They were pretty sharp to write in laws with regards to 5km, not leaving your county, 'house parties' etc. etc.

Not forgetting the emergency legislation they tried to rush through the system to outlaw drinking takeaway pints outdoors on cold November nights.

They were fairly snappy when it came to trying to put a stop to that, if I remember correctly.

So like I said ban flights from these countries until it is up and running. They stopped flights from Britain after Christmas in an instant and CTA didn't matter at all. Austria only EU member on list. Just ban flights from these countries until its ready but they're too slow,thick and lack initiative.

Have you see the list of countries that have to quarantine?

Besides S.Africa, Austria, and Brazil, it's a load of remote sub saharan countries that has barely any travel infrastructure. It's a ****ing joke. More cute hoorism and pretence from those self serving charlatans.

They should be crucified in the media for this lark, but they dont seem to be held to account by any of our journalists, bar a few outliners.

they're probably terrified we'll lose our open arms, progressive, non discriminatory, cosmopolitan culture badge...we were it with such pride!!

They're dragging it out in the hopes a drop in cases will lessen the requirement for it's implementation, there's so many holes in it, it's doomed to failure, just one breach gets to the daily mirror and it's goodbye, everyone will loose the plot. they'll feck it up and just tack on another 9 weeks for joe public...

They banned flights from Britain on the drop of a hat and they have a common travel area agreement. So it not difficult at all. They can do it in the click of a finger.

Can I ask what flights are they supposed to ban? Are there direct flights from red list countries? If there are flight from those countries are there passengers from those countries or is it connecting only?

Ok numbers, would have hoped for 4 % positivity like one day last week.

Aye, selectively pushing through legislation in the blink of an eye yet bleating about "cívil liberties" when dragging out the hotel quarantine question for months. Meanwhile, if we're good lickle boys and girls the daily tallies will gradually taper off by mid summer. Some are pushing the "look at the cases, cases, cases" narrative to the exclusion of everything else. Newsflash, I ain't buying it. There is more nuance at play than that, some of us (shock horror) are capable of discerning the bigger picture. We're becoming the laggards of Europe with respect to administration of vaccines. ICU beds per capita? Shhhhhhhh...oh look over at there cases have fallen by a miniscule percentage this week. Have yourself a biccy look a good automaton. Some patronising waffle being dished out here day after day, and I wouldn't feed it to the dog.

easy now Bertie, any contrary view is likely to have you thrown in as an anti vax MMR=Autism and Homeopath lover!

That legislation was quietly dropped. Like everything else, it was complicated. Instead the Taoiseach sought and received agreement on a voluntary approach for the current lockdown.

It’s quite comical that I type these words, but Micheal Martin could learn a lot from Boris Johnson in what the PM has just announced

Here’s some low or no risk activities we are permitting from now (most of which are being done already anyway like meeting up outdoors)

Here’s a date for other activities which are conditional but here’s the conditions.

Proper order. No information vacuums like the gigantic one here. Might be time to examine the 5km bull**** before there’s minority compliance with it.

There were people drinking pints outside a pub in Rathfarnham that I passed yesterday.

A Chinese study last April made the same suggestion.

I can't see level 4 happening without a few delays, but.... There is no reason why we can't have a similar timeline, 2-3 weeks behind them.

Fair point. It’s a sad day when BoJo makes you look bad! Also - I saw a couple of interviews over the weekend with other UK ministers and all refused to speculate on rules or timings and just said ‘wait until the announcement on Monday’

mr zulu

Fair dues to the UK road map, listening to Boris giveing the English great hope, mean while in Ireland, Al we have is doom and gloom.

Step 4 sorry

Step Four will begin no earlier than 21 June, at which point there will be no legal limits on social contact, enabling nightclubs to reopen and large events to go ahead.
