Ireland's Calling for Normal Life to Return, thread number 5

[eggandonion]

Unlinked because I can't remember how to do it, and can't find Help thing.

I'm the same with the news. Try to limit my Covid-19 intake to a scan of the New Scientist.

Is this new varient the recombination one from California?

First case of another new variant in Ireland: The key points you need to know from tonight's NPHET briefing jrnl.ie/5365655

No, not California, sub-Saharan Africa.

I can't keep up with the new strains This one must be bad though if they're mentioning it. Very little mention of the Brazilian strain apparently there's now 15 cases of that. I'm not overly confident that they have it under control.

Such depressing stories in the news today. I hope that man in the midlands gets what he deserves in prison the horrible bastard.

Another north Cork family murder, grim news.

JaneJeffer, I do you mean the news report about the man in Tipp? I hope to there's no other sickening story.

It's three brothers in Cork isnt it? I got a news alert about it. Awful.

That's the one. It said he has a home in the midlands.

The north cork one is indeed grim. I wasn't aware of the tip/midlands one?

Oh my god I just read a headline. I feel sick. Evil doesn't even begin to cover it.

Oh my god I just read a headline. I feel sick. Evil doesn't even begin to cover it.

It's truly sickening. Evil, evil bastard.

Im confused. What man in Tipp ?

I don't know to do a link but it concerns child abuse and the abuse of an infant.

Oh gosh. I've just seen it.

It's in the Journal @LadyEloise. I can't bring myself to link to it.

I've just seen it on the RTE news app.

Why were two years suspended ?
Why can't he be locked up for the rest of his life ?

He'll not last 2 years inside, his cell mates will make sure of that.

I saw that. Normally I disapprove of vigilantiism but I hope he suffers a lot

This. x100.

Have you seen the scenes in Grafton Street today ?😱
Anti lockdown protestors apparently.

DS2 just showed me them this minute. Is it Gemma's mates again?

I saw some of it, where they were shooting at the guards? It looked like they were with something that looked like fireworks?
It's ridiculous, they are lucky they weren't in Spain. Stricker lockdown and the cops there dont take any crap.
They'd be the very same people giving out about the Gardaí when they aren't at their beck and call.

Idiots, the lot of them.

As far as I know it was organised after that beautician got arrested for opening. She had the likes of Gilroy et al with her, she was giving the speel of the constitution.

I am a front line worker in a Dublin hospital and this really gets me. These idiots, and I can only call them this do not see the pain and the fear in the hospitals. I and my colleagues are so bloody tired, most of us are doing over 50 hrs a week as we are short and then we see this happening. I have seen more deaths in the last 6 months than in the last 6 years. Numbers in 2 weeks will be up.

Sorry, rant over.

Taz.

To be honest, I still dont know why hairdresser and beauty salons cant open. The same with clothes shops.
Also my local shop had lovely easter decorations for sale but not for sale. Red tape over it. Even the Easter craft stuff which I need for work but I can buy Easter eggs?. I thinks it's all a bit ridiculous.

Me too @Iblinkedandiamold it's not as if there's going to be 200 people in the hairdressers/barbers at once.
