No problem

Right now it’s been a 4 month curfew

Work - home - repeat

There is nowhere to go after 7pm in Ireland now anyway, I used to frequent the pool back when it was open

I'd have no problem with a 7 pm curfew either, and it might put a stop to the under 30s gathering and spreading covid for all in tense and purposes, it possibly is the way to go to put a stop to the rising case numbers

Less cases this week than last week.

Negative false news?

Christ such immaturity, do you think that adds to your credibility?

There is no social outlets open, no gyms or pools open, and it’s been freezing cold for the last 4 months with only recent improvements in the weather.

So personally I’d rather more business open during the day, than not open at all, it will also lower the economic cost of all of this

Example of negative false news which you haven't corrected yet to ensure other people don't read as fact.

I struggle with the lack of appreciation for what’s being sacrificed by this stage.

5 of the last 6 months restricted to 5km from home, going to change to only 10km until Summer likely.

And the belief that even making small changes will cause a wave seen when nobody was vaccinated, all socialising occurred indoors and a few thousand came to the country from overseas.

I think my replies have been fairly balanced can you point out where I have been immature or lacked credibility?

Over 30's can stay out till 8

I’d certainly have no problem with a 4 week one when compared to 4 months of what Ireland have suffered

Would you call the 7pm curfew a light lockdown if it was implemented here?

They get 10k between 6AM to 7PM. And between 7PM and 6AM they are allowed 1k with a pet.

Overall doesn't look any stricter to what we have had for the last 3 months.

You edited it wrong. Yet more false information. Hard to take anything you post serious if you can't provide genuine information.

No no, this person watches ALL the briefings and knows everything.

Actually no, they don't know anything, because they can never understand anything.

No, it doesn’t.

And the french didn’t have a lockdown like ours in October and November.

They even withheld from introducing this level of restrictions last week, with authorities in France acknowledging that the french citizens are tired and fed up.

Try living in Ireland lads

Véran defended the decision, questioning whether a full lockdown would be accepted by French people who were "exhausted by fighting tirelessly for a year"

Well done for managing to construct a post with out cursing.

What do you think about the current plan on the exit from L5 and what do you think should be changed?

Do you think\agree if there was a rise of cases if we move too quickly we could write off the summer with another lockdown?

So we in Ireland had longer and more restrictive lockdowns compared to the French, yet the French are tired and fed up and exhausted. Thank god they don't go to war with that attitude!

There is no reason why what’s planned for May couldn’t reopen tomorrow.

It’s incredibly cautious and taking no account for what the Irish have suffered for 5 of the previous 6 months.

If we continue to use lockdown as our only method and case as our only metric of controlling Covid there will be a risk

If we take account of all the vaccinations we won’t need another lockdown

It’s as if another month is no sacrifice whatsoever and something we should do “just in case”

I had to put this in for a laugh, but say you get stopped by the Guards at a checkpoint beyond your 5 KM and your essential excuse is 'I'm going to visit a grave, guard'. As long as they don't ask you what cemetery you are going to, you could just drive on and visit a Giants grave, couldn't you.

Yes, great idea, and surely they can't restrict the grave visit to any one religious denomination. As a believer in ancient Druidism you could visit many grave sites in the west of Ireland. I suggest for number one visit Poulnabrone in the beautiful Burren, with a picnic on the slab stones. The emerging of the spring orchids due soon.

If visiting a grave is deemed ‘essential’ travel and that grave is in another country, is it ok go visit that grave?

I have had some sympathy for them until now. Why do they think they can bully their way to be prioritized for vaccinations? What makes them so special to put themselves first over shop workers?

Going by the original plan when would they have been vaccinated anyway. Would a lot of them have been be on summer holidays under the original plan?
Flip side is, under the new plan, the older teachers who need it most will get it ahead of the younger ones.

A joke really,when this is over and done with they won't come out of it looking well. Fair enough any teacher with an underlying condition should definitely get priority,but why should a healthy 20/30 year old get priority especially secondary teachers who will be on holidays in 6/7 weeks

It is certainly OK. Any Guardaí I've come across will ask which graveyard.

Would be great to get to 30k every day once supply ramps up. Even better when it's 1 dose J and J. https://twitter.com/newschambers/status/1379016497335504905?s=19
