It's a absolute disgrace that they are comparing case number to this time last year but not acknowledging that we test more in one day now than we were in a week this time last year.

A crap roadmap

But we have a roadmap

Like a roadmap you would get in a kids Happy Meal.

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.

The way the media has acted has been an utter disgrace but then again when every second add is brought to you be the government of Ireland they are going to keep the scaremongering going. Just look at the vitners with George Lee and rtes response. A disgrace

I appreciate the pile on. All im saying is lots of people are getting it done and if you don't think so you are dreaming. Wouldn't it be better to open them up in a controlled environment?

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?

It's a perfectly reasonable plan if we stick to it. I'm hesitant to trust, but if things pan out the way he outlined it won't be too bad.

Did he say from what date 2 fully vaccinated people can meet??

In this era of spin doctors , media handlers , fondlers and advisors WHY is information ALWAYS released before the Taoiseach makes his official speech to the nation . He is telling us nothing that hasnt already been announced.
There is obviously some reason for this .
Can anyone explain.
Genuine question. I dont have an issue with the actual information. !

If it opens 31st it May, they technically told us the truth I guess.

Nothing on click and collect should be starting also

Don't know why they say the 12th april for people to travel in their own county because every time they do that people start doing it the day they release the news.

Your kidding right?

We had a less pessimistic speech back in March 2020 ,a year ago

250,000 confirmed cases since then and 787,000 vaccinated

No country wide travel till July or hospitality restrictions easing till August

Straight into winter we go, with the Flu and Covid again, lovely

Yeah maybe I’ve had too much rose. I’m sure I’ll be back to my usually pessimistic self later! But for now I’m just happy to have something to look forward to

Because every eejit that surrounds government wants to be the first to feed their reporters. Cultivating contacts for the day you might need them to spin something your way.

So far they haven't. What makes you think they'll suddenly start now? Vaccine supplies, on the other hand, are a different story!

In terms of travel, is it can travel within your county and if youre on a county border you can go 20kms into the other county, or is it 20km from home OR county?

So despite them on the one hand saying they'll have offered everyone vaccines by July - pints are off the table? By that logic they're off the table forever

This is what people wanted; a plan to show the way out. It may vary but it is a plan.
