You've no idea what the protests over there are about do you?

Their right to protest and more powers to stop them. Is this incorrect.

He clearly hasn't the foggiest.

I fear you've intervened too soon though. We could have had more gems

I love how the smug post is right below your answer to the question, talk about speaking too soon

Its not incorrect. The new Bill would mean from now on permission for protests would need to be granted in advance and could be outlawed. This would make one part of the Coronavirus Act permanent.

Why would any government need to make political protesting permission-only as a matter of permanent law? (Where is that confused emoji that some restrictions supporters like to use?)

Answer: because they are chancers who want power and control

Imagine what the protests in the UK would be like if they had our fools in charge, imagine Tony H telling them to try a little harder.

It's not a bunch of anti lockdown/vax heads, Niall.

You have the right bill, but seemingly no understanding of the context.

Or maybe you do. In which case your post about Tony H made absolutely no sense at all.

You pick

I posted about our government being in charge as well over there, which you didn't mention. Listen your getting a bit personal for some reason so leave it for tonight.

I don't know what your first sentence means.

Your second sentence is false. I haven't got personal with you in the slightest.

I'll qualify this by saying I have had a great weekend. I finally moved in with the girlfriend after a string of delays (mainly due to the government's covid 'plan') and a pub near me has started to do takeaway pints and I had a few guinness this evening that tasted like velvet.

However, I see my brother over in the US is on a golfing trip in another state away starting from today (two things that are denied to us), while he has been able to socialise, albiet in reduced capacity settings, for weeks now. It gives me pangs of jealously and frustration, particularly when our own leadership give us no clear plan on how and when we are getting out of this mess.

By the time we're as vaxed as the US, golf will likely be up and running again.

Or many of the golfclubs in Ireland will have been liquidated by then

People need to realise many of these businesses in Ireland have weeks left not months

Neagra

johnson and johnson, pfizer and astrazeneca, why cant the EU just buy them.
and then give the formulas to all big pharma companies FREE and then give them a choice - either you make the vaccines or you get the fcuk out of the EU zone.
what would be the cost - 750 billion? a trillion?
Bill gates could probably buy pfizer or AstraZeneca, J&J are much bigger- and he is always rattling on about saving the planet and poor people in africa.

the money spent by the irish state during this last year was enough to build 250,000 council homes.
would we have been better off shutting nothing and building those homes and just letting the virus go.
you would imagine no more then 15,000 dead BUT 250,000 homes?
given the age profile who would have died and the fact we have a serious housing crisis that seriously affects at least 1,000,000 of the population directly or indirectly.
that is a conundrum.

also King Leo is a doctor, why has no one asked him why he did not give up the politics temporarily to go back to medicine. i find it strange he did not, it makes me dislike him even more.

thats all for now.

I think you'll find that of all sectors, golf will be just fine.
I have zero concern for golf club owners.

He did reregister with the medical council last March

Spoke about shoulder to the wheel and joining the front line as if he was heading to Flanders

Took a picture of himself answering a phone at home and was last seen drinking tins in the park

Not the case.

Golf clubs cost nearly as much to run if members play the course or not

Of course many members aren’t paying the fees and the courses also made a significant amount of money from non members playing

The futures aren’t good in many of them

My husband's been back golfing here since last year, before the vaccine was even approved. It's not only since vaccines started that it's been allowed, I don't think it was ever banned completely in many places. Here they were only closed for 2 months or thereabouts anyway and were one of the first activities to reopen.

Not sure why you spend day after day here promoting doom and gloom and worst case scenarios.

I hope you understand you are not doing much for the mental health of people who read these threads but might not comment on these threads. The negativity is off the scales at this stage.

We are lucky enough to live in a prosperous country who can support it's population but you appear to want to provide nothing but negative news.

Well that's nice but on the other hand over 550,000 Americans are dead from the virus.

So swings and roundabouts

I'm all for relaxing restrictions but those suggestions have me completely baffled!! The nicest thing I can possibly say about them is that they are pie in the sky stuff! As for Leo he did re-register although this was a complete photo op at the time which everyone could see though

I think they've all gone a bit George Lee.

He finally got to them

People may need to wear face coverings and socially distance for several years until we return to normality, a leading epidemiologist has predicted.

Mary Ramsay, the head of immunisation at Public Health England, said basic measures could be in place until other countries successfully roll out jabs.

She also said a return of big spectator events required careful monitoring and clear instructions about staying safe.

Are these people just trolling now ?

Are they secretly loving just breaking people's spirits ?

Well, doc, you're probably a golfer.

I'm not, and I wouldn't swap golf for a huge number of extra deaths and severe illness.

I am of a mind to try golf though when it reopens. It must be ****ing great.

Actually don’t play golf.

I do enjoy been able to decide how to live my life.

Don’t require a nanny state.

Its basically just going for a walk outdoors.

How that creates a huge number of extra deaths and severe illness is beyond me. Is walking around a field a superspreader event?

The US isn't even in the top 10 in deaths per capita. But I'm sure its all golf's fault

How in God's name would opening up an outdoor non contact sport lead to a huge number of deaths and severe illness.

That's hyperbole at its highest.
