Nope, this will go on to March again

Ah heckling in the background of the RTE report there!

Was there another speech on?

castletownman · 03-12-2021 07:15PM

Fella shouting "RTE is a virus" in the background of the live report outside the Dail.

The most truthful thing said on the news in almost two years.

Dempo1 · 03-12-2021 07:15PM

Publicans will be happy enough🤔 Restaurants will just ignore this albeit bookings lost , Night club sectors will be livid.

Father Hernandez · 03-12-2021 07:16PM

Best part of the RTE news bulletin was the heckler in the background - "RTE is the virus."

MM speech as inspiring as a wet sock.

Dr. Bre · 03-12-2021 07:16PM

A tearful speech

thebaz · 03-12-2021 07:17PM

Not one person has died from new variant - Martin is a weak weak leader - no backbone - We as a society agreed to vaccinations - 94 % of us and we are now treated as children by Holohan and our **** leader Martin.

Hellrazer · 03-12-2021 07:17PM

Why arent the VFI, LVA and the Hoteliers not telling all their staff and staffs families to march on the dail and lock the city down in the next weeks leading up to Christmas until they lift these idiotic restrictions. Id say they could get 100k plus out there if they put their minds to it.

Unless we go full on Netherlands we`re going to be in this for another year - we`re a very weak nation.

Lol, saw that although I do like Mary Regan , felt sorry for her

JRant · 03-12-2021 07:17PM

He gave a detailed breakdown of what's happening in SA. Means fook all to me though.

Looks like we are under heavy restrictions for the 3 months. Not because of what's actually happening but what the models are projecting.

03-12-2021 07:18PM

Am I the only one who finds his Addresses to the Nation utterly cringeworthy and totally embarrassing?

He's speaking as if we're in the middle of rationing during World War 3.

I couldn't finish this one. His own level of self-importance and condescension is way too high this time.

Are weddings reduced to 50% capacity? I assume dancing won't be allowed.

Its pretty clear now its government vs the public. The divide between the two now has never been as wide. Martin also on his way to being the most despised public figure in recent memory.

PTH2009 · 03-12-2021 07:20PM

Now is the time for Serious protests but that's not going to happen

Its interesting that some users who labelled people as doom mongers here have suddenly disappeared

titan18 · 03-12-2021 07:21PM

How do events that have already sold tickets work the 50% stuff?

You most certainly are not alone in this thinking, all that's missing is an additional box beside the sign language box, with the CMO in it, pointing his finger at MM as he splutters utter nonsense.

Dempo1 · 03-12-2021 07:22PM

He's already there re being despised 😁

Hellrazer · 03-12-2021 07:22PM

He never mentioned a "meaningful Christmas" this time!!!

Stheno · 03-12-2021 07:22PM

Was there any mention of an end/review date? All the leaks suggested 9th Jan

JRant · 03-12-2021 07:22PM

MM saying they follow the science. We are all in this together. He's a gas fooker all the same. Throwing a few jokes in for the laugh.

BruteStock · 03-12-2021 07:23PM

I can't stand bullies and that's what the government has become. The hospitality sector has been unfairly picked on endlessly since the start of the pandemic. Makes me sick living in this country.

Ah it is Jan 9th

It's not clear at all. Boards isn't a reflection on society as a whole thankfully. Most people understand and appreciate the difficulty of the situation for government and the health service.

If its that Odious Karl Broderick, you go on every media outlet possible, moan and whinge and get a few €100k in government outs to shut you up.

C__MC · 03-12-2021 07:26PM

A spineless government

January 9th for a review on lifting them, 2 weeks for a review for imposition of more

No Irish language section in the speech tonight either - he loves that bit normally even though 99% of the audience would be saying "what?"

Clearly very rapidly thrown together with high focus on patronising the people and bland meaningless statements of "following the science" (when all they're doing is following NPHET's guesswork - something previously shown to be wildly off)

Dempo1 · 03-12-2021 07:26PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118264792#Comment_118264792

I heard 9th of January, not confirmed however if it 2023 🙄

Quags · 03-12-2021 07:26PM

People laughed at the protests, didn’t believe the government would **** them over, sold a promise that a vaccine was the way to live again.

We are now entering a lockdown in all but name in a country where over 90% of over 12 are vaccinated and the median age of death is 80

You can guarantee you’ll have people pissing & moaning if another protest was organised cause it’s the anti vaxxers acting up again. Tonight the Gov has lost more backing but you’ll have some people who think this is the right thing to do
