Makes me think of a quote from an interview I heard once. It was something along the lines of “I don’t get any satisfaction from other people’s downfall and I’m not going to make an exception for that ballocks”.

John Cummins spokesperson says he will make himself available for interview at an unspecified date! So sometimes never then.

Wow he must be busier than Trump. The damage is well done by now. There is absolutely nothing he could say that will excuse what he did or make him in any way an asset to this city.

It would be nowhere near as bad for him as it is now if he did an interview on Friday. Instead he went into hiding. Talk about digging a huge hole for yourself. I don't see how anyone could vote for him after this.

Yeah, Fcuk CoVid. Together we can achieve herd mentality, I mean immunity.

Im only speaking from experience here but I have been in 8 pubs over the last few weeks in Waterford, some that always served food and some only serving food in order to open, and I havent once been told to leave after 105 minutes. Granted, they arent all in the middle of town so not mad busy but its as if they are just clinging to any extra cash they get from the few extra drinks.

I cant blame them I suppose, id be the same, but it was funny- I decided to stay on for an extra coffee when our meal was over last week and so I was just at a table alone, I definitely expected them to say something along the lines of "We have to stick to the time limit.." but nope, they were sad to see me go! As I said, just my personal experience.

well we could try another social experiment, such as the earlier stages of our educational system is trying, and see what happens....

those in broadband black spots will have problems though!

That has been my experience too.

I've seen the Gardaí at one hotel 3 times over the past 2 months due to over crowding. Are these places actually being penalised? When does a repeat offender get a more severe penalty?

sounds like theyre trying to give the gardai more powers here, unsure how i feel about it, but in some sense, it makes sense

The day a pub is actually closed down for breaching guidelines and have their license removed is the same day im going to hell for a nice cold holiday...

There is no incentive at all to follow the rules since pub closures are rarer than hen's teeth.

Is there any breakdown between city and county.

Broken down into wards but if the number is very low it will give a general number rather than the extact. Plus the hub has not updated their map since 12/08/2020

To be fair to the chap, maybe he's self isolating, due to the covid, I ll give him the benefit, I'd say that's the reason!

If entire departments of multinational companies can work from home since March I'm sure the boyo can arrange something for 20-30 minutes to answer some questions while "isolating".
