daraghobrien It is important to base decisions and recommendations on data. Masks and distancing are based on data and results

Instead of what you don't see over the next six months Ronan,how about what you do see,that's what the people of this country would like to hear,not your never ending doom & gloom,personally,I put no pass on what you & your colleagues say😊 ENDLOCKDOWNNOW

What about Freemasonic Lodge meetings ronan_glynn? Are they an essential service and an exempted activity?

This fella wants to open construction up and keep social distance and mask etc....has he ever stepped onto a fucking site...hasn't a clue

For the next 6 months? After already living like this for the past year? So 18 months?l Another 6 months will bring us straight back into Irelands’ autumn/winter flu season. This is absolutely ridiculous. I don’t know when the Irish people are going to wake up & say enough!!

Why are people surprised? A little bit of research & you will learn we are NEVER coming out of lockdowns. Covid will be dragged out until we are vaccinated. Climate change will take over & then 2025 we will have SPARS a new deadly virus. 2030 own nothing be happy 😉

Does Ronan not realize since work places have made it compulsoryy to wear masks casss have risen.

Mr Glynn can go back to the cesspit of negativity he loves

But still nothing being done to improve the hospitals. After nearly 12months still clueless.

It’s never going to end, in 6 months we’ll be in the 9th wave 👀😬.

....because we are so incompetent. We have a vaccine (numerous, actually) and we didn't bother to organise a functioning procedure to roll it out.

I dont see a scenario whereby people will keep listening to this nonsense

Stop people from entering the country !!!!

Even when the vulnerable, who we have been told we're doing all this to protect, have been vaccinated? Either you're saying that the vaccine doesn't work or this is not about a virus. Anyone awake yet?

The whole covid response in Ireland has been a shit show from beginning end. Yet the brainwashed will vote for 4 more FFG years when the time comes again. Middle class firmly on the way to destruction. Enjoy

Buy the vaccine 💉 from India 🇮🇳 Russia 🇷🇺 or anywhere Beg the U.K.if you have to. Get jabbing ASAP Too expensive not to Only 5 million to do ......... sorted by Easter 🐣!

Just a constant ratcheting up, when vaccines should be improving the outlook NEPHET add more disaster. I've followed their advice (as much as I could) but the advice must be wrong at this point. Hiding away perpetually can't be the way forward, maybe Covid needs to be faced now

So they are basically saying we won't have much of a summer either, just like Christmas. What an absolute shit show, 3 weeks to flatten the curve peeps what say you 🤔

This is ridiculous

The Journal, the biggest rag there is

Asking?

🤡🤡🤡

Joyful

The way he is talking, I can see lockdown in some form for the entire year. We now have a vaccine, but we have more restrictions in 2021 than we had in 2020! How can that be?

Mystic Meg has just got some competition.

F off they cannot continue to destroy our lives. There is preventive medication and early treatment medication which works when it is used early enough and reduces the number of severe cases. This lockdown strangulation of our country must end.

Tipping point coming. They just continue with doom and gloom for 6 months and then another 6 months. No plan or idea.

Covid Ayatollahs out.

He can't be wrong. They have been working so well thus far. Just look at the numbers..they are so..high?Maybe these masks & distancing aren't really working 🤣 Just a thought,lockdowns & shit have been going on almost a year & it was meant to last 2 weeks. Perhaps a new approach?

😢nope had enough...can’t take anymore

Just an idea, ' Get a second opinion ' You do know that more than half of Healthcare staff are actually sick of this lockdowns. No one said the mask will be off, or that we should go to Covid-Infested-festival. But let the people go for a hike for God's sake!

Under the freedom of information act the Irish gov failed too prove scientifically the covid exists

Nobody minds the 'asking'. It's the jackboots people object to.

Fuckin August

Stringent Quarantining the only answer

The point of people no longer listening is getting nearer unless some good news comes and/or get this vaccine rolled out at something more than snails pace

In 6 months time, this whole country will be on its knees. The government have to stop listening to these loons. We have the worst restrictions in Europe and they are basically writing off this year as well. Why is no journalist asking why if all vulnerable will be vaccinated

What's the fucking vaccine for so?This is complete and utter bullshit but population have been brainwashed now and will believe whatever shit they come up with next.

Two letters .. N & O. Campaign of civil disobedience if restrictions aren’t lifted once vulnerable are vaccinated .

It's all a load of bollox. An olde flu used to control people

Unless there will be some kind of internet and communication blackout, I don’t see scenario where people are happy to be held under house arrest for additional 6 months knowing that in every other country people more or less, can live their lives...Something’s gotta give.

“Two weeks to flatten the curve” (March 16 2020) Time to call out this scam and hang the perpetrators from the nearest lamp posts.

How will they know the spaces are poorly ventilated- where’s the plan for air quality monitoring and notification? MikeMcKillen Orla_Hegarty

Now it’s all the students fault again , little mention of meat plants and nursing homes once again .

Never ending will we ever see the end of these public health guys.

Double negative? Abair é go soiléir,ar son Dé!

And then magically it'll carry on because,, pppsstttt guess what winter months bring around respiratory illness,, shitshowisneverendingisit?

What happens in 6 months time?

A Iv had it with bad news today . Gonna and play some call of duty and pretend for a short while that the other reality doesn’t exist

These doctors do great work but my god they could be a bit more positive during their reports, depressing on steroids!

Six months fucks sake a year be nearly over 😆

Concern over paying mortgages,rents,filling up the fridge,childreen education obesity,menthal health,bills.........last and not least going fishing.

Yet we still have no reliable specific guidelines from government on ventilation in offices... So offic workers have to fight their own individual battles...
