Morons wanted freebies. Sure did you see the survey after, more than any other partyâs support SF voters prioritised tax cuts over public spending. The vapid mindless insta generation who see others on holidays and in new houses online and want to be handed the same.

Singing songs will really help yeah. The âlook at meâ generation will love it though.
Its happening because Varadkar and Harris are too busy pretending to answer letters from âkidsâ telling them how wonderful they are and what a great job they are doing fighting the virus. Sickening stuff from the spin unit.

In all fairness there have been some tulips of every political persuasion elected in Ireland over the years.
We donât know the toll this is taking on otherwise healthy elderly people.
My parents are 84 & 80 and are home with just themselves in the house. Theyâd normally be fairly active, the auld lad still drives, and they have their daily routines. Itâs the disruption to same thatâs really hitting them.
The Mrs & myself called with shopping the other day and it was like that scene from Fr. Tedâs Night of the Nearly Dead as they almost pawed the porch door to see us. My father was in pyjamas and a dressing gown in the middle of the day - this is a man who wouldnât be seen in public without a tie and being clean-shaven.
Theyâre fretting about everything, rational or not. How myself and the Mrs are (weâre both still working), fretting about my brother in London, fretting about the dog being walked.
Itâs awful to witness. Hopefully weâll all come out the other side but the toll itâll have taken on the elderly could be severe indeed.

Thatâs horrendous. Iâve been trying to explain this scenario for 48 hours.
Yeah youâve hit the nail on the head. Even the active retirement events once a week provided some interaction and stimulation for some of the older generation. Living in fear and isolation can see a rapid regression in these people. People will say that thatâs better than them being in the cemetery but how much time does a fella in his late 80s 90s have anyway. Some of these people went for a game of cards or went to mass or whatever else and now they have to spend their remaining days in lockdown. If they pass away during this time of natural causes they now know there will be no people at their funeral. I think most people can live with this for 2 or 3 months but hopefully common sense can prevail after that and people can slowly get back to normal.

Youâd wonder if it went on long enough would even an active person in their 80s be able to return to normal or would they get too used to being house bound.
