Micheál Martin has admitted the next phase of reopening could be delayed until later in July amid rising concerns about the Delta variant of Covid-19.
The Taoiseach said the Government would follow public health advice if it is to delay the planned July 5 reopening of indoor hospitality, as well as plans to increase numbers allowed in households, and at weddings, and larger indoor and outdoor gatherings.
He told you pubs were being ADVISED not to invest in indoor ventilation .He told you Pubs wouldnt reopen last year .He told you This years Paddys Day wouldnt happen .He was posting about the China Sneeze before any Irish Newspaper .He told you the Dublin City Marathon cannot get a Public Health Cert for October .Learn to read between the lines .Government dont have a fucking notion whats occuring .
Big Eamo from the Cabbages is all about Global warming and rising tides .So answer me this .Is St Vincents the right place to build a new billion Euro Maternity Hospital .I have seen the Merrion Junction Flooded at high tide when there is a strong easterly wind .The new Hospital isint 100 yards away from the beach .This Banana is slowly turning into a Lemon .Why are government going to bring in a law to allow drinking on the footpath continue if the Pubs with roofs are supposed to be reopening .?

ARE THEY ALL BIPOLAR ...Government Ministers have confirmed the July reopening is on track despite concerns about the Delta variant in Ireland.
Indoor dining at pubs and restaurants is the big change set to come in early July with an official decision to be made on Thursday week.
And speaking to the Irish Mirror ahead of today's Cabinet meeting, Ireland's decision makers confirmed that as it stands, the reopening plan will be going full steam ahead.
SO DID THE TAOISEACH SAY WHAT HE SAID OR DID HE SAY SOMETHING ELSE WHEN HE WAS SAYING WHAT HE WAS SAYING ! how the fuck can you run a business with contradictions like this .

Problem is things are changing by the day. A week ago, everything seemed ok but then some kids had a party in Athlone and bingo, the delta variant is spreading in Athlone. Today, they're opening new test centres in Dungarvan, Co Waterford, and Dundalk because cases are spreading there as well!
In the UK, the numbers of people on ventilators from the delta variant are shooting up and they're shitting themselves over in the UK.
This delta variant is scary stuff.
And today, India announced they'd discovered a "delta plus" variant but they're not sure how dangerous it is yet.
I think it's time to stock up on toilet rolls again ::)

Not really Watty .Air conditioning engineers contacted the Government to ask for guidance with reference to standard for air conditioning for indoor dining and were informed there was No standard approved .In a Pandemic there is no standard WHY ? The Dublin City Marathon needs a Public Health Certificate and they cant get one so an event set to take place in OCTOBER long after the THREATENED reopening WHY?.The Man who hires Casual labour just checked the Vote for spending by Dublin Corporation and discovered no funding was put aside for Patrics Parade 2021 in last years budget WHY ? What do you think is going on in St Vincents could it possibly be ..Maternity Hospital . Has anybody asked the question .If Global warming is true and sea levels rise is St Vincents the right location for the new Hospital .On a high tide and a east wind the sea breaches the rail line at Merrion Gate .So is it the right site .Would it not be better to demolish the Basin Lane Flats and build the Maternity hospital along side Jamses and the National Childrens Hospital .Watty this forum is better informed on what is going on than the government .

I recon Me or the Man who hires Casual Labour is the best Political analysts in the Country or else we are great Guessers as so far we havent been wrong not once .

OCCI your an Intelligent man so answer me this .There is a Gig next week for front line workers in the RHK .Now in what fucking World does it make sense to get 3500 Doctors,Nurses ,Hospital Cleaners togeather in a field to be GuineaPigs .We are told that the Double Needle protects you from SERIOUS INFECTION not immunity from the Curry Cough .So the bright idea is to get all the people who look after sick people to PARRRRRRRRRTY and see if it creates a spreader event among Needled People .So much for respecting Front Line Workers you turn them into Guinea Pigs just to test if its Ok to let Alan Hughes hold his Panto this year or if Dara O Brein can do gigs in Vicar Street with an Audience of Double Jabbers .

Merch there are people on here with family members that might be thinking of going back to work that might not exist .Think how fucking Sly it is You cannot sign on for PUP after the 1st but the Government wont announce if the Pints with Roofs will open until the 2nd .Ill try get a copy of the application form for Unemployment Assistance and post it .It might not be possible for people to get any coin if their parents are working .Hoteliers are crying like a deflowered Girl Guide on the Bus Home about not being able to get staff ,same cunts will sack staff if they dont reopen .
-
They're not morons though John.Most drivers will stay in a holding pattern on the PUP until we're open for good. I expect to be still on it until next year.With respect... I don't think anyone is looking in here for their news or for ideas on how to run their business.

Bit harsh, MfH.
You say you expect to be on the PUP until next year. It's dropping €50 every couple of months and you could be on €203/week pretty quickly. You might be better off claiming the 'proper' dole and all the benefits that come with that like GP card etc. There's people on here who know all about the SW 'process' and what to say & what not to say. If JohnM does apply for Unemployment Assistance, he'll probably give us a heads up on the lie of the land and how SW will treat the taxi sector.
Also, re the PUP. The numbers have gone from 600k down to about 200k. That might be a small enough group that SW might start targeting the 200k and putting them under pressure to go back to work. And between this site and the so-called unions, we should be able to get our stories straight about how deserving we are of the PUP!
Finally, RC seems to know a lot about the tax system and a few others know cars inside and out. So if you ignore the talk about cyptocurrencies etc, there is plenty of info on here that's worth 10mins of your time.
-
So yer saying they are morons...shame on you Watty!There is good info on here.But you need to sift through a lot of complaining about the government to find the juicy stuff.
The bottom level of the PUP is 200 and no lower AFAIK.I'm happy to sign off when the government take there foot off the neck of the economy.Until then I can wait.

Unlikely, going on past performance. What did he say?

A tall man who knows the man who hires casual labour recons FF/FG /Are fucking sick of Leo making promises spending billions he never discussed with Paggo or Little Mick the money from Cork City .He recons opening up will be postponed for two weeks they will say to roll out the needle but its really to get the result of the By election if Government party dont win it then the majority is down to two .Tall Man says then Mick From Cork will call Summer Holidays .Pago and Mick the money will try get a budget and then the Government will collapse .They will fight the Next election on how well they handled the China Curry Cough with the Economy surging or the Shinners will fight on Housing .Its now a matter of buying time to buy time to see if we can recover before September.Government are pissed off FF are not really bothering to canvass Greens are infighting only half the party are involved .FG are not seeing transfers .Geogan should be ahead after first count but whoever finishes second Boylan or Bachik should win the seat .

The Tall man said they were calling each other out at tonight's party meeting .Some were saying The Hooligan and the Medical Mafia were running rings around the The Blanchardstown Babe others said the last time the Babe dissagreed with the Hooligan we had hospitals full of dead people .it looks like the consensus has broken down .Tall Man said the sniper Simon is waiting in the long grass he wants the fuck out of the Norn Iron Job and the only way out is to knock the Babe out cold .So Blood Sports north and south of the border for the Glorious twelfth is that the start of the Grouse Shooting Season as well .

Lad in Tallaght was telling me yesterday when I asked do I leave the keys in the car .Last time I was there the office was closed you had to wait with the car for the SGS bloke to come to you .

Looks like they got a Doctor who use to be some sort of Union rep to put the boot in on Dr Leo ...The former president of the Irish College of General Practitioners said it was now a race against the clock to vaccinate as many people as possible to protect them from the Delta variant and said, “an additional two or three weeks would make a substantial difference”.

The same in Cork, even back in the day of when leaving keys in the ignition at NCT, there was always a NCT parking attendant looking after the cars. I reckon John M's imagination got the better of him !

Read what you just wrote .You called me a liar but at the same time confirmed exactly what I said {The same in Cork, even back in the day of when leaving keys in the ignition at NCT, there was always a NCT parking attendant looking after the cars.} You just confirmed exactly what I said but at the same time called me a liar .You said that drivers left keys in cars .

Anybody think Dinner and Pints with a roof will reopen on the 5th I dont but I said that weeks ago .Listening to a Publican on the radio this morning 20K to restock his bar he has to order this week to guarentee delivery in time to reopen .This whole thing is a fucking shambles and not a bit of honesty from the Politicians .This Forum knew about the China Cold before the Government announced it we knew the Pubs wouldnt reopen last year ,We knew there would be no Paddys Parade which meant no visitors and if there were no visitors and no parade the reason was we were still in lockdown .We knew that the Big reopen on the 5th would be delayed .We know before we are told things will not be back to normal by October as the Dublin City Marathon has not got the all clear .Hear lads thinking of buying new vehicles to park outside their gaffs .The whole thing is a Fuck up .EU leaders met yesterday and the most important issue in Europe in the Middle of a Pandemic with half the continent locked down was can two boys fuck each other in Hungry .And in Borosis Britain they have decided that Ibiza is a Green Holiday destination .Now think about that Ibiza is a 18/30 Holiday Island the exact age of the Unvacinated population of Britain so they think unvaxinated kids should PAAAAAAAAAAAARTIE but double vaxers should take a caravan staycation in Skegness .So whats your best guess when do we reopen without restrictions as in all Shops ,Bars,Clubs ,Gigs,Sports .Im going March 2022.

I have to admit and apologise, you were right John M.
At NCT this morning I was told to leave keys in the ignition and there was no NCT parking attendant present at 8am.
I did wait in the car, but everyone else there went off around the back to stand outside the exit doors.
So unlikely as it may be to happen in an industrial estate, it would indeed to easy enough to nick a motor of your choice.

Ken I report stuff as I hear it what lads do with it is their business .I do try to be honest .I listen to politicians speaking and fail to understand what they say .My talent is I can listen to silence and hear clearly what is being said Eg the Man From Temple Bar traders instead of redecorating or getting the Carpets and Upholstery cleaned or Caustic Sodaing the Cheesy Urinal traps he decided to put 8x4 plywood over his windows and doors .Dosent take a genius to work out that the 6 weeks they were told they were closing for was bollox .if you check the Corporation Budget and there is no money voted for the Paddys Parade you know they have been advised by government not to bother not even vote provisional funds tells you that lockdown is still forcast for March 2021.Same with the Marathon no funds voted from Sports ireland or Board Failte of DCC or SDCC for barriers and cleaning .The By election on the 8th meant the opening on the 5th is very unlikely purely for political reasons .FF housing minister moved the writ FG need to win this but all government parties dont really want reopening before the 8th as the lockdown will be used to explain the low turnout possibly the lowest ever in that constituency .Politicians are playing politics with this Pandemic 4 billion for a hospital forcast to cost 400 million HSE waiting lists so long a lot of the patients are dead and buried .Our tax take is falling like a drunk teenager on the stairs in the flats .Brexit going to bring hardship and violence .This country is in the lifeboat the Government are rowing in Circles as they dont know where the safe harbour is .We havent seen the worst of this crap yet .and I dont just mean the Curry Cough .

You want to know whats going on look where Failte Ireland are spending their cash they plan a year ahead .

Looks like few if any employers believe the Governments time table for reopening ....Employers are sticking to plans for thousands of workers to return to the office in September, despite Government signals of an earlier reopening.
In an Irish Independent survey, most companies that had set dates were not taking account of a potential phased return this summer.
The survey of major employers, which total more than 400,000 staff between them, included Aviva, Intel, Facebook, Flutter and Google.
If this is correct July and August wont be anything great .
-
Yeah sure it never was.I'll start dipping my toes in around July/August then I'll piss off on holiday hopefully in September.
-
The tall man recons we wont reopen on the 5th and unless the crowd who certify the arm candy approve the Astra Zeneca and J and J for under 40s we wont reopen on the 19th either . You wont read that in the Indo .
-
Its Monday so a new week a new idea .Ireland Inc has a problem .Dr Hooligan and his buddies might not be listened to and we might be up and running by next Tuesday after all .The Goalposts have moved .It no longer matters how many people in Ireland have the virus or how many are in hospital .The new question is are we good obedient Europeans .The EU will be lifting Travel restrictions on the 19th that will cause an issue if Ireland as an EU country is preventing other EU citizens from traveling .Now the question to be decided is .Will Irish Hotels and hospitality be available for European travelers .Not how many sick Irish there are .Sort of makes no sense to keep hotels and pubs and indoor dining closed if we cant keep other EU members sick or not out any double jabber or if you have a Im Clean Cert and you are from an EU country you can travel into Ireland after the 19th .If thats the way they are going to judge it then .Neped or the Irish Government are just rubber stamping and our Doc was right all along .Its all a load of bollox .Because according to the EU its over on the 19th .Could be some truth in this as some of the homeless that were staying in hotels seem to be back on the streets or camping in parks .
-
Think you've covered it all there John.
-
Think you've covered it all there John.
Hal its becoming a load of bollox We locked down when there was 200 cases a day now we are reopening and nobody gives a fuck how many cases .It was always a case of our muppets following the EU .Even the fuckology during the last few weeks because the HSE was hacked they could tell us how many were infected how many were in hospital but not how many were dieing .I think our Doc had it right .ITS ALL A LOAD OF BOLLOX .If the EU opens on the 19th then so will we .What difference will staying closed for another two weeks make ?People are fed up paying Pub prices for knacker drinking and Picnics .If they stay closed for another two weeks its only window dressing .
-
Is Dr Leo trying to look like he is in favour of reopening or is he going to call Dr Hooligan a useless cunt again like he did in November ...The Tánaiste has said it is "not inevitable" that the planned reopening on 5 July of indoor services in restaurants and pubs will be delayed.
-
Talking to the Tall man this morning .He says there is a question for cabinet to answer ,It is .Is it legal or illegal to serve alcohol out doors and if it is illegal .Why has the Garda Comissioner failed to carry out his sworn duty and shut it down .It raises a serious question of Law if a Garda Comissioner can decide which laws he will impose and which laws he will ignore .That is a Constitutional Duty given to Judges to decide and the Oireachtas to legislate for .Some of the FG Barristers in the Dail are not happy with some Civil Servant userping their role .

New laws allowing for alcohol to be served outside restaurants and bars are to be approved to by ministers at a hastily arranged meeting this evening.
Independent.ie understands Taoiseach Micheál Martin has summoned the Cabinet to an incorporeal (remote) meeting at 4.30pm.

New Footpath Lounge Bar licences are good until November and can be renewed .Dosent sound like the Government are very confident of returning to normal service .Leo must of been told to go fuck himself with his idea to reopen next tuesday with the speed they drew up the Footpats Gargling Law .
