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

It won’t stop there. If they succeed expect more demands in a week or 2. They don’t want the legislation expiring.

Fourth day in a row with Claire Byrne arguing for masks, this time with the Taoiseach

Covid Claire in overdrive

I think the gov are just sick of covid now, they know most of the voters don’t want restrictions back and they have bigger problems now with the war and rising cost of living. The only people really pushing for it and the health interest groups like cystic fibrosis Ireland and few healthcare worker unions which is understandable I suppose, they have to represent their members

With the money the HSE gets every year I'm surprised no one has asked that magical question yet, "explain how with all the money you get that our health service can break down so easily?"

Claire Byrne is like a goalkeeper running up for a corner at the other end of the pitch in the 94th minute.

If the government did cave for the mask mandates would that mean they would have to extend the legislation from midnight? Or can masks be separated from the restrictions legislation?

I still cant understand the Claire Byrne position, surely she knows people who want to wear a mask indoors or to bed can do what they want. Why must they want everyone else to wear one. If you want protection for the virus go and buy the recommended mask so then you are safe and don't worry about anyone else catching covid

I heard a bit of Claire Bryne this morning, fair play to the government for standing their ground and not caving into the media hysteria

There was a video link on the RTE app MM being interviewed by her. You shoukd have seen the puss on her when MM wasn’t giving in.

Does anyone know if she still lives in the garden shed?

It's a strange one, he's usually quite populist in his thinking

How many times do people in this thread need to hear that it's not happening? The last few pages are full of people saying, "if they bow to pressure now then..."
