Relaxation of Restrictions, Part XII *Read OP For Mod Warnings*

Stop pretending your HR and payroll is special, because it isn't. Even my own place has every single thing you just listed.

Talking about sick leave and parental leave as if nobody else ever has to process that...

I'm afraid you're the one talking nonsense going on about people being obsessed by Holohan. They're not obsessed, they're frustrated and resentful and don't trust him. I also don't know why you bother to reply to my posts when you make little reference to my actual points and basically go on your own rant. I never said that Holohan is a dictator, I never said that the Government shouldn't listen to his advice. I said that Holohan has an enormous psychological hold over Government and population which I find disturbing. I explained my reasons for my opinion, an opinion shared by many. If you don't agree that's your prerogative.Your posting history would suggest that you are very much pro NPHET and that too is your prerogative. But you're not going to change my mind and I neither have the time nor the interest in a tit for tat. So let's leave it there.

I have to disagree to a certain extent , Leo has in fact been the cheerleader when it comes to mixed messaging, Supporting Restrictions, then not so much, then supporting and then saying they are peculiar. He wants it both ways but never wants to be seen to have been supporting the very decisions his government have made.

I doubt anyone is disliked, people just disagree with others opinions. Don't take it to heart, there is a real world out there where you can avoid all things covid, don't let this place and certain posters dictate how you feel mentally and more importantly, if interactions on boards are getting you down, step away and look after yourself both physically and mentally.

There is little reason to do anything now and with this variant it would be a bit crazy. How they've approached it is a different conversation but NPHET are not alone in the world in their overzealous alarm about this. Hopefully this will be fast and mild.

To be fair, he laboured the fact that he was taken out of context with that “peculiar” quote during the conference on Friday.

He said his point was that he thought it was going to appear peculiar to many people to introduce restrictions when hospital numbers etc are down, but there are good reasons behind the decision.

Leo on now, doing a lot of Hoping, the Plan is the Plan etc etc

My question is WTF was Holohan doing on NT a minute ago (recorded a bit earlier) giving interviews/scaremongering??!

Sinead (covering for Ciara) is worse - obsequiously asking softball questions and letting him try to put people off Christmas with family, not even challenging his shyte once!!

Well observed 😏

There never was a gag.

I'm lost, here we have experts advising we may need to lockdown for up to 8 weeks!

Then here we have them saying there are no plans for a lockdown:

Will this ever end?

The "Experts" are not official government experts so to speak so are not constrained by the Agenda.

The official government "Experts" follow the Agenda

It's a perplexing question , when is an expert and actual expert so to speak 😁

I'm reminded of one of historys greatest un answered questions

How did they get the fig, into fig rolls 😏

That was the Idea, un official Gag but it became clear the ineptitude of Government was breathtaking but more importantly the Gag would mean no political cover if things went pear shaped. So they sat down over Tea and mariieta biscuits and came up a let's play nice and we're all buddies approach.

You advise, we'll disagree gently, then we'll compromise, make us all look like we're on the same team and friendly etc, sell the message and hope people don't realise there being treated like absolute gobshytes so to speak.
