Coronavirus - Here come the variants

And most of the world neither knows nor cares about it.

Its a complete farce that nphet are left unchallenged. We are devoid of leadership. I donā€™t care how qualified you are or what position you hold, you have to be open to challenging your views especially when your opinions effect all of society in order to tackle one particular issue. Without considering the wider impact and possible effects

Strange comment.

Israel has been removed from the list but D/Health are insisting she still has to stay there. Itā€™s utterly ridiculous. I think thereā€™s quite a good chance the court directs the department to reconsider the operation of the scheme, taking into account the principle that the measure should be the least intrusive necessary to achieve the desired aim.

Itā€™s not a strange comment. Itā€™s a fact. Britain neither understands nor cares about Northern Ireland and it fucking owns it. Itā€™s quite an achievement to have 26 other countries wholly on your side and invested in the importance of it when itā€™d easier for many of them to appease Britain. Honestly, youā€™re giving credit where itā€™s not been earned and giving none where itā€™s due.

If you canā€™t get in with a vaccine and a clear test then it never ends

Compliance is the big mantra. You must comply to restrictions or everyone dies. Comply to what we tell you and donā€™t ask. Its not our fault its kids having play days, college students partying, pubs, people visiting friends and families, going to the beach, sharing cars going to a club match, the Dublin and monaghan football teams training.

If you comply, get a vaccine cert you will get a vaccine bonus of some freedoms. I might sound mad but we are not far off giving people indicators of their vaccine position like a glorified star of david

Coveney wouldā€™ve done a lot of the day to day running of the brexit strategy whereas Leo wouldā€™ve done a lot of pressers, photo ops and some Council meetings.

Like I said coveney did a lot of the heavy lifting, thatā€™s not to say varadakar didnā€™t do some work

Not a snowballs chance given Leoā€™s inability to understand the word ā€œlimiteā€

Heā€™s well regarded in Europe, heā€™s in the right political grouping, and crucially it may be approaching the stage where his party think their electoral chances are better off without him. Watch this space.

It was always going to be an EU wide approach. And the border issue suited the EU to hang itā€™s hat on. Iā€™m sure that the EU would have rather keep Britain in and the border issue in the North potentially threatened that as it gave a means to a back door into the UK from the EU. It actually threaten to derail the whole thing with suggestions of a second referendum. It was huge - it still is with the Northern Ireland protocol.

Kennyā€™s means of keeping everyone happy is a way of operating. I admire Varadkar for standing up to Brexit, in effect saying you canā€™t mess with the Good Friday Agreement and there are people with the UK who are Irish as Taoiseach I am recognising that. He made enemies within the utter scum of the DUP but that was always going to happen. It was about time someone stood up and made a direct statement. He stuck to his word too. As mentioned the likes of SF commended him on it which says a lot.

A fudge will be done allowing her out and allowing vaccinated people avoid it would be my prediction

Honestly, that is exactly the type of reaction Varadkar was looking for from his playing to the gallery ego driven ā€œsticking it to the Britsā€ type remarks, and youā€™ve been completely taken in by it.

Conceding she is detained is interesting though. If we get it the position that people are denied entry based on entry quotas, I canā€™t see how this will stand up.

I donā€™t agree. It was a diplomatic coup really.

I would be critical of Kenny but that is a achievement he can hang his hat on.

Honestly youā€™re talking shite.

Canā€™t see it, heā€™s gaffe prone and leakgate is still hanging over him

Luckily lorry drivers donā€™t catch Covid and are exempt

Youā€™ve seen whoā€™s there currently right?

You donā€™t seem to understand anything about brexit or who did what, but you think Varadkar did a good job because he mouthed off to the Brits a few times. Thereā€™s only one person here talking shite.
