RTE and the media have a vested interest in dragging this out - they're making a fortune in advertising and RTE in particular have been playing the poor mouth for years. All they have to do is let the same circuit of "experts" (who are also doing very well out of this in financial terms I'm sure) on to "be concerned" and make unsubstantiated claims and predictions, and it's win-win for both.

    A significant portion of the public (per recent polls) don't want to go back to the office, and so it's in their interest to support any suggestions that this might be delayed when business groups are calling for people to return to the city centres and buy their overpriced sandwiches and coffees.

    The bottom line is there are a relative handful in hospital, the "delta variant" is no more a threat than others, and the vaccination of those who might actually be at risk reduces that threat even more. If someone gets it and it presents as a mild cold that they easily shake off then that is not a significant threat to either them as an individual or us at national level. But that doesn't sell papers or advertising space, and it certainly won't help keep people at home indefinitely on full pay or the PUP.

    Look England had to delay their next stage so there will only be 60000 at the Euro finals.

    Portugal had to introduce a weekend travel restriction in and out of Lisbon.

    Lets sit back and laugh at these failure countrys and give Tony a minutes applause every Thursday night for saving us from these draconian measures.

    Only 60,000? That's terrible, shows that we have the same type of heavy restrictions throughout Europe.

    So as it turns out England vs Germany would have been in Dublin and I had a ticket for that match.

    The post you were replying to was someone who said the whole thing has been a nightmare, that he wants to go to see a football match and to see live music and to the cinema and to museums...

    Can he/she go to;

    The Cinema? Yes!
    A Museum? Yes!
    Football matches? If he/she is one of a very lucky 100. Otherwise, no he/she can't. If the person is referring to Soccer, no they can't go!
    Live music? No, they can't! It's a test event on July 3rd and no guarantee about future gigs or when musicians are allowed play again.

    As I said previously, this was you, like you have constantly done, using an opportunity to wind someone up or to piss on their posts.

    So they can attend the things they want to attend if they can get a ticket, exactly what I said.

    Aren't we great, opening a huge stadium with all the associate staff costs, so we can let 5000 people in.

    Well done Ireland.

    I've put that poster Hynesie on ignore. He's just looking for a reaction and trying to wind people up.

    Dreadful posts and a waste of my time reading them

    NZ is just the same. They launched a full on national inquest when 1 guy tested positive. Put his face on newspapers, where he went at what time of day, who he saw, where he worked, what college he attends, you'd swear he was a serial killer on the run.

    Got a source on this? I live in NZ and I dont recall every seeing anyone named and shamed, and definitely not seen faces in the paper

    "How to hold firm"

    Was watching British TV this morning and they said yesterday there were 27 Covid deaths and 1163 flu and pneumonia deaths. I would imagine the flu/pneumonia numbers are probably lower than average for this time of year given the restrictions, and would probably be multiples of this any winter time, so why haven’t they locked down or introduced restrictions for these respiratory illnesses in previous years?

    It’s absolute madness.
