Least of our worries. Did you really think they would go ahead? The virus is to blame, unless you have some magic means of reducing cases sufficiently to allow sport fully reopen.


Edit. To save the click bait "England set to be handed at least FOUR more Euro 2020 games with Uefa braced for Dublin to pull out as host city"

Jokers. Another backlash hopefully.

Barcelona had 5000 people at a concert (indoors I believe)

Overrated immunologist. I'm sure he is good at what he does, at what he is employed to do, but that's about it.

Add a smile to a scientist and it's amazing what it does to your career. Brian Cox in the UK, to give an example - a man you would be forgiven for thinking was on cocaine on a double daily dose.

Luke O'Neill is a pretty amateurish version by comparison.

Just as annoying, but equally as amateurish.

The Irish capital is believed by senior Uefa figures to be the most likely city to be unable to give Euro chiefs the guarantees they have sought, leaving the Aviva set to be stripped of its games.

Why are all the other EU countries able to give a commitment?

Why can 5000 people go to a concert in Barcelona?

But cool Luke can play guitar and sing

He understands the pain of his mates in the Entertainment industry

As bad as he is he actually reins in Pat Kenny on his show every Thursday morning

Pat likes to talk about stuff like plumes of Covid exhausting from cyclists, O’Neill is actually a voice of reason on that show

Sadly it's NPHET way or no way. Absolutely no reason not to revert to 15 outdoors for pubs and restaurants immediately.


Yet these clowns whine on about the precarious situation, the new virus and of course the variants.

And what qualifications do you have that makes your opinion greater than those in NPHET?

The problem with Brian Cox is his optimism. "Things...." he keeps saying, "...can only get better"

Luke O'Neil saying 25% occuputancy indoor dining in September

Go away out of that

That would be disastrous for the economy

He's usually optimistic too

That insufferable grin is still plastered to his face, "we'll knock down the walls and have a pint together". Sound Luke, with your millions you can call the round. And he was joined tonight by an anonymous pharmacist by name of Kate O'Connell. Not-so-subtle rebranding methinks, one doth know which way the wind blows. Anyway, I wasn't long reaching for the remote.

Just had a quick look at the Israel daily case numbers, having not checked in a month or so... Very positive looking.

He's all for outdoor dining this summer so hardly surprising he'd give that view.

People keep throwing out ‘social distancing’ as one of the possible long term behaviours / rules . It’s an absolute nonsense. Large parts of our economy are completely unviable with social distancing. It’s an absolute non-runner once we’re substantially vaccinated

Why not both?

Even cutting max numbers earlier is better than nothing

No indoor dining is disastrous for the vast majority of the hospitality industry

9 months will result in many many businesses not being able to open

Would even be a disaster for well established hotels

We will have to allow indoor dining by July at the latest or a number of our restaurants and hotels will disappear.

We cant have a staycation if hotels can only offer outdoor dining or will the hotel be deemed your place of residence and indoor dining allowed in their restaurants.

KrustyUCC

Absolutely

Good luck selling staycations with no indoor dining

In what world are we 5-6 months away from indoor dining? They plan to have 80% of adults vaccinated by the end of June... And then we will wait another 2-3 months before opening restaurants?

Those in charge overly cautious about how much this or future variants might transmit indoors.

If indoor dining is done at all this summer it will need to have stricter restrictions than Christmas. Once larger portion of the population are fully vaccinated such restrictions could be eased.

Why? At some stage the government need to decide that the goal is.... The people that account for 90% of hospital admissions and deaths will b vaccinated in the next 2 months.

So at that point, assuming deaths and healthcare system is under control... What is left to achieve by continued lockdown?

A dystopian world where NPHET daily briefings are recycled on loop through loudspeakers in town squares. Another poster nailed it, July is the latest indoor hospitality can be stalled. All the elderly and vulnerable cohorts will be vaccinated and feeble excuses long exhausted.
