Oh the cheek of those passengers! they should of been identified and sent off to the local Garda station for questioning.

'Guess what prime Time, maybe some of those evil passeners live in Lanzarote and were flying home to see sick relatives of to attend a funeral'

Im appalled at how things are turning out, how people are turning on people, and trying to shame them.
Getting a bang of Chinese Cultural Revolution off it, shaming and denouncing people

they are not public figures but ordinary citizens - it would be disgraceful if they were identified w/o consent

It’s gas that presumably those people had been away for the last couple of weeks during which time a frenzy of political and media lead ire towards travel was orchestrated. Very convenient that the blatant mis-handling of almost every other aspect of the governments handling of Covid related policy. Including not bringing testing for travel before Christmas when it would have actually saved lives.

The things you buy in your local Tesco, even if you order online, were on the back of a lorry at one stage. If you want the lorries to stop, sure just stop buying food and medicines etc. :cool:


Then if everyone stops buying anything, we won't need the lorry driver to drive their trucks and sure they can all go off on their holliers to Lanzarote. Problem solved and society saved.

No you miss my point. We can’t stop this virus unless we all stay at home until mid 2022

Focusing on a few travellers is just a distraction, what they do is irelevant

Wouldn’t be flying out to Lanza now, weathers too miserable. Dubai is more appropriate. Bitta shopping, beach, going for dinners. Ah lads, you’d miss it.

There was one or two spoke coming off the Lanzarote flight , one tall red haired & sunburnt bloke from what i recall. The other bloke was on about the pubs closing on the dot of six . Little did they realise how famous they will be for all the wrong reasons.

They have to keep control on it though. There are people who will always abide by restrictions. Then there are people who will do whatever regardless. The majority of people fall in the middle and those are the ones who abide by them, but get fed up or lax over time and need reminding.


So by reminding them, you are simply keeping the violations down and keeping those numbers low.

Dubai is a great place, spent many a day over there, even at 51c I loved every minute, one minute you are interacting with Russians, next some Filipinos and I had the most enjoyable taxi ride with an Iranian man another day. Getting an Indian head massage daily. Dubai is a bit like visiting a dozen or more countries all in one.

Mid 2022? 18 months away? NZ managed to beat the virus in 6 weeks, there's no reason we can't

You'd have to feel sorry for him in fairness.

Absolutely it’s a distraction to convince the public “ you are doing something “ because the real truth is far too harsh to tell you.

Miriam possibly believes that more more 'Lanzarotegate/Anything Covid related Gate, will push her very own 'Partygate' down the totoem pole in peoples minds.



Wrong , Miriam. We still remember.

"Hey Miram, remember that time you got together with all of the RTE overpaid 'stars' and had a party with no social distancing or mask wearing and while the country was entering another brutal lockdown"
