Micheal Martin as a leader wouldn't fill you with any confidence whatsoever.

He's a spoofer.

Yeah, the communication around all of this has been muddled. Glynn never gives up information easily anyway!

He's quite good actually. Took over the job in very difficult circumstances

I've heard this a couple of time "lets be clear" or "for clarity" this is clear as ****ing mud.

Why did MM say he was taken aback by the measures he witnessed in a church he’d been to recently.
Surely that’s a good sign.

He should be renamed Mixed messages MM.

Must be and house parties because that's all they've been on about.

SimonTemplar

My guess is that Leo was due to attend that conference but something came up at the last minute, so MM asked Ryan to stand there so the podium wouldn't be empty.

Gardaí Shut Down Meat Factory Pub Operating As A School

https://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2020/08/13/gardai-shut-down-meat-factory-pub-operating-as-a-school/

Hopefully no
Thank Christ no underage shotgun weddings took place during the incident.

Lads I'm absolutely thrilled with the government, I dunno about you but I think things are really looking up. Completely assuaged any worries I had, it's all in hand now that Captain Fantastic and the Rambunctious Crew are leading things. We really have the upper hand on things and I can't wait for the next few weeks. xxx

Lundstram

Half hour extra to sit inside a pub drinking and eating with others but completely ban people from attending outdoor sports events.

You couldn’t make it up.

Oranage2

Crazy to think Gardai could close down a pub because they walk in at the wrong moment and someone is acting the bollocks

A skill all politicians master but our lots vocabulary always seems to be limited.

normanoffside

So basically, there have been some huge outbreaks caused by food factories and direct provision centres so we are taking some measures that in no way relate to the problems just to look like we are doing something about it while ignoring it.

Will this close the likes of centre parcs again?

He had to finish watching Mean Girls 2.

Always_Running

That was car crash viewing lads. A number of back log cases conveniently added into today 190 total to run with the new measurements in place. The last 24hrs had 31 positive tests.

Sporting events behind closed doors is without a doubt a stupid decision.

Father Hernandez

So if you want to have a party with your mates, one of you has to get married.

Sorted.

And my answer is the same, mass testing elsewhere. At 3 case out of every 100 it's not really a huge priority. They are planning to do random when the next batch of mass testing of care homes and meat plants is done.

BonsaiKitten

Fair dues to the sign team. By far the most competent people on that stage today - and that's without being able to fúcking understand them!

He said that first ,then he went on to say “even at John Hume’s funeral Mass in Belfast”....

Christ any person watching that press conference will probably be even more confused than they were originally.

Just have open air mass in the local GAA club to coincide with the next match .. problem solved .. 50 allowed then

I think Glynn is capable, but Tony definitely had more authority. The change in personnel overall has not helped us.

They are stopping people going to sporting events so they don't meet before and after, while facilitating people to meet more.

The more confusing you make it, the less people will buy into it.

Still 105 minute limit per table so the extra half hour is literally irrelevant to everyone bar the restaurants themselves who may be able to take an extra table and make more money in a difficult time. Don't see any issue with that at all.
