Shows where the mentality really lies with these types. It's damn all to do with saving lives and more to do with a hatred of GAA.

So the virus can spread like wildfire again over Christmas.

After careful consideration, I agree with her reasoned opinion. ;-)

No problem. Find the nearest street lamp, string yourself up by the angles and flip, flop and flap yourself to uncoordinated glee

I don't need a street lamp for that! One bonus of the lock down is that the general public are safe from me careering into them, stopping dead on steps in front of them or spilling drink all over them.

Ah lads can you not tell the difference between club teams where the whole panel and supporters go out on the piss compared to intercounty where most of these boys don't even drink plus there will be no where to drink anyway. It will keep a lot of people going through the winter.

Tell that to the county players on the club team here who celebrated their cup win with a pub crawl that led to several positive cases in the community. They obviously didn't get the memo.

I have lost my faith in the GAA. It greatly saddens me and perhaps in time I'll enjoy it again .

What is your problem with GAA? There are soccer games still on at all age groups why not have a pop at the FAI? Did ya not get picked for the team when you were younger?

There are no soccer games on at any level, bar professional.

They're tested up to 3 times a week, including within 48 hours before games.

Seems like they're not testing what they promised

If the GAA took the decision to halt everything right now, they would be highly respected for that I believe.

As it is, they have no respect from me. Do they really need to be instructed on this. Is it a money thing or what? Can't get my head around it TBH.

Their players are at risk, and since all are amateurs with other jobs it is not a good thing to keep playing. IMO of course. We all are suffering.

A few days ago, someone said on a local newspaper's Facebook page that the GAA wouldn't have gone ahead with the matches if it had not been promised money by the government.

They'll be queueing from tomorrow for Smyth's etc.

caveat emptor

It's clear that quarantine was used successfully in countries which have weathered this better economically. Make Ryan making the point that quarantine affects a lot less people. That guy who gave it to 56 people for instance. Don't know why we dismiss it out right. Wonder how many waves we will need.

There will be thousands of people permanently reliant on welfare after this.

It is drastically over the top and out of line with WHO guidelines

Shove your rolleyes. I never said GAA was essential. My opinion is you like having a pop at the GAA irregardless of the scenario. I'm sure you're going to follow up with saying the League of Ireland needs to be called off too?

There's no support for a lockdown this time around, people are fuming.

We can't just keep repeating this over and over until there's a vaccine...

Surveys have been saying otherwise.

It will work too. Just wait till the Cork gobsh*te has spoken and see the reaction online.

Hah, I meant nothing left for the country to run on. I don’t give a crap about Christmas.

Tens of thousands of likely job losses all to keep kids in school (cough....childcare) for 6 weeks. I hope it’s worth it. Who’d have thought that 6 weeks off school would destroy a whole generation of children

Lockdown ectoplasm everywhere!!!

Where do people reckon does this leave non urgent hospital referrals/appointments?

Twitter is toxic. Just people posting who think they have the latest news. Never verified of course. I give it a wide berth nowadays. Sick of the competitive nature going on.

What we DO need is a State of the Nation address from MM. Gawd help us. But then again that should have been done weeks ago. Better late than never, although he has no gravitas and will not convince many of the seriousness of the situation, or comfort those whose businesses are about to be shut down, together with the employees losing their jobs.

But hey, let the GAA go ahead, construction, meat factories and schools. No worries at all.

Only within 5kms so thats me and the oh unable to meet any friends as none of them are within 5kms

That’s the biggest joke really. I am still meeting other parents at the school gates, 3x a day, many of them chatting away without any masks, while we will only be allowed to meet a person from ONE other household outside.
And only moving 5km away from the home? I have to go to town and move around, between the school runs. That exceeds 5km.
These restrictions are so confusing!

All sport needs to be cancelled. If shops are closing and vast amounts of people are losing their jobs.

It's absolutely obscene. Do they not care about their own players?

The government are packing their bags for the Bahamas tonight. Instead, Daniel O'Donnell will be on at 9pm to tell us about nursing home guidelines

If businesses are being told to close their doors I don't see why sport should be exempt. It's double standard and extremely unfair, lot of these jobs will not be coming back, the gaa will.

I'd say you can forget about that. Probably have to wait til they become urgent and take your chances in a&e. Which will happen to some, no doubt.

In private hospitals most likely.
