The restrictions in Dublin are working a treat

TheUlteriorMotive · September 28, 2020, 5:19pm

Where will they blame if they cannot blame restaurants.

TheUlteriorMotive · September 28, 2020, 5:20pm

No mention of Level 1 for any county either.

Tank · September 28, 2020, 5:21pm

The government will blame itself and resign

A good few of them are back in campus/college accommodation so it could spread easily enough through house parties.

Thomas_Brady · September 28, 2020, 5:27pm

Ban alcohol

Smark · September 28, 2020, 5:29pm

Are you sure he mentioned Limerick as one of the counties staring at level 3 restrictions? Yesterday he was praising Limericks numbers.

The article on the journal doesn’t mention limerick at all just the other four

@Copper_pipe what is this nonsense 14 day case number looking like now?

Smark · September 28, 2020, 5:34pm

Limericks numbers are spectacular the last two weeks, what the fuck are they on about? Yesterday they expressly praised limerick.

Batigol · September 28, 2020, 5:34pm

Can they double close the pubs?

dodgy_keeper · September 28, 2020, 5:36pm

Making it up on the hoof. A total mess.

Fagan_ODowd · September 28, 2020, 5:38pm

In fairness you wouldn’t expect to see any benefit from the restrictions in Dublin until next week.

Copper_pipe · September 28, 2020, 5:39pm

Going by this we’re doing mighty

Batigol · September 28, 2020, 5:40pm

Really? Is this not day 9?

Fagan_ODowd · September 28, 2020, 5:41pm

It is indeed, but you wouldn’t expect the numbers to start coming down for two weeks.

I don’t expect the numbers to come down but that’s not the point.

Julio_Geordio · September 28, 2020, 5:41pm

They were locking down Limerick and Tipp a few weeks ago. Fuck all changed in either and yet hey presto numbers went down

Copper_pipe · September 28, 2020, 5:44pm

Batigol · September 28, 2020, 5:44pm

I don’t either.

I’d have thought all those people who were probably getting it in restaurants but we can’t be sure and can’t be arsed finding out (cc Philip Nolan) would have noticeably dropped off.

Tim_Riggins · September 28, 2020, 5:51pm

The concerted campaign trying to capture the youth has been cringe in the extreme.

If they hadn’t spent the summer overegging the risk of standing in the likes of Dame Lane having an outdoor drink, maybe they’d still be listening.
