    NPHET only get their way if the government let them. They only advise, not make policy and no is always an option.

    Discussing how the UK failed to have their big open day.

    They've been open to a level we can only dream about for months.

    This is what is built into people following Irish media, that shurre look the UK had to delay opening.....

    Yet not understanding they are largely open in all sectors of their society!

    I never thought I'd see myself voting for Labour but if they're the only ones opposing this nonsense then I guess I'm in.

    Anything to do with RTE is just propaganda for the Government, never have and never will go against their paymasters

    • Young people are not allowed into pubs for a pint, as its dangerous.
    • But young people are allowed in pubs if they are serving people, as that'll be fine.
    Clearly the Delta variant has figured out how to only infect people enjoying themselves, and not working.

    What the actual ****? :confused:

    Communions and Confirmations that was planned for early July are off but weddings with guests of 50 people can proceed. Where is the logic in allowing one over the other?
    There is none. Not just that either, for example indoor shopping centers packed while outdoors in 46,000 semple Stadium only 200 supporters was allowed to attend.

    Yup, they pushed back stuff like opening nightclubs. Nightclubs aren't even close to being discussion here (I'd be surprised if they open this year at all tbh)

    If an opinion is sound, it is sound regardless of the source. Stop being so petty.

    “The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.”- ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

    He's the last person you want in your corner. If I owned a pub I'd want his mouth shut for the sake of overall credibility. Brings everyone down with him.

    Delighted that the delay is happening. Now if the Government had been giving everyone including myself the Jennson vaccine like they were supposed to instead of the two jab pfizer one I would have been up for more opening up but as it is with the Delta variant around it is only right that more opening up of the country is delayed.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    They said we are all in this together. We won't stand for young people being left behind.

    I mean they are literally in power.

    Some people would jump of a bridge if their enemies were pro bridge. It's nothing but a childish approach. Just because you hate someone, it doesn't mean that they are always wrong.

    It's honestly hilarious that Leo Varadkar spent his weekend wedged into Capel Street in what I can only describe as some of the most packed I've ever seen streets in Dublin. Outdoors sure, but something NPHET still consider not safe and a risk factor.

    Yet here he is today dictating about restrictions and dangers of Delta etc. etc and just generally being ridiculously pessimistic. Does the man believe anything he says in his official capacity? If he did, then he most certainly wouldn't be attending huge unauthorised Pride street parties. Make it make sense. I'm sure he will say he went home before it got too busy.

    EDIT: I have no issues with the scenes I saw for the record - but that gowl being there at such a thing, get outta here.

    Delighted? Strange emotion for the day.
    Also Pfizer is more effective after one dose than the one-shot is. Which is another bit of unscientific nonsense that has been passed over all this time.
