Which is neither here nor there really. I havenāt looked at Constitutional law in years now but I think the noises are concerning.
The 5km is being maintained right now because they are worried that people will react to any changes and do what they like. Itās not a great use of emergency powers really.
Everyone has the right to protest. Not the right to act the cunt.
Worse than Harris. Hes from cork
Yeah I donāt think thereās appetite to test some of them alright
Iām sure we will see Emmett o Brien take this to the high court. He loves his photo in the papers
A 5km limit for such a prolonged period of time is one of the most disproportionate measures Iāve ever seen introduced for anything anywhere
Sure youād be a year before you got to the lower courts. Be a decade before you got further.
Not one journalist has asked for the AGs opinion on it afaik. Be an interesting one

āI remember that summer in Dublin, and the liffey as it stank no more,
And the young people walking on Grafton street, firing off fireworks at guardsā
Studies now showing you are unlikely to get Covid from touching surfaces but should wear eye protection.
Itās very hard to know how many of those protesting were
Iād say anyone who was there for #1 was probably least likely to give an interview or be at the front line of the videos posted. That said, there seems to be an alarming number of people in the second two categories.
I think the concept of just a lockdown with potential reviews in future and no specific direction isnāt sustainable. There is plenty of logic behind not signposting lifting restrictions but Iād like to see a firm commitment to a removal of most restrictions after a certain vaccination threshold has been reached and a timeline for removing all of them.
