The voice of reason, as always.
Oirish people are gas fuckers in fairness.
No youâre not as qualified as anybody else because you already stated that you donât really enjoy or value Christmas the way most people do.
Youâre a very intolerant person to contrasting views.
Itâs one Christmas in all likelihood. We have already sacrificed so much more than Christmas and its only going to be one Christmas.

Stop being so reasonable, glas canât get his head around that.
FFS, youâd swear tâwas the end of the fucking world to postpone a trip home for a couple of months. The irony being, itâs a perfectly reasonable and sensible thing to do in the MIDDLE OF A FUCKING PANDEMIC, which is something @glasagusban loves to remind everybody of.
17% of the people living in Ireland are immigrants. Should any of them be allowed fly home for Christmas to their families, or have people visit them?
17% of people born on the island of Ireland live abroad. Should any of them be allowed home to their families?
Why Christmas?
Yes is the answer to that and has been for some time now.

Because people find it to be a special time to spend with people they love.
So should restrictions be lifted for all public/national holidays or just Catholic/Christian ones? Easter, Paddyâs day etc etc
Thereâs no real restrictions in place anyway so itâs all the one.
Thatâs a generalisation. I donât see why Christmas should get special privilege when weâve all sacrificed so much to apparently beat the virus.
If this is the strategy weâve taken then we canât let Christmas get in the way of that. People have been unable to bury their loved ones but letâs have Christmas because a few people canât wait a couple of months to come home. Itâs one Christmas, weâve sacrificed everything else so Christmas should go too.

People canât attend funerals or visit loved ones in hospitals. Flying home for Christmas can take its place on the list of shit that people need to deal with this year.

You should throw on a hairshirt too. Couldnât hurt.
If they can do so safely and according to guidelines, then yes. If not then I would hope they would exercise some common fucking sense and postpone for a bit.
What @Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy suggested was a perfectly reasonable and prudent course of action under the current circumstances. You got your knickers knotted over it. Own up to your hypocrisy FFS.
Your the only cursing and roaring and the only one with knotty knickers.
Government have banned pints.
Iâll be very clear I donât really care about anything anymore Iâm completely miserable over the whole thing but itâs a bitter pill to swallow if the pubs/restaurants open for two weeks around Christmas and people return but itâs agreed we will be going back into another six week lock down in early jan.
I genuinely wonât accept that.
Youâve two options for me either allow visitors return but keep pubs/restaurants closed or else impose strict travel restrictions and allow the pubs / restaurants open for Christmas and remain open.
I for one canât contemplate another six week lock down. Pretty much all my family are abroad and itâll sad not seeing them but I think itâs the fairest way. People abroad in the main have jobs and roofs over their heads. If we face into another six week lock down in early January a lot of people based in Ireland wont have jobs to go back to. That isnât right.
Iâm willing to Do almost anything to avoid another lock down in early January Anyway.
