Some come to the window on the passenger side, are polite and courteous.

Others are rude,arrogant and unprofessional.

Same as all professions I suppose

Edit: in fairness the vast majority are polite and courteous

Correct so it's entirely plausible that one's wearing masks are not approaching.

I will approach at times but then I also wear a clean mask and I am of course polite ☺️

And 2 of them were standing right beside wash other.

What difference does that make? They work together 12 hours a day inside a car and station. Masks in the open aren't doing ****.

Sticking your head in without a mask is a fair grievance

Disagree- it well publicised in advance that there would be a heavy Garda presence- this prevented not just idiots protesting but those who would have dared venture for day trips to local scenic hotspots outside of their 5km limit- there’s no real bad news this evening on riots etc and that’s success in my book

how dare they venture!!!
the absolute ignorance of them to venture with the threat of that 99.9% survival rate hanging over them
the courts should take their homes and the pensions let them see out their days on a leper colony

its 98% by Irish numbers.

thats 100 thousand people if we just let rip. If thats your stance, so be it but thats a lot of deaths. The law of the land is still the law of the land, Enacted by the democratically elected government and enforced by the sworn police force. If you want that law revoked, speak to your local TD and vote accordingly

(I once again need to mention that there is no magical 5km limit though. That is only for exercise and absolutely nothing else. You cannot travel any distance for non essential reasons)

It's only 98% if we detected every single case.

you are a garda , I accept this.
But seriously "the law of the land" :rolleyes:

However I wish you backed me up on the other thread , when I made that very point that you need a reason to leave your house and if stopped that reason was validated by the agents of the state. Some nay-sayers didn't believe me

That said we can debate all day (but I'll spare the others)

1. what is a covid death? From covid or with covid
2. The 2% in Ireland is based on almost 230,000 KNOWN positives- I'd say it ripped already - it's likely to be a factor of that based on other studies.
3. The nursing home residents (and the obese) are unlikely be to out and about on my venturing. The risk is minimal, more risk to peoples lives me driving down side road to avoid the garda checkpoints.

thanks for your service, I hope you enjoy my taxes.

Multiple. Probable 3-4x.

A factor of 230,00 would by definition be less than or equal to 230,000

On behalf of the poster you aimed that at, and having heard similar working in retail. It's the cringiest, most irrelevant thing in a debate.

Say that poster earns 1.5 million in their lifetime. 5 million people in the country.

You've contributed about 30cent to that posters entire salary in your entire lifetime.

Hell, let's double it and presume my 1.5 million estimate is way off. 60cent to that posters salary. That they then pay tax on and goes back into govt coffers.

I'll pay your share. Do you want cash or cheque?

And of course, that person pays plenty of tax himself

I dont back people, I back comments. If I saw your comment and agree with it, I would back it. I probable just didnt see it or agree with it. Dunno

We can only work on the known, I understand your arguement but you cant reply on unknown presumption to reach a percentage of 99.7% and just expect acceptance. Lets just suggest at the moment that the known numbers are 1 in 5. Thats approx 1 million people that have had it. 5000 have died. Thats still not supporting your 99.7% number even with allowing for an extremely generous amount of unknown infections.

Why wouldnt the obese or auto immune be out? why wouldnt the older and more vulnerable be out and about? Please, explain how you reach this conclusion and factor in that you are arguing in favour of reducing restrictions so people will venture out more if you have your way.

Yep, law of the land. Not sure why you are your supporters are against that. Its just a simple fact. Not believe in the democractic system? Think we should be allowed ignore laws we deem wrong? Again, you can let your local TD know and vote accordingly. I shall do likewise with my views.

You are welcome but I have yet to encounter someone who makes that cringeworthy and pointless comment that paid more tax than I do. Generally they also completely fail to realise that we all pay eachother either in tax or by purchasing from their company and so on and so forth. Of course you work in a sector that relies on neither public or private fundingand rake it in, right?

Why the fcuk would somebody in a retail setting say similar to staff about taxes? That would be weird as fcuk.

Unless you equating taxes and consensual discretionary spending?
miles apart , mon ami. Maybe even alternate universes apart.

If you had my share knocking about spare, fair play you are doing something right.

i thought you meant me. apologies. I was mistaken.

wages that are paid of tax money don't generate tax just that wage is taxed.
you take 3 euro out of your purse and put 1 back. You haven't added to your total

But I promised the mod i'd be nicer so I'll leave it at that.

Global economics is a lot more complex than that.

Without public funds there would be nothing to pay you with. (If we are being simplistic)

Go into Dublin and drive around for a few hours. You will see plenty. According to the Waze app there are currently 4 within my 5km

One on Sundrive road yesterday evening, another in Harolds cross this morning.

Checkpoint back on the M4 Westbound motorway at Maynooth, traffic already back to Celbridge. They weren't talking to anyone that I could see, just have it blocked to 1 lane. I really feel sorry for anyone facing into that after a days work.

Is the pointless exercise ever. I had reason to visit the commercial park beside the Applegreen yesterday at tea time. Heavy traffic coming from the motorway and going right at the roundabout to head for Maynooth. All they've done is make people find alternative routes.

They're giving out gold stars now to motorists who have everything in check.

Can you ask a Garda for their details if they are rude to you at a checkpoint?

People will go mad if those checkpoints are still there tomorrow morning.
