    Even if you don't drink, you should be appalled at personal freedoms being curtailed over dodgy figures and even more appalled that government is effectively in the jaws of overpaid bureaucrats.

    Irish government is not cautious in 2021 because of the Famine.

    I said it the other day. If they delay, it won't be a couple weeks. This will go on till after the bank holiday.

    Did you not bother listening to the update? All organised indoor activities postponed including kids summer camps, sports training etc with not an idea what's happening other than "we plan to have a plan by the 19th".

    This kicking for touch until the 19th is some sham

    As if the government will have a workable plan in under 2 weeks when they haven't planned for indoor dining since last December

    Beyond useless

    25% of people in the state are under 18. So they cant get a vaccine.

    Another 10% of over 18 wont take the vaccine.

    We ain't opening up for years. Time for NPHET to admit this is their thinking.

    So the unvaccinated 20 year old working in a bar will be telling the unvaccinated 30 year old that they can't come in - neither of whom will have been offered a vaccine

    Not to worry folks. An extra 25 people might be allowed into Croke Park by the year 2055, if they are 500 m apart and are wearing hazmat suits

    It won't be just a couple of weeks. They intend to have a "plan" by the 19th for implementation. Also this is impacting all indoor activities. Please stop going on about drink only. Summer camps cancelled, indoor training put back again. It's never ending.

    It's trying to reach the end sooner, agree not about drink completely never said it was, but a huge increase in numbers sets everything back, kids can train outdoors play games and socialise now. That means more to me than people drinking or eating indoors. If we proceed the way some people want we'll be gone backwards instead of forward by August.

    The vaccinated and the un-vaccinated.


    Will the vaccinated get special wrist bands and stickers to prove they're superior?

    Exactly what I'm saying. I'm saying they are cautious because we have no history of dealing with natural disasters with high death tolls, and are nervous about how people will react. Famine happened to be 1st example I thought of as most recent natural disaster in Ireland's history.


    And this was secondary to a stretched health care service, all in answering someone asking why Govt are so cautious

    Ah yeah. The summer is gone lads. And then we'll be back into increased restrictions for the winter.

    We have experience of it with TB. Almost 10,000 people died from TB between 1950 and 1960.

    A government afraid to rule and a media that refuses to question.
    This is a ****ed up state of affairs

    I'm no defender of the government, but the plan is clearly herd immunity. There will be no lockdown in the winter

    Lots of nice destinations from Belfast City Airport. I heard that Ibiza is nice at this time of year.

    Why would anybody want to 'holiday' or 'staycation' here after today?

    How quiet those posters have become that were essentially praising the slowness of it all.
    Embarrassment in all totality.
    So only vaccinated people, I assume that means no masks to walk anywhere within anything that is indoors. Ah wait, I seem to have caught the same load of bollocks the government has.

    I think this post is actually more pathetic than the governments decision. And that is saying a lot.

    I don't know how you can think that based on where we are. NPHET are predicting doomsday case levels for January even with vaccinations. You don't think they won't recommend lockdowns for the winter?

    So what if you dont want a vaccine? Youre not allowed to ever dine indoors??. That wont be lifted ever..its criminal, end of story??. Begining of a very slippery slope. Weeks ago we were told vaccine identification is only for travel so conspiracy theorists are starting to sound right tbh.
