Countries that prioritised the economy over public health will have a bigger price to pay and a longer recession.
Is that a fact?
Well they have more fatalities so I would consider that a bigger price. Maybe you place more value on material wealth.
It’s a very nuanced discussion.

And are you including fatalities from a bigger recession, stopping cancer screening, mental health issues from people being isolated, losing their jobs into that?

It’s far too early to draw any conclusions mate
TFK. The home of nuance
Despite the protestations of the doom merchants there will be an economic recovery. There always is after a recession. Hardly jumping to conclusions.
It’s a short step from nuance to nonce.

They could definitely look at putting some nuance into the outdoor crowd rules. 100 people in a small field and 100 in Croke Park are very different. Maybe base it as a percentage of total capacity
When will the first of the reparation payments from Chi-Na start to filter through?
It’s 200 people currently but your point is correct. Any field with a grass bank along the side can hold 500 with social distancing comfortably observed

Couldn’t agree more.
Can we put in a call for to Frankeen? He’d bend Micheal over St Patricks Bridge in 20 minutes. We’d have it at 1000 by tomorrow morning.

Please Doherty on morning Ireland this morning made clean shit of a few aspects of the government’s recovery plan, particularly the tax refund for tourism thing. Basically outlined that only those paying higher rates of tax get this subsidy, which really makes no sense at all. I’ve no idea why this method is preferable to giving vouchers which everyone would get equally. @tallback @gilgamboa?

To unlock savings which have risen substantially?

Good answer, but if you’re trying to stimulate demand you shouldn’t really be excluding people.
I reckon if you give vouchers people would use them and the money is spent by the government whereas the tax relief has to be applied for and they hope that people will forgot to claim and the goverment save that money
