I think he makes a very clear concise argument there.
Leo has complete faith in the servile snivelling lickspittles that form the majority of the electorate. But hes judging this badly. If there’s an outbreak of basic common sense sometime in February, his date of March 31st will stand as a reminder of what a spoiled little narcissist he really is. Even @mikehunt will abandon him

Hold on there now, don’t be lamping me in with the zero covid loons. You snakey bollox.
Zero Covid comprehensively won the arguments.
Lifestyle head the balls who had no skin in the game other than wanting their precious pints are still seething at that.

It’s kinda cute seeing the let it rip merchants scrambling for some respectability but we knew they’d eventually be right. Thankfully it has only taken 3 variants.
There’s space for about 1,800 more posts in this thread.
The only question now is whether we’ll actually need another one.
It’s like a Holocaust denier citing the low number of Jews exterminated in Nazi death camps in 1946 as evidence that the whole thing didn’t happen.

When the restrictions end, it’ll no longer be socially acceptable to lie on the couch all day trawling through twitter.
As Freddie Mercury once sang…under pressure…

Covid in Ireland: restrictions could be lifted early after fall in cases
All public health restrictions will be re-examined after a sharp fall in Covid-19 cases this week and some could be eased before the end of the month, government sources have said.
The cabinet will meet today to discuss the potential lifting of restrictions before Nphet meets tomorrow to review its advice to government.
A senior government source said that “everything was on the table” with discussions taking place across departments to see if some measures could be eased sooner than the end of the month, adding: “No decisions have been made at this point.”
Stephen Donnelly, the health minister, said yesterday that restrictions are “likely” to be relaxed ahead of schedule but must be lifted in a safe and balanced way.
He declined to speculate on specific measures, such as the 8pm closing time for pubs and restaurants, and told RTE 1’s News at One that the government’s decisions on restrictions in the coming days would provide certainty.
Donnelly also said data on Covid cases, hospitalisations and patients in critical care with the disease have remained steady and indicate that the country is past the peak of this wave of infections.
“I think it’s likely that measures will come in before the end of the month. Then it’s a question of what is the best and safest way of unwinding those restrictions in place,” he said.
Donnelly said he was hopeful that the legislation underpinning the government’s use of emergency powers during the pandemic would not need to be renewed once it lapses at the end of March.
It is understood that Leo Varadkar, the tanaiste, is supportive of an end to legal restrictions on March 31, but that extending the powers until June remains an option.
It is also understood that he believes the mildness of the Omicron variant coupled with a high level of immunity among the general population means the country is in a strong position for restrictions to be eased quickly over the coming weeks. However, it is understood that Varadkar believes some measures may need to be kept in place such as wearing masks in crowded places, isolating at home while symptomatic and producing Covid passes for international travel.
The Department of Health yesterday recorded 5,767 new cases of Covid-19, down from 6,329 on Monday. A further 5,916 cases were also recorded from positive antigen test results logged on the HSE portal on Monday. There were 979 patients in hospital with the virus, down 27, including 93 in intensive care, down four.

“This narrative that is developing around meaningful summers, none of us want to hear that. That’s bad communication. Nobody should be talking about summer. We are concerned with February and March,” he said.
