They just won't allow pubs or restaurants indoor service. They wont allow foreign travel or inbound tourism. Everything else will return to normal

Enforcing what exactly?

I've passed 2 checkpoints regujlarly the lat2-3 weeks and they're grand.

There are EU regs on the environment that have insane protections for obscure species. Turns out there are loads of weird species all over the shop. There's a judgment about slugs or snails or something out there. Really hard to comply with the rules too. :lol: Someon on twitter said it had given r...

Nope, up near Cross Guns bridge. They've already built some houses at Smurfit, dunno what the rest of the plans were. Think they're going to build more, the ones there cost the guts of a million each though so not even sure if they all sold. Ah yeah. I saw one complaint along the lines of "500 peop...

They’re biodegradable. And it’s like I’ve thrown bags and bags of shite in a pile. So? Would you fling your normal rubbish into the bushes if you put it in a biodegradable sack? Compulsory dog nappies, that's the way forward. Yes, I would carry a bag of rubbish out into an area with no bins and thr...

paddyor

I could be wrong, but I thought the point of the bags is that you are meant to bring them with you instead of making dog shit Christmas trees on the street/in the park Knot endorsing it. He told me how bizarre it looked. Because people used the same tree to make it easier and yes they looked like C...

The shit all over the place is, well, shit. It was bad enough before as a certain portion didn't pick up but it seems half the new dog owners couldn't be arsed. This is giving me the rage at the moment. Constantly navigating kids, buggies and scooters through streets of dog shit. It's dogs off of l...

Can anyone explain to me the thinking behind going as far as bagging your dog's shit but then leaving the bag hanging somewhere or worse just on the ground? I nearly hate those people more. Biodegradable bags? I use them, when I can’t find a bin I usually Chuck it in the bush’s. My dog trainer in f...

The problem is it's a catch all for 4 different things. Effects of treating the infection (scarring of lung tissue from being on a respirator - long term) Aggravation of pre-existing condition Short-medium term after affects of a virus I can't remember the last one.... It'd probably be better if the...

Fantastic progress.

Is that 2 doses?

My sister in London got her first dose about 2-3 weeks ago. No idea how she qualified though as she's not at risk or working in any kind of essential industry.

SO like most teams then? Picture tells it’s own story. Very poor counter attacking and kick return rewards. Only really scoring from positions in oppo 22. Defence have gotten too good to win games off phase play against the top teams. https://www.the42.ie/analysis-ireland-tries-2020-5342685-Feb2021...

You said McCarthy, a 3rd choice Leinster scrumhalf, spending 2 seasons as 3rd choice Munster scrumhalf was a disaster for the scheme. It wasn't a great move for McCarthy, granted. No provincial shuffling to going to be perfect. There's been good and bad examples of it all through the pro era, and e...

paddyor

I don’t know why you’re doubling down on this, there’s literally no sense in your argument whatsoever. A third choice player moving to another province and failing to succeed is not a “disaster” to the player movement policy or anything of the sort . Player movement is essentially about getting as ...

Leinster are running a business it would be better for them if the surplus went to England or stayed in Wales in Beirne's case. Leinster are a regional subsidiary of the IRFU, who are running a business. It is better for the irfu to retain assets within their home territory. What did the IRFU, Lein...

Salanoa was behind the number 1 and 2 Irish international tightheads. He didn’t know Furlong would be injured until now. And Leinster didn’t want to let Salanoa go. That’s a bad comparison to McCarthy whatever way you cut it. McCarthy is a 3rd choice scrumhalf. He’d be a 3rd choice scrum half at an...

I’d just like to know what your solution is to the excess of supply over demand at Leinster ? Obviously every player coming through the academy can’t stay long term given current volume. I’m sure even Nucifora knows that every player transfer won’t go perfectly so it’s hardly a “disaster” that McCa...

paddyor

Exactly. His prospects haven't improved at all after the move. So he'd have been as well staying put. But a) it wasn't just for rugby reasons and b) he might as well have had a go. It hasn't actively hurt his career, so what's the problem? I think it probably has. 6 starts in 2 years wasn't what he...

The latter IMO.

I think some retail investors will get burnt. But the whole point of this for a lot of the guys on wsb seems to be the chance to stick it to the hedge funds. It's amazing how despised Wall Street is.

IMO the international reaction was against the export block not only the Ireland hard border (they probably weren't bothered by that as it does not affect them). The ability to block exports has still gone ahead, we shall what the EU states do with the power. It leads to consequences like this http...

Yes we know. But it's the fact after crowing on and in about it for 4 years, about how it was a red line that could be crossed because the EU cared about it, they tried to. all it took was some unwarranted paranoia about the UK for them to try to erect a hard border, less than a month after making ...

Arlene Foster and Boris must be cracking open the champagne. It shows that all the whole reason for the N Ireland Protocol (not to have a hard border) was just a political tool. The EU never gave a monkeys about the Border and never gave a monkeys about the Irish. They have now set the bar for invo...
