Relaxation of Restrictions, Part XII *Read OP For Mod Warnings*

This is conspiracy nonsense, the NPHET decisions are in broad agreement with other measures taken globally. Netherlands close pubs at 5pm, are they also mounting a campaign against the downtrodden masses?

Should have shut down the pubs altogether. This wave is going to **** the country up and it's about time people started taking it seriously.

With the 12 close ,it was last call 11:30 and off premises by 12.. I have a wedding on tbr 30th and the bride and groom have been advised..

So I'd say its 7:30 last call. Out by 8..in any pub I have been outdoors, they pour your last drinks into plastic cup and you can take them away ...I think that's a better idea than necking 3pints in an hour. So not take away pints as such..

I'd say some businesses won't reopen, tough times for hospitality

Well, I'd been planning to go down the country for a few days "staycation" after Christmas.

Not much point with an 8pm curfew. Instead I'll be saving my money and spending it abroad somewhere in Jan or Feb.

Great work, lads

Reading through the recommendations of the "Towards Excellence" report it is beyond rational thought how ANY of the Pandemic pronouncements of CMO Holohan and HSE CEO Reid can be taken seriously. At some point these individuals and their support mechanisms will HAVE to be challenged.

Mad,is'nt it ?

They don't have to vote on the extra restrictions. They can ram all of this through because of the "emergency" legislation. (which they did vote for).

But we both know they would have voted for it if they had the opportunity. Complete spinelessness.

I have a suspicion you'll find much of the modelling used by these people is of the Bertie Aherne school..."Back of an Envelope".

Absolutely, I can’t believe the reaction this decision is getting on here. We could be in for an extremely serious few weeks and these measures don’t go far enough to prevent anything aside from maybe slowing the spread a little.

Probably the easiest way to administer vaccines for future variants is to add it to the water supply like fluoride.

No doubt the 3 Amigos will be expressing sincerest regrets , sadness and empathy later at their useless spin conference, alleged supports announced with no details, they'll depart on their extended break and not hear a whisper out of them until the new year.

I've a simple question, Where the F**K are the opposition in all of this charade , barely a whimper out of any of them all day 🙄
