I heard from a very reliable source .Leos balls are on the chopping block because of his big mouth .Not 1 minister voted for level 5 there was almost unity on level 3 but then the Big mouth goes on Telly and kicks the bollox out of Doc Houlihan .Big Mick told Leo he now owns the Covid reaction as he attacked Nefed in public .Expect Leo to over react to save his own arse .Roadblocks wont stop anything .Early closing for offlicences will just mean more dial a drink and people stocking up and drinking more than they normally would .Its sort of anything goes now that the Government in stead of Nefed own the virus .Really surprised at Leo making such a stupid move nothing in it for him but if we go Lockdown the papers will say its the Governments fault for not listening and the main deafman was Dr Leo .

They weren't even checkpoints Marky....there were traffic cones reducing 3 lanes down to 1 with Garda cars parked at the end,not one Garda actually stopping traffic....Drew Harris even said it was to deter people who shouldn't be moving outside their county...it's fukin Level 3,people are still required to attend work,frontline workers being extremely inconvenienced going to and getting from work after night shifts....ye actually couldn't make it up!!

Houlohan is, as expected,  ramping up the rhetoric and calling them all bolloxes. They'll listen the next time. I doubt we'll see level three for even ten days. Circuit breaker level 5 is hurtling down the tracks. Halloween is a non runner, if it already wasn't. The housing estates are conspicuous by their lack of customary skeleton hands coming out of the ground, so the peasants are reacting in a manner relative to their priorities.
Get your slabs, bum wipes and the childer'ns toys in now. Hand sanitizer will be available, but will come with a joke price tag. Same for d'masks.

How come japan wit 126 million people in the most densely populated country in the world ....with the oldest population on the planet ...has fewer deaths than ireland ....an Japan had no lockdown or nuttin .....in fact they practically ignored the Chinese flu?
Because the flu doesn't attack them cause ther genetically very similar to the chinese that's why .....its blatantly obvious that this flu was a chinese bio weapon designed to remove the old world order an topple the world economy.....specifically the American dollor an the euro

Japan's population is much more honest and law-abiding.Irish will hide their possitve covid test if they can because we're all terrified they might close the off licence.

Unless they test everyone on the same day they've no idea how much is or isn't in the community.

Occi the death rate is corrupted .In both  the UK and USA if you die up to 6 weeks after a positive diagnosis they put it down to covid .Im not sure how Ireland Clarify Covid Deaths .The effect of this is A lot of older people go into old folks homes because they are frail and weak and if they catch Covid no account is given to the fact a lot of them were probably in palliative care .

Someone at my young fellas workplace- a fukkin bar/restaurant of all places-  tested positive. My lad is under lock and key tonight. Going for his test tomorrow. The wife and young one are sweating it too cos they're all under the one roof. Good job I bounced earlier this year.

Merc Im sort of thinking the whole of Europe at some time or other has been in Lockdown .It hasent worked so like Einstein says the definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result .When you consider the Death rate and the different ways of counting is this Virus really as potent as they say .Ireland is facing a deluge of dangers  .Virus Lockdown,Brexit and a change to Corporate Tax .A Second lockdown will weaken our economy and we wont be able to survive either of the next blows .Back in the 50s we had TB killed more than this China Cough so we opened fever Hospitals like Cherry Orchard and Peamount .If overwhelming hospital emergency beds is really what this is all about then why not just take over a few nursing homes or Private Hospitals and turn them into Covid only premises then let the rest of us get on with life .I know Two publicans that wont be reopening our kids mate ran a hairdressers went under due to back rent .If there is a second lockdown then I think a lot of Jobs will be gone forever but whats the Alternative are our Government or any other Government going to take the Chance to Ignore what every other Country is doing .

Central bank official on the radio earlier says it's mostly hospitality that's affected.Other parts of the economy are relatively strong.Savings are strong too apparently.

They can afford to pay us to be off so long as they keep borrowing.If a few taxis and small businesses get taken out then that's the price they're willing to pay.They're just gonna kick the can down the road until the vaccine is widely available.Then they'll tax us for the next fifty years to pay for it.Enjoy the break, put the central heating on as a treat..

If they go to level 5 I'm expecting to get another year on me heap as the NCT centers will be closed like a few months ago.Every cloud...

Another year means I don't have to replace it.It reaches end of life March 2021....10/15k I don't have to spend in the next year.

They extended the age on some vehicles last year so this should be no different.If it happens I'll be happy if it doesn't I'll deal with it.Either way I won't be spending if things are still in the toilet this time next year.Just trying to manage the risk really.

I'll offer Ken 3K for his new Avensis and see if he bites.

Im not a Shinner never have been but I think Mary Lou should get a chance of steering this sinking ship ,at least the Shinners all sing from the one song book .Leo Couldnt resist mouthing off .If we go back into Lockdown (Friday after the finance bill is passed unless the vote on it on Wednesday )He will own the attack on Dr Houlihan that refused to listen last week when the advice was go to level 5 to stop the spread and try save Christmas SF and the left will beat him to death with that FACT .You can sense the desperation out there but this time you can also the defiance .The mixed messages have fucked up the Idea we are all in this togeather .

Dont dissagree with you 42 but the Government we have now is pathetic Not one outstanding individual among them Leo had us fooled for a while but he showed last week its all about his ego .No unity in this Government and no Unity in the Country A second lockdown and close to Christmas there will be trouble and Street Violence ,we saw the beginning of it yesterday .People are afraid and fed up of the mixed messages and Idiot inbread politicians shouting to close Off licences and Churches the Two great pillars of Irish Society .You can smell the Silence and if Donny T Loses the US could descend into serious Civil unrest that will trigger World Wide Unrest .If this Virus was the Chinamans weapon its mightier than the Atom .

There be no street violence here a few scuffles maybe but no mass unrest we are Irish it's not done and was ever expecting unity between fg and ff ? Cat and dog mentality
Sf aren't the answer they only have one real agenda that would cost us billions and start a civil war up north

Theres no answer to or current problems except wait for vaccines and ride it out financially

As TD says until a vaccine is found this is our future....it's the numbers in hospital and ICU beds that will ultimately decide whether a lockdown is required but currently there's no mass adherence to guidlines even at Level 3.

If I was a betting man ! I would think if they can pass the Finance bill on Wednesday then we go into stage 4 lockdown by Friday  building sites and essential shopsand places of work  remain open everything else closes down and new restrictions on movement .If I was a publican I wouldnt be buying Fairy lights .
