You are a fool if you donât believe NPHET are calling the shots here.

âHoranâs successor, Larry McCarthy, said the GAA will urge the government to lift the ban on children playing football and hurling once schools have safely reopened. In his first address, the Cork native said the lifting of the restriction would have a threefold effect.
âIt will get our children engaged in organised physical activity with their friends, it will allow the parents a slight relief from the stress of the pandemic, and it will bring fun back into many peopleâs lives,â said McCarthy.
Horan had earlier said the issue had been raised with the Minister for Sport on several occasions. âBut weâre being pushed back by recommendations coming from NPHET, unfortunately,â he said.
From my readings of this forum over the past few years you were never really the âon the side of the underdogâ type though? Maybe I have you wrong now and donât ask me to prove it but I always had you as more of an establishment type of chap
Not talking specifically about TUM here but comfortable middle class fellas talking constantly about the mental health of others and how they worry about how the lockdown is affecting poor people seems to me to be very âwokeâ and âvirtue signallingâ behaviour.
I expect childrenâs sport will be back with the next review. No question that NPHET have more influence now since they were overruled in December. But I believe thereâs a strong push to get kidsâ sport back and I think it will be.
If shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs were open then Iâd be in them. If I were as anti lockdown as some of you pretend Iâd have been at that protest yesterday.
