For the love of God, a kick in the balls for large parts of the Entertainment Industry
How? Just once actually back up what you're saying considering a) he didn't mention physical distancing and b) you were ok with certs an hour ago.
You've become a parody of a joke that wasn't funny to begin with.
EDIT: https://www.rte.ie/news/2021/1018/1254308-nphet-easing-meeting/
Teresa mannion doesn't mention social distancing in her report. Wouldn't be like you to just blindly believe the worst.
It's being reported that he did mention physical distancing. Is there reporting that says otherwise? Covid certs wouldn't be the issue. If there's physical distancing presumably means no 100% capacity gigs which is spanner in works for gigs planned for this weekend and next few weeks.
literally the report by the person named in the tweet.
The exact quote was
"The continuation of the Covid certs is certainly an item on the agenda as is mask wearing and so on"
RTE took it upon themselves to bring up social distancing but left it out of the article....
the physical distance story is starting to run now
Again can you give the quote where he mentions it ?
RTE haven't even got it in their article and they were the first bloody ones to say it.
Honestly calm yourself for a while will you
Mirror reported it with physical distancing also. Maybe RTE will post full video of audio but think really until it's confirmed it's all speculation at this stage. Plenty of kites being flown so will have to see what NPHET reccomend and and what Cabinet decide. https://twitter.com/MichealLehane/status/1450106549934993414?t=ERFf5CRL6RA3w9O9ELPhRA&s=19
Show me an actual mention of physical distancing in that article and I will pay for your concert tickets for the next year.
Rte have already posted the video. Not mentioned
The quote i posted is literally what's said
Recently I was going to say I'd make a donation to a charity of choice each time something like this happened but I realised I'd probably be broke fairly quickly
Ah fair enough. Guess Lehane should probably clarify his tweet in that case. Can see how someone would get a different impression if had only seen original tweet.
Absolutely, the usual crap of journalists taking liberty. He left it wide open to them though. There was nothing said wasn't already said in the last few days bar a suggestion (again) of antigen testing being an aid in reopening
Sure you've nothing else to spend your money on, didn't pth guarantee we're going back to level 5 lockdown.
Saw this gig is being rescheduled due to the uncertainty https://twitter.com/foggynotions/status/1450131431406116866?t=sh1QJGgQ636sq3JXSxRSCQ&s=19
Tbh I'm fully ok with keeping the covid-19 certs if it means we can go to restaurants/bars/gigs from Friday.
As mentioned we need to live with this yoke now, cases are going to go up and down, but the fact over 70% of hospital cases are non vaxxed it shows the vaccines are working. We know the vaccine doesn't stop people getting it but it will reduce in hospitalisation for the majority of people. We have nearly 94% of the population with at least one dose, what more can we do.
Think majority of people would have no issue with showing cert alright if it meant 100% capacity pubs and gigs etc. It's no inconvenience at all to show cert for the few seconds. Think it was always ambitious to try to remove everything in one go so if that's the very small price it's no hassle at all. Will be interesting to see if things can go go 100% capacity with it.
I expect nothing less, than full capacity for music events, coupled with, covid cert to gain entry, a relatively minor inconvienience, plus i and many others have become used to showing it now, at gigs, restaurants & pubs.
They can’t wait anymore - certs on entry is apparently enough to minimise risk, and we can’t he held to an indefinite timeframe, by less than 10% of adults, who made a conscious & deliberate choice.
Repeated Enouragement has totally failed, so its time to take the gloves off, and take a tougher approach, and those who made that choice, can live with the consequences of that choice, and can have their own little mini lockdown, outside, in the rain and cold.
Its unfortunate, but its where we are now.
Yep cert check will just be another protocol going in
Security pat down
Covid cert check
Ticket scan
Enjoy the gig
Bar/merch and food places will be hard to manage but they were always crowded
But nope going to gig in the 3Arena is too much for our hospitals
This is not good news on the gig front

What does that even mean?
Full capacity Gigs are a high risk activity according to the experts and not giving fair treatment. UK arenas booming
That article has nothing to do with anything I asked you.
They are being given fair treatment, all indoor events are subject to 60% capacity, And UK arenas are not booming, they are barely scraping by relying mostly on local comedians. If we could pack out the 3 arena with Tommy tiernan, he'd be playing there next week.
Supposed to be going to 2 shows in the Grand Canal between Nov and NYE. Hard to see those happening now.
I've a show on Sunday in Vicar Street but really starting to sound like it may be impacted. Will find out today anyway.
Hopefully more reschedules and not cancellations.
Ive a gig on friday... midnight show too...ugh, its been rescheduled easily 7 times now
I think on balance, all events will go ahead as planned.
There is virtually no risk to fully seated events - not going ahead, and in reality, a slight risk to standing indoor events.
But i firmly believe, they cannot go backwards, just continue with certs on entry, and reiterate that entry protocol - has to happen.
The only events i can see at a slight-risk of being curtailed, are the largest venue - 3 arena size, could be at risk.
Yeah have gigs on Friday and Sunday. One standing and one seated. Guess issue with gigs is if there's no drink a lot won't be wearing masks but think risk reduced with vaccine certs. Could be tricky as some may have bought without having a vaccine but that was always taking a chance
All restrictions lifted on outdoor events.
Indoor events can only be attended by those with vaccination certs.
Woooo
Roll on the 3Arena gigs
Seated only it seems
for indoor live music, drama, live entertainment and sporting events audience/spectators should be fully seated (standing permitted at your seat)
From https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/58d28-statement-on-covid-19-public-health-measures-19-october-2021/
No use for smaller venues like the Academy, especially for gigs at short notice.
