@Copper_pipe has sorted it.
I like McWilliams and thatâs a good article.
One thing to note that wonât suit the agenda of the âOIUTFâ crew on here, is that Irelandâs version of âlockdownâ has been extremely light compared to what most of Europe has experienced. We have not had to carry a form outdoors stating why we were not inside, we havenât had a limit on how long we can be outside at a time, we havenât had a curfew, etc. So while weâve had far more days of what we called âlockdownâ itâs been nothing like what lockdown actually was at various stages in lots of Europe.

Look mate, as a civilized ordinary decent man who wants to open up thereâs really no need in the world to bring Nazi or very far right ideology into it, discuss on its merits.
Unfortunately (and I mean that sincerely) for you and like minded people it is the case that the far right are in agreement with you, and are likely using the situation as a recruiting ground, targeting the disaffected is a king standing policy

Yeah we have discussed this a few times, I hate that they are in the arguement for OIUTF but using it for their own agenda. Its scary how people into that trap
Limerick letting us down again
McWilliams just needs to come up with a catchy nickname for the LIDTF merchant, maybe âUnder the bed Manâ, and the OUITF counterpart, âShebeen Manâ.

The poll in todayâs Sindo will hopefully put the shits up the government. Anything less than last summerâs âfreedomsâ from late May onwards will be unacceptable to the electorate.
Martinâs White House photo opportunity is on the line.
Not to worry. Claire will ride to the rescue tomorrow evening with a correct poll.

Last summerâs freedoms by May, pubs and everything else open by June, july at the absolute latest.
There is absolutely no way that the same restrictions as last summer can be acceptable, weâll be vaccinated, there has to be a dividend. Irelandâs summer last year was for more restricted than most of Europe.
How is this new poll so different to RTE polls? I was under impression most were in favour of restrictions but this wasnât very representative of what people I know feel about them.
They administered 30K doses on Good Friday so 250K a week might be attainable.

Very naive.
We have missed every vaccination target so far. Forecasts are being revised downward on a weekly basis.

I used to find him very good but then I started listening to him more and find him the definition of a stopped clock âŚ

Forecasts are in line with supply. Do you think targets should be kept at X when supply is Y? That wouldnât make sense.
I donât suppose that anyone is correct about everything but he is very insightful and, I think, very good at rejecting orthodoxy and instead drawing conclusions based on facts. I think weâd be in a better place in a lot of areas in this country if we followed his advice.
But shur the clock is stopped for well over a year now

Maybe people disapprove of the government response because they want even more restrictions
Germany and the Netherlands have suspended AZ use for over 60s. Unless Iâm mistaken, Ireland is still using AZ only for under 65s due to Tony Holohanâs solo run. Or has this been corrected yet?
