Frank also joins @joeliveline from Gran Canaria and is defending his decision to travel during Level 5 restrictions.
He says he feels safer there, “You’re not suffering any mental anguish, the weather’s good, the pubs are open and the hairdressers are open.” #Liveline

Una joins @joeliveline from a very sunny Gran Canaria.
“I can see a blue sky, beautiful shrubbery, a pool…my own patio where I have breakfast outdoors.”
Una calls in praise of @Ryanair, without which she wouldn’t have been able to go on holidays last Saturday. #Liveline

Galvantin’, Joe.
They have a taste for sunshine and relaxed living; but is it socially tasteful in these anxious times? Maybe there can be a poll?
But people are eating children in Washington. On sorry that’s up there with piazza gate, gemma for pres, the guards and mms are all corrupt, there are no posters on here that are click baiters, there is no virus, people are only dying cos of the flu, masks are worng, Trump is not a liar, mechanical engineers know more than doctors, jewish lazers caused fires, the RA does not engage in smuggling or drug dealing, shooting of guards or prisoner officers or any form of criminal activity.
PARKLIFE
And that’s bingo! Anyone else?
I heard that in the car. You can’t stop people thinking for themselves. Their decision to travel was considered, not reckless. The callers were bordering on hysterical.
And to say it is a holiday is a stretch. Una is planning on staying until a vaccine becomes available here.
I’m sure Joe Duffy will do his usual calm, reasonable moderation on this emotive issue and will not attempt to inflame the situation in an attempt to bump up ratings.
*Hurdy hur hur*
Guarantee when the number of people who have been vaccinated has reached a tipping point, Ryanair and AL will jack up the price of flying
fair :::ps t’ them
grrrrrrrr this makes my blood boil/ Let them do what they want. LET THEM DO WHAT THEY WANT. They’re old ffs. What have they got to lose. People ranting about captain tom / sir whatever tf taking a freebie to the west indies. Why tf shouldn’t he. Oh should his family have gone ” let’s wait until you’re 102 or something, you know, when you’ll be safe” If you’ve a pension who tf cares where you draw it from. I AM SICK OF THIS. let them do what they want. Let everyone do what they want. This is no way to live. There is no life here. You might as well be dead. You might as well catch COVID just to break the utter monotony of this non existence and hope for the best – bit of a gamble. Oh and spare me the usual suspects coming on here giving it the “think of the care workers” or “think of the old people” . Might as well say “think of the potted plants” because potted plants have a better quality of life than most 50,60,70+ inmates – held without trial. If this carries on George Lee is going to jizz himself on live TV and Claire Byrne will self combust having run out of ways to patronise the country. Ah ffs, maybe too much merlot but it is Thursday.
