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

Thanks for the reply.

Our hospitals are always overloaded though, what has been done to improve that?

Spoofers and **** charlatans, if NPHET is to remain then everyone attached now needs the boot - especially Tony. Enough is enough

We could be in for an extremely serious few weeks if the Gulf Stream does a wobble,or a Volcano in North Wales erupts...that's about the logic of this Fear peddling.

This viewpoint would really be best-served by making up a sandwich board,painting the front message "HERE COMES COVID" and the rear facing one "THERE GOES COVID" and cycling around one's parish ringing a bell. (Apologies to Oliver J Flanagan Supporters everywhere)

If Countries and their peoples are to ever regain the right to freely exist,which has so easily been taken from them under the guise of various pieces of "Emergency Legislation",then NOW is the time to push back against the lunatic fringe !

Anyone know What time is the usual media questioning of the 3 “leader” on at? It’s usually on RTE NEWS channel after the announcement

That's his ego talking ...he's hardly gonna admit..he wanted 5pm and lost ...its like watching Mean Girls..rule our lives..

I spend all day and night in the same 4 walls mainly as there is very little open or to do and the WFH mandate so I like getting out and having somewhat of a social life. I don't like it being me and my wife forever in the house with nothing else to do cause its all cancelled.

Yep, fair point. We're nearly 2 years into this though, has there been ANYTHING to increase capacity for future pandemics or simply so current staff are not being overloaded. This is not at you btw, I keep hearing it takes time, etc to do it. But have we actually done anything to future proof we can be in a better shape when a pandemic inevitably happens again?

When it comes to third world countries and getting jabs in arms, there doesn't appear to be a concerted world effort in place to get out of this and I totally get variants will happen. Until then, we have no answers really to getting out of this.

That's why I'm asking, what's the point of it all?

Fair play to the lads for standing up to Tony and getting us 3 hours extra in the pub.

46% of ICU is unvaccinated with a new strain arriving…. I’d be very careful if I was unvaccinated….

Fully vaccinated x3. Love a social pint, have been doing lots of 14 hour days for the last 3 months with a break at Christmas a welcome prospect.

Agree with tonight's decision however.

None of it makes any sense whatsoever

This is going to seriously harm the booster campaign as well

People have been given no hope. Sure it doesn’t work anyways .......I got mine Tuesday and have felt like **** for 3 days now

If I could go back in time I wouldn’t bother

O very very cosy, this must be the first time I've ever seen CMO at one of these press conferences, and they seriously want us to believe this wasn't planned 😳

The Gag didn't last to long did it Leo 🙄
