Enda Leo, sorry I mean Mehole does NOT come across good when answering questions

Ronan Glynn seems to be the only one who can answer a question straight. No emotion just an answer.

Probably why MM is letting him answer for him

Sport can be as important to older peoples mental health.

Sport is good but before and after behaviour not so good is where the restrictions are aimed.

Meanwhile in Wuhan.

Europe's policy on this is rubbish or else China have a vaccine.

Or China lies on the figs and almost every vulnerable person in the region died?

I'll be honest, my grandmother was treated very well with plenty of dignity and respect before her passing and I'm appalled that someone would refer to her as some sort of prisoner of an institution.

My granny has MRSA that she got in the last three months and there's a case of covid in her home and I haven't seen her in six months so I beg to differ.

He doesn't does he? I didn't like that snide "I'm not a public health expert...perhaps no more than your good self" from him there. Getting snippy because they're pointing out the ridiculous flaws in his plan.

That's sad. Hope she is well

Why is Eamonn Ryan even there.

Electronic forms still not operational

Surely just throw up a page on the hse website and work away ?

Any word on the greenlist or will they conveniently not update it?

Did they say anything about deaths today?

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

there was clear coordination, so Tony could say that the gov agreed to everything they recommended... by negotiating the content.

An under 14 game of hurling with 30-40 people attending outdoor is more of a risk than a wedding, funeral and mass.

WOW.

Eamonn was doing a crossword and had a few minutes to spare

I wouldn't say flaws in his plan. He just isn't very good at presenting stuff.

Where has it worked well ? I go during the designated time and everyone else is also allowed in too ?

Well I can only speak for Waterford and Lidl on the Tramore road specifically but people seem to be cognisant of the message (as put out by Lidl themselves) and so don't go in. I've not seen any "family" units kids running about etc in a while now. Their hours are 9 - 11 am.

The fecking sound is abysmal again.

She doesn't know about the MRSA. The cancer is enough.

Leo was halfway through “the Lindsey Lohan teen movie boxset” and threw a tantrum when asked to do the press conference

“Loike.....that’s SO UNFAIR....you’re not the boss of me dude”

Just back from a trip to Rome. Great atmosphere, everyone enjoying the lovely weather, great restaurants and bars.

Everything operating normally including all the museums and historic buildings/ monuments (with good adherence to sensible Covid 19 restrictions everywhere).

Lower instances of Covid than here, though they had it very tough earlier in the year.

Seems we have become a bit overwrought. Time for calm thinking and a longer term strategy that doesn’t shift each fortnight.

Donnelly announced over 2 weeks ago that randomised testing at airports would be introduced, so whats happened to that process?

I think they should bus the school children into the meat plants for a sporting event and marry them all off to each other.

Did they say a roadmap on the 13th September?

tscul32

Do you think a group of cub scouts going on a hike is a sporting event or a public gathering?

theballz

Are people assuming FG were against this or has any legitimate source confirmed such?

Just hop on a Ryanair flight with 188 other people and ask the pilot to circle the GAA pitch so people can spectate safely...!

Mass testing of meat factories is what's happened.

Because no one from FG would go and MM has to make it appear that the cabinet is united in this

How do they honestly expect anyone to comply with the new recommendations after that ****show?

Looks like funerals can stay at 50 too.

They also got a bailout to the tune of 80 billion. MM went to Brussels and brought us back an extra EU budget bill of 2 billion a year

Calm thinking and a steady voice. I disagreed with Tony Holohan on aspects of this but he had enough of a politician in him to ensure that there was reasonable logic and structure to recommendations to ensure smooth transition through Cabinet.
