The house parties are back on this weekend.

I was planning on having a few friends over this Saturday to watch a match we're streaming since, ya know, we can't attend. I was gonna have around 10 or so over. When the 6 people in 3 households ruling came in, I said to myself ''f*ck it, I'll abide by that'' because the numbers have made for grim reading as of late. Most the lads were happy enough and was only gonna bring two mates from close-by for a few cans.

Now this makes me feel like a buffoon for trying to be responsible about things. Why would ya bother. That's what it feels like sometimes. I will have the smaller crew over but I can see why people wouldn't be arsed self-policing now if these dopes aren't doing it themselves.

It is not the job of any Commissioner to represent their country.

That is not their role.

These are the dangers of the unelected in such important roles.

Phil's "apology"/explanation isn't washing with the commentators on R1 anyway.

Evidently, but there are people who think his continued influence in Europe is to our benefit. I posted this to show them that it’s in fact the total opposite.

My Dutch friend just sent me a link to Calleary resignation. He was saying their PM didn't visit his dying mother because it was against the rules at the time. That's setting an example. This government needs to go it's a shambles.

Although he should have visited his dying mother after resigning.

full thread from Leo

"The event organised by the Oireachtas Golf Society should not have happened. I understand how extremely difficult the restrictions have been for people and the enormous sacrifices we have all made
Funerals, christenings, weddings, family holidays and other really important family occasions have been foregone to protect each other and the most vulnerable. As representatives we should lead by example.
In recognition of the seriousness of this matter, I have removed the party whip from Senators Jerry Buttimer, Paddy Burke and John Cummins. Senator Jerry Buttimer has also resigned his position as Leas-Chathaoirleach of the Seanad.
All have apologised profusely and accept they made a serious error of judgment."

Leo is p!ssed.

How do you not understand this?

What's with your desire to uphold the honour of the political classes when they show how little regard they have for the riles they set for the rest of us normies? Whatz the angle. Are you just arguing for tge sake of being contrary to the general mood?

No, they are definitely not coming as he vigorously shakes his head.

This isn't a serious error of judgement. Let's be clear on that. It's showing the people of Ireland the two fingers.
