Positive cases mean nothing by themselves. The real metric are deaths and ICU admissions while accounting for lag. This pandemic is over!

BS.

The reasons why deaths are low is because the weak and elderly still isolating and cocooning.

The figures aren't great but could be worse to be honest. The figures are what we take our metric from and how we go about reacting to the situation. Don't wait until we start getting into 40-60 people a day dying. Don't let it get that far.

I'm struggling to think of a more explosive story than this in regards Irish politics in my 47 years. Government mightn't see out the week at this rate.

Why? The Irish will just blindly vote them back in.

I wonder will they be tempted to manipulate the figures down today, to ease the flak. MM is very invisible so far.

Maybe the photos will be part of the weekend's slant on this story. You'd have thought the Examiner will have kept something back to give the story an extra kick for the weekend.

I hope it's pictures of them ratarsed

I agree.
even the incident with the Chinese lady on the canal, cops said they would never find the *little sh1ts but within about two minutes they were traced back to the video.
SM is awful 99% of the time but for this it can be a boon if in non-crazy hands.

I actually applaud them, it's what everyone else is doing.

If we can't have a good night out because of their bull**** restriction then neither can them.

People blatantly flouting the restrictions they imposed on the rest of the country the day after telling everyone else that said restrictions were straightforward and not confusing.

It's all grand though because unrelated point about Sinn Féin.

I hope you're sitting down when you read this because it will clearly come as a major shock to you to discover that the event took place in an hotel! You know, one of those places with bedrooms and kitchens and serving staff and bars and all that fancy kind of stuff?

In fact, someone who is currently staying at the said hotel has already posted on this thread and, as far as I know, he hasn't mentioned having had to cook his own dinner.

No shock, I was been sarcastic. On other threads on boards posters are saying it was only x amount no need to get work up about.

So things that have yet to be queried by the media:

- Where did Big Phil reside prior to travelling to Clifden?
- Why was Sean O'Rourke in a clique with senior politicans while working for a state broadcaster?
- How many of the 81 travelled from Kildare/Laois/Offaly?
- Was Michael Martin aware of this event prior to last night?

Witness now saying no masks were worn at the event now.

What a surprise. :rolleyes: How much more evidence do the Irish need before they refuse to comply with any more of these restrictions? Why should we when the people making them can't even be bothered to follow them?

Why would they have had to wear masks?

Why would anyone there need to have made a contribution to public life?

The fake outrage here is hilarious.

The 81 may well be fined to appease the public.

Retired since May - do you think he became friends with all these people in the intervening months?

That's exactly why I feel that it would be the ideal mass media outlet for your views.
