There is an outbreak in a nursing home in the bishopstown area, there have unfortunately been a few deaths there over the last week or so from the virus.

I feel for anyone with relatives and friends in care homes during this pandemic

Meehole has been used all year for him, Mr. Burns comes across unlikeable but sure all politicians do, lie and promise so much, sometimes we all need some little laugh no matter how silly or childish

I could be wrong, but it looks like if you close all social outlets for people, they will create their own. Maybe humans are sociable animals.

I think only RTE workers can social together without consequences

It’s actually a very mild night and not cold at all. Ideal for street drinking.

Town was buzzing today, there were people everywhere. I reckon loads came in to see the lights and for their kids to post letters to Santa by the GPO.
I saw groups and families of all ages just hanging around, it was the closest thing to a normal Saturday I’ve seen since we went back to level 5.

Also lots of lights on in shops with staff getting things ready in anticipation of reopening, was really good to see and I hope it’s a positive sign that level 5 might be lifted next week.

I know gangs of people in their 30s all heading for take away drinks tonight... all with the same way of thinking that they are sick too death of having healthy people locked up in home. I know a lot won’t agree but I say fair play too them, least if the bars were open things could be on supervised basis

Micheal Martin said during the week that this Christmas the onus will be put on people to look after themselves and I tend to agree. If you're confident that you're not affecting others with your actions then I think people should do what they wish.

Seems bizarre that you would think its a positive sign that town was buzzing today and there were people everywhere .

The risk of people walking outside is virtually zero.

Seems bizarre to me that you’ve deliberately completely misinterpreted my post.

I said seeing the lights on in closed shops & staff inside preparing for reopening next week was good to see, and a positive sign that level 5 might be lifted.
Do you not agree that that’s a positive thing?

It’s a very positive thing. I was in town this morning and it was much busier than last week. Definitely noticed the shops getting ready to reopen. Delighted to see that and looking forward to a bit or normality over the coming weeks.

The trouble with 'people being free to do whatever they think is safe' is that many haven't a clue or care less and that affects us all.

If you look after yourself and avoid risky areas then I don't see how that makes sense.
We're ridiculously close to the end of this, the government can't hold our hands forever.
