[Explain how we are not locked up]

Well said Armagh
Explain how we are not locked up
As Armagh can't do anything other than walk outside
We are caged up

Hysterical nonsense like this does you no favours

You might be happy living in a fecking police state where you can barely walk up the road without getting questioned but I'm not.

I've drove to work regularly and been out and about plenty since last March and haven't been stopped by or saw the police stopping once (while either walking or in the car).

I presume you're in the north? In the south, the Gardai are everywhere.

I ain't seen them

But it's good to know they're out there

As they should be

Why on earth would you want those rats out and about? Same c***ts who can post videos of dancing at the beach but fine people for going for a swim?

We have been caged up
My plan would make sense for a start
Nothing open until at least April 1st then Murphy says do not plan anything before Easter
Why not lockdown until April 8 then?

So you are time based?

No one is locked up either, the exaggeration on this thread is unreal.

Cant get a haircut, can't go to the gym, can't get a pint, not meant to go visit anyone, no sport, no gyms- how much worse does it have to get before you'd call it locked up?

Botonic gardens bunged today..

good stuff

Byrne very unlucky to miss out for Dublin, arguably their best defender there and 4 of the Dublin defence picked ahead of him.

McCarthy named at 6 despite playing in midfield.

Impossible to leave Galligan, Fenton or McCarthy out though.

It's great to see such concern for SF and their supporters. 

Probably means that they doing something right, and posing a threat to generations of gombeen FG/FF governments.

As you were....

I genuinely don't know how anyone could possibly vote for either party. Fair enough FF might have some decent people on the ground locally, but Martin is the most pathetic snake of a politician I've ever met, closely followed by Leo.

No respect for anyone that could support either.

More sneering and intolerance from a Shinnerbot

Sneering and intolerance. Give it a rest ffs

"pathetic snakes"

"No respect for people who could support either"

It was textbook sneering and intolerance

That's the Sinn Fein way

How else would you describe Martin? And I'm just giving my honest opinion- no idea how people could possibly vote for FF/FG. Maybe you could enlighten me or go back to SF bashing. Up to yourself.

ah whatever. Out of interest, who do you vote for and why do you hate SF so much.

Can you really sit there and tell me that Pearse Doherty isn't worth 100 of any FF/FG politician? Or that Mary Lou make Martin and Varadkar look even worse than they already are.

Good oul right-wing Gmac!
We should have been vaccinating people not locking them up.
Does he realise the Vaccinations only came on stream 9 or 10 months later.
But I suppose when you go full Yank rwnj you leave all your brains aside.

Aye so why are we still being locked up and vaccinations being done at a snails pce.

[promoted by SF]

Even Sinn Féin think some Volunteers are less equal than others

https://m.independent.ie/irish-news/politics/commemoration-for-ira-bomber-supported-by-sinn-fein-branch-is-cancelled-40107930.html

I'm assuming you read the article and how it states it was cancelled at request of the family?

It was cancelled by the family, but should it have been organised in the first place and promoted by SF? I suppose it depends on how you view the IRA and their campaign in the UK

Did you not read the article either?

The online commemoration for Edward O'Brien, which was organised by Edward's father Miley and supported by Wexford Sinn Féin

I did. Did you read beyond Edward's father?

If a father wants to commemorate his son, that's one thing, but for a political party to publicly support this, then it is an issue for me. Sure it'l be a popular move with their own supporters but if they're looking to gain more votes in the next election in the south links like this will do them more harm than good with the undecided voters.

I can't believe someone along the way didn't tell them to take the Wexford GAA crest off the commemoration.

I'd hazard a guess SF wouldn't be wasting much time or thoughts on the likes of yourself

That's a very sneering response

Shinnerbots do a mean line in sneering at anybody who doesn't think like them, ie. anybody who doesn't eulogise murderers

I take you booed all the 1916 commemorations then...

Hard to argue with any there but I thought McLaughlin and Durcan were certs. Quinlivan unlucky too.

I don't think Kevin McLoughlin ever got an All Star , hard to believe , but I suppose with the Dubs hoovering up over 50% of the awards every year , it reduces opportunities for the other 31 counties.

I'm tslking about the young fella who played half back, maybe he's not called McLaughlin? Got the black card against Galway. Conroy possibly could have got one too.

I get the impression that this is to be the last lockdown and I definitely welcome that. But that is why they're are going to ultra cautious. If another month or two now means a semi normal summer and winter then I am all for that. It's tough I really get that, I find it really hard but if it's another 2 months of this in return for normality, then that is what it has to be.

There is no way to guarantee this.  It is likely to be the case that there will be another lockdown come next October/November if the variants escape the vaccine.

This needs to be the last one never mind this bullshit with new variants. Good luck trying to get people to listen to anything beyond April, especially with the vulnerable vaccinated.

our politicians are so so lazy, the data is suggesting some restrictions should be lifting, especially with the bit of the turn in the weather especially for outdoors. but no, we dont trust people to not party over Patricks day and Easter so we will take the easiest option available to us and just keep all current restrictions in place, so so depressing

Do you really think people won't party over Paddy's day?

Jayne McCormick BBC reporter on twitter.

"Hearing NI's lockdown restrictions could be extended until early April - details in a paper from the health minister Robin Swann. Another review would then take place mid-March. Health officials want to ensure progress so far not hit by socialising over St Patrick's Day/Easter"

People are gonna meet up over Easter and Paddys day either way, same as Christmas. Not too many listening to the clowns on the hill any more.
