So staycations are grand.... But avoid hotels if possible.

What a mess. He's a terrible frontman, instills no confidence at all.

In relation to the Berlin brunch, I see from the ticket it was a 3 hour event, what happened to the 105 minutes or were they operating via some loophole?

The substantial meal was...a baked potato

It's a kip it has been flaunting rules for weeks with opening times and numbers inside.

I think Mehole might be after catching the BO-Ris-19.
Symptoms include mumbling, waffling and communications being limited to ones anus.

No, it's the exact opposite in fact.

Was that said? I missed it and have one booked for an area with little to no reported cases.

So gyms can have an exercise class indoors with only 6 in attendance but pubs can go on as before.
Seems totally outta kilter.
Wonder if a gym with a little cafe shop can just open as per restaurant guidelines so they can have more people?

MM getting lots of credit in my whatsapp group this evening.

He’s leveling with the people and seems more on top of his brief.

I was overly critical early doors with him. Head and shoulders over the last clown to hold the office.

Honorable mention to Eamon Ryan too. He has steadied himself after that below the belt ambush from Catherine Martin which she ended up losing

Was hoping someone would ask where's Leo

Have a holiday at home, but avoid hotels, campsites, areas with more than 5 people, if you're in a caravan or large tent don't invite anyone from coming over... don't go to the pub and don't bring anyone over 70..

All totally ignored the question has there been many clusters or cases with outdoor sports in recent weeks?

Just to be clear as well, we still have no restrictions on inward travel, nor testing of people coming in.



But let’s tell all the old people who have been restricting their movements to keep restricting their movements

It's a minor element in cases at present, clusters and community spread are a much bigger risk. You also can't just announce something like that on a Tuesday evening briefing.

Leo is probably somewhere with his feet up and a whiskey, laughing his arse off at the car crash. I'd say MM is not loving being Taoiseach now...

I'm seeing a breakdown of cases by age and county but no stats on how many of the 190 were CT

Anyone know?

I don't think it's classed as a group if you're the only one in it.

He isn't online or with anyone in my WhatsApp groups...MM is a disaster.
He didn't answer a single question with a proper answer

How do you know? The origins of infections is never made public.

I know for a fact that a current outbreak in the country is linked to a family who have returned from Greece.

Donnelly said they are going to mass test all of them when he talked about random airport testing.

Aye, but only recommendations so you're grand. Just doing something to be seen to be doing something.

Go and enjoy your holiday as you planned before and don't mind that eegit on the TV. Obviously take all the necessary precautions as before.

Tipperary animal lover

Watch about 5mins of MM there, he really likes using the saying "in terms off" couldn't listen another to the blundering eejit

You can just picture the common room of every nursing home in the country now.

All the inmates sitting around in a circle being told to restrict their movements.

landofthetree

Look the facts are our health system cant cope with what's coming from late Oct till mid summer 2021.

We are screwed as a nation. We will be in lockdown till a vaccine comes along. This isnt going away.

It's the second half of 2021 before any chance of things returning to normal.

Yea that seemed odd, I thought Holohan just sent the Govt. an email and they followed his instructions to the letter without discussion...
