Thatâs exactly what we did. It didnât work.
Call me bitter and small (not literally obviously as Iâm quite the physical specimen) bit when I think of the man who tried to micromanage every aspect of everyoneâs life for the 15 months seething as he looks at people enjoying themselves outdoors (as per his instructions), I smile
I suppose Iâd be thinking more of the front line workers who donât want to have to face another wave, and the businesses who donât want to have to face another backslide in restrictions. But sure if people want to laugh at them, thatâs their right.
How can you actually say your fighting for businesses. You want them to remain closed.
Businesses need to remain closed so that they donât have to be closed.
Update from Northern Ireland:
-Waited for pub but once inside no SD but everyone had a seat.
-Mask wearing is more or less optional, most donât wear them. Thatâs in all stores. No masks in social settings.
@BruidheanChaorthainn its a much better option than Kerry.
or to round up an extra player or two!
Most business people Iâve spoken to want to open. In fact all of them do
The likes of Grogans on South William Street there have been closed for 15 months now. Theyâve been closed before Tony Holohan discovered the wonders of lockdowns himself, theyâve been closed when we had 4 cases a day, theyâve been closed when we had 5,000 in a day and theyâre closed now.
I donât think businesses are going to buy this bullshit from NPHET anymore.
And be kind, stay safe, stay at home wear the green Jersey, weâre in this together wasnât? All the curtain twitching?
What kind of a country are we living in at all
Lad from DCC on the radio earlier lambasting the young people and the pubs in the Dublin City Centre area. What fucking cheek. They have been closed for 14 months. Also are these streets not pedestrianised by the DCC. What did they think would happen.
Weâll surely have a knee jerk reaction tomorrow, by our weak politicians. Big Tony has spoken.
Half the kids are drinking cans anyway.
I have some degree of sympathy for DCC as I donât think you can turn your streets into a regulated beer garden overnight but they havenât helped matters.
Open the beer gardens, increase the number of bins and relocate Guards from fining people at the airport.
Malahide, Porto and Howth mobbed. SuperValu full of youngsters buying boxes of Heino to go to the beach.
They will have to start closing off the pedestrianised streets with barricades. When the crowds displace somewhere else like Phoenix Park, Stephens Green, Marley Park they will have to close off those too. Young people may eventually get the hint and book some holidays in Santa Ponza and Ibiza and spend their hard earned PUP there.
If you read the thread, she goes into the paper and basically destroys it.
Fun and socialising needs to be banned to help us beat this virus - which currently has 90 people in our hospitals out of 5,000,000.
Open the pubs
Shoot Curtis
No one could have foreseen it sure. Only everyone.
