    They had 45k at Wembley yesterday, do you actually belive what you are typing.

    And they'll have 60k in a week's time.

    They're actually living with covid like most sensible countries.

    But NPHET know better.

    Are you not overlooking that this delta variant is the reason the U.K stalled their reopening.
    Their levels of reopening were based on the then alpha variant and vaccination levels based on that variant. There test events data based on the same. If it was now with the delta variant who knows what their data would have shown as regards their reopening road-map.

    The UK are saying they are going to be fully reopen on July the 19th. they paused for 3 weeks and seem to be ploughing on regardless.
    In Ireland we are saying we are going to have a plan for re-opening on the 19th July, not that anything will reopen. all based on what looks to be flawed data.
    The vaccines work against the Delta varient. this seems to be forgotten.
    the test events here are a farce. Just because the varient is slighly different, possibly slightly more transmissable, doesn't mean data previously gathered is useless.

    So we lockdown initially to protect the elderly and vulnerable, now the elderly and vulnerable are vaccinated and they get to live the high life indoors while the ones to sacrificed everything in order to protect them have to sit outside like the great unwashed in case it spreads to who exactly? In what world does that make any sense. Riddle me that

    I’ve emailed Coveney, McGrath, Martin and O’Laoghaire. I made it clear how disgusted I am at it all.

    You wouldn't link to their email would you, even just PM me please. I'm absolutely raging today as my daughter's job is now closing because of yesterday's decision and i'd like to let them know my feelings. Thanks.

    If they weren't allowed up to now then no. All changes to indoor activities have been put back to the 19th July, with the exception of weddings going up to 50 people.

    I am not sure if they were allowed up to now it is my niece.

    Their email addresses (along with any other TDs) are on Oireachtas.ie

    https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/members/tds/?tab=constituency&term=%2Fie%2Foireachtas%2Fhouse%2Fdail%2F33&constituency=%2Fie%2Foireachtas%2Fhouse%2Fdail%2F33%2Fconstituency%2FCork-South-Central

    I'm not sure it does much unfortunately, but it's something at least. Maybe if they get thousands of emails in their inboxes, they might do something.

    You just have to bring the person who is going to administer the vaccine to the pub with you. If he/she is vaccinated, ye can share a pint at the door.

    Thanks, better than vaccine apartheid ****e being touted yesterday. At least this way I can still have a life.

    Donnelly is really not with it. He is constantly all over the place, and he is so utterly incoherent and inconsistent.

    A toilet brush would be of more use to gather information.

    Are Christenings allowed to go ahead?

    Yes, there is a fairly significant chance babies can catch evil if not baptised. We got our child baptised twice just to be sure and I'm still convinced there's a bit of devil still in there.

    I did laugh at this first and then thought wait a second, I might check as maybe NPHET might have said that! Says it all really!

    I work in retail and I've lost all fear of the virus. Been working whenever we were able to open and at this stage, I'm confident I'll end up catching this variant. I'm 29 and am at low risk of getting sick with this. Might be a good thing.

    My neighbours came back from a 2-week holiday in Spain yesterday. They are in thier 70's and had a great time. I asked them how they got on at the airport and they said they they had some documentation printed off about their apartment and were going to tell the Guard that they needed to carry out some repairs if they were questioned - they were waved through.

    I thought it was so ironic on the day that young people are being told, yet again, that they need to put their social lives on hold to 'protect lives', that the older demographic can jet off for a sun holiday.

    Don't get me wrong - my neighbours were dead right to get away but it makes such a mockery of this bullsh;t that NPHET and the cowards in Government are carrying on with.

    Almost 60 sensible countries have the UK on their banned list.

    Unfortunately we share a small island with them.

    You better inform those 60 odd countries so.

    You may need to explain how you know better though.

    I wouldn't presume to tell them anything.

    If they have banned the UK from travel I imagine it was done for sound reasons.

    Does anyone think it's possible for the Govt to do a U-turn on this amid the backlash? Maybe delay indoor dining til July 19 and scrap the 2 tier system?

    With the housing crisis and approaching pensions timebomb, the youth of this country have very little to look forward to other than a lifetime of punitive taxes and either living with their parents into their 40's or paying exorbitant rent for a shoebox apartment.

    Who in their right mind will decide to make their lives here - the hardest working and best-educated will emigrate.

    The future for this country looks bleak IMO.
