Apologies to @Copper_pipe I see you posted this already
The Indo were busy sending a reporter down the country looking for a story last week. The reporter was sent home with their tae in their mug though.

Iâd say casteltroy is off the charts for fines on its own 
Hopefully the last of these articles we will see. Very unfortunate. At least the article seems factually accurate on what to expect from the vaccine and will but any anti vax argument where it belongs, in the looney bin
Iâd say theyâre travelling from far and wide to go to College Court. I know a lad that was never near the inside of a college up there last week

Leaving the lazy âanti vaxxâ slang to the one side, do you really think an article in the Irish times is likely to end all concerns about all vaccines forever? Even one that âseems factually accurateâ?
Not at all but it would be an easy target to say the vaccine doesnât work. It lists the timeliness clearly and the date that states how long until the antibodies are expecting to take to be functional. An outbreak in this facility a week after the vaccine is unfortunate but the vaccine isnât effective straight away, which all the data from trials support
I havenât heard anyone saying it doesnât work. I might even take it myself once trials etc are complete.
Wonderfully inconspicuous policing in St Anneâs Park this morning. The Garda car, with hazard lights on, crawled into the park down in the corner by the coast entrance, proceeded uphill past the back of the playground and around onto the main avenue. They went up the avenue for a couple of kms to the Sybil Hill Road entrance, turned and crawled back down. The park was packed full of people in big groups, walking/running together, training on the pitches in groups and so on, but they just tipped on slowly without engaging with anyone. I think this was an example of Gardai displaying their presence to encourage people who are already breaching restrictions not to consider breaching restrictions.

Some loo lahs in the replies.
No laws broken. They are right to go ahead and have their wedding. Iâd hope the Garai police all such occasions with the same discretion.
You might as well leave it off mate, youâve uncovered the acceptable face of TFK curtain twitching, falling over ourselves to defend the College Court crowd 
But sure the Gardai will do nothing about thee funerals, right??? 
Thereâs simone biles levels of mental gymnastics being performed

Lovely blue skies there, there is a mixture of a gale force wind, hail and snow in the west.
Jesus christ, letâs make it clear the vaccine didnât cause these deaths, its unfortunate that an outbreak happened within a week. That is the most logical reason here.
There is a section of OIUTF in the general public that are straight out morons, anti vaxx is moronic. The only way out of this and to open back up is the vaccinations. The method of reopening is the questions and challenge, not fighting the vaccine rollout. If your OIUTF and are not willing to take the vaccine your a moron.
Afterwards an adult conversation is needed on treatments and prevention for most illnesses. Its clear from the under 70s deaths and severe cases of covid that lifestyle is the issue (outside of long term conditions). Obesity, lack of vitamins and living a balanced life need to be addressed.
So the usual clinical trials etc were a bit of a cod? The trials that ran for a few years ti see if there were any ling term side effects? Is that what youâre saying?
Trials were rushed, but its clear from the rollout the vaccines work. Real world data. Long term effect who knows.
