Do you know how many flights are hitting Dublin daily compared to last year?

I do. The information is freely available as are passenger numbers.
If you haven't gotten my point at this stage nothing I say will help you get it unfortunately.

They have tiny numbers of cases and deaths though and that’s their priority and should be our priority also.

They tanked their economy for zero covid and couldn't manage it, not a situation we should be replicating......

So restaurants and pubs are allowed to open under level 3? But just not in dublin/donegal level 3?

Where does this come from?

Won't they all be closed all over the country except for outdoor or takeaway service?

Never bother with pubs but I haven't been in a restaurant or cafe or even bothered with takeout since last Christmas and I'm surviving.

What the hell is it with people and their insurance on going to pubs, or travelling unnecessarily during this pandemic?

The way some went on until pubs reopened you'd think their lives depended on it.

We so have off licences. Even supermarkets that sell alcohol.

If your mental health is dependent on going to/meeting others in a pub then you're in a sorry state.

There are sections on this island that are complete ¥0$$€r$, don't care, have never cared, no doubt didn’t watch the Taoiseach's speech just now. It won't change their attitude. I could say cop on here, but, they won't be frequenting sites like this.

I didn’t watch the Taoiseach either- I’ve heard it all before, it’s all been tried before, none of it works. An utter waste of time and money we now don’t have.
Feel free to disagree with any of that but it’s the cold hard reality. If lockdowns worked we wouldn’t be repeating them, over and over. Nothing Martin has to say will change that.
This is an endemic respiratory virus that can’t be controlled by endless daily press conferences and every other futile measures they politically try to foist upon us.

Hahaha! He also said, back when he had his medical before the presidency, that the doctor told him that he couldn't believe how fit he was. Fittest president ever. Believe me.

Some people enjoy the food, drink and socialising. These are things that keep people going. Just because you do none of these doesn’t give you the right to take them away or ridicule their importance for others.
I find your kind of dismissive attitude a hell of a lot more distasteful tbh

Actually, its more of an epidemic in Ireland, not a pandemic.

Says in level 3 that pubs cafes and restaurants are open with additional restrictions for indoor dining. When you look at level 4 it says 15 people for outdoor only - based on this dublin would be on level 4 in terms of bars/cafes/restaurants

You're clearly an introvert or somewhere in the middle of the range. The kind of social isolation you're describing is the kind of social isolation which legitimately leads to extremely serious mental health crises and self harm among extroverts

Plenty of ways for people to talk with others so they are not isolated. Ever heard of the telephone, email, zoom,FaceTime, WhatsApp,Skype etc???

While it's not the same as in person, it's not isolation.

These are all jaded boring rubbish at this stage. People enjoy and need physical human interaction. And it isn’t obligatory either, if you’re uncomfortable you don’t have to partake

The level 3 additional restrictions for indoor dining/drinking is outdoor dining/drinking instead, limited to 15 people. From midnight tomorrow any restaurant/pub that can't facilitate this will be effectively closed.

It’s all so confusing !
What about hotels ? It says “services “ are for residents only
Are the bar and restaurants “services “?
Is indoor dining therefore allowed ? We have a 2 day break booked in our own county in a coupe of weeks .
If the restaurant and bar are open to residents we might still go
Sounds like it will be nice and quiet !

And I did all of these things, multiple times most weeks proper to the virus outbreak but I’m doing just fine without them until it’s safe to do so again.

We even managed without takeaway from March to June and did all our own cooking again from people who got takeaway twice most weeks. The off-licences never closed either and I’d say I’ve single handedly filled one of the brown glass bottle banks such is the amount of beer I’ve gone through since early March all without setting foot in a pub. I love the pub but I have no problem staying away until the pandemic is over.

Resignations for having a different opinion to the government?

Seriously, that's not how things work.

The leak last night was wrong and they've clearly had their knuckles wrapped.

Government have taken a chance today but not following their advice but if the government have gotten it wrong then they may end up following their advice in the end.

According to Level 3 restrictions, Hotel guests are limited to "essential" guests and not "leisure" guests. They'll be in touch with you or you should get in touch with them to clarify.
