    It's probably sensible legislation, looks similar to the "Plan B" legislation they have in Westminster. If used properly it is not a bad idea

    I'd be surprised if they ever implemented it given the way the numbers are going and the way numbers are likely to go in the future. Of course I was surprised with the 8pm closure of pubs we had last Christmas so maybe my opinion is not the best example

    If they get the masks back in, the nutters will want something else.

    Best not to entertain covid nut jobs.

    Was at green day the other night in Marley Park and still nut jobs wearing masks. Pulling them down to drink a pint or eating food.

    Still lots of Mrs Doyle loving the misery types around my town wearing them.

    Why is this thread so active? Isn't it the case that all legally-enforceable restrictions have been relaxed?

    Yeah but weren’t you the guy that was of the opinion that there were no restrictions as long as you just didn’t do any of the things that were restricted? Something like that? Of course you’ll deny that…..

    They're surely readying the masks for the winter flu/COVID season

    It's times like these I'd want holohan back to steady the ship

    Politicians and unions is a bad mix when it comes to restrictions

    Surely they'll never make a mask mandate permanent?

    "If used properly it is not a bad idea' This would be the issue I would have with, I don't trust the government to use it properly. Given how they extended and over used severe restrictions throughout the pandemic, particularly in summer 20 and 21, I don't like the idea of them being able to bring in mask wearing whenever they feel like it, whether that is to appease unions or cause deflection from other issues.

    What's your point caller? I'm not bothered about some legislation that might come in at some point in the future that might not be needed. It's not the end of days like some are painting it.

    I'd be bothered about it

    It'll be sitting there now ready to be turned on

    Is there any buffer between unions and government , just the CMO?

    There are chunks of the Health Act just sitting there and never used. Politically there is no downside and some on that spectrum would favour more draconian, even current measures. The decision would be a recommendation via the CMO and whatever group is providing input. That said beyond health environments and public transport there seems to be little else that might be at risk.

    Yes, I'm glad you picked up on those 9 words in my initial comment, the first three being the important ones... That too is where I have fears, and I'll bet the legislation won't just mention facemasks, cue another Christmas of 8 O'Clock pub closures and Munster V Leinster being played in front of 500 fans

    Just a tad overly dramatic there I'd say. No one is even mentioning curfews, capacity limits, and/or distancing.

    I see this legislation as a start of further restrictions. A foot in the door to give it a further shove open... I really hope I'm wrong but I'm just going by history

    Can anyone hazard a guess what form further mask mandates would take

    Would they be short term measure when needed or what's the likely scenario?

    Such as recent history where they removed all restrictions? When most on here were predicting restrictions forever.

    I know this proposed legislation is not good news, and should be rightly viewed with cynicism, but some on here really love to think the worst all the time (not necessarily you OP)

    I'm more thinking about how at various points in the last 2 years they had plans such as living with COVID, not going back on reopening etc etc

    I'd like to believe masks will be the only thing to be reintroduced, if at all, but history doesn't support that ideal
