Good speech well delivered.

So we're looking at 80% of people getting a vaccination dose by end of June but we're not even considering hospitality until July?

This is mental

Speech was fine. Can't stand the guy, but not like he was going to say anything else.

Absolutely disgraceful, the government is finished.

Open the hairdressers and barbers. I don't know a single person who isn't getting cuts done on the sly.

Nonsense leaving it till May.

Basically the same speech as last Easter.
Lol.

You know what, maybe it’s the fact that the sun is shining but if we can trust what he’s saying then I’m happy enough with what he’s outlining here. I mean the walking back will probably start no soon as the words come out of his mouth but if non essential retail will be open in mid May I can get on board with this for another few weeks. I thought that was far more optimistic than what I was expecting, like my expectations were on the floor. I don’t feel like reaching through the tv and strangling the man like I usually do. And that’s a strange feeling. Am I okay?

Tourism decimated worse than last year and we had no vaccines then.

Like what? What do you expect? What crystal ball do you think he has to the case levels in 4 weeks or 8 or 12 or 24?

Didn't expect anything, I was just wondering if hemaybe would have said something that we hadn't already read elsewhere today . Obviously he hasn't a crystal ball or he'd have used it before now .

Everyone editorialises. Look at how others are reporting the same information.

The signer's EU trousers were nice.

He has made some rod for his own back when they won't be able to get the jabs in to the arms due to the fact that inevitably the hse will **** it up

You are getting a bit excited about figures from one day. It's a bit hypocritical to get excited over a lower number and then be all over anybody who gets a bit anxious by a higher daily figure.

310 or so hospitalised and 67 in ICU currently, and yet RTE is constantly pushing the airways with their 4th wave scenario. Their purpose is to cause irrational fear. RTE's fearmongering and outright lies has no place in a national broadcaster. Now if there were the unquestioning propaganda department of the government, well then, it makes sense.

I'm not getting it cut on the sly, so there's one person for you. €20 for a short back and sides is a rip off anyway.

You couldn't book any holiday here this summer with that vague announcement.

I was taken in by it, completely forgot utterly inept and spineless leadership over past few months. MM reading off a teleprompter made everything rosy again.
