Yesterday
This afternoon
Fencing off areas where the 14 – 18 age bracket congregate is an absolute joke. These people have sacrificed a year and a half to help more vulnerable members of society. They deserve a good summer. Let them party. pic.twitter.com/R31Mwt1CSN

Everybody cut footloose.

Stephen’s Screen.
That is just about the size of it.. ring fenced public amenities .. no shelter or shade for youth.. shocking how literal that reactionary response has become
Bravo!
In fairness bandstands were a hazard before the pandemic… a symbol of British imperialism that has infected our youth to the point that they all slavishly support a sasanach football team… they all need to be removed to save us all…
It seems like the yoots were sitting on the roof and damaged it.

If it is damaged then the OPW are obliged to screen it off – what would happen if someone came to harm?
Can you imagine MB a swing and a can
The perfect storm
BANNED Stand.
Have an outdoor summer, they said.
“ First they came for the bandstands, and I did not speak out…”
The hits keep coming. Well done.
If a Denis O’Brien company distributed street bins, there’d be one every 10 metres.

As frequent and as many as a Dublin bus stop! Might as well just bundle them together at the same time
The good old days
That’ll stop the kids gathering.
right, so ridiculous
I look at it differently
I have a teenager and he could be one of the feckless bringing this disease into my home
If I do not work I do not get paid
shouldn’t you have locked your teenager up or are you one of these parents who expects the state to Supernanny ? ;)
Jaysus but we’ve become a nation of fuddy-duddies.
Let the teens have some fun. It’s their summer hols. I know my kid is out every other evening playing with her pals now the evenings are longer and I wouldn’t deprive her of that after the past year.
The Nanny State has been with us a long time, and they love the recent ramp-up.
Broke out of the house recently after eight months and procured (first) takeaway pint with a friend and popped inside the Royal Hospital Kilmainham gate on SCR to enjoy it in the early evening sunshine. All was going well until sneaky security guard passed us unknowingly and locked the gate. After several protests with him, he refused to open it but suggested we run and make it out of the Military Road Gate before he got there to lock it. Asking if we could use the toilet facilities before suggested sprint, we were met with another stern ‘no’. So, legged it one direction to the trees to water them and then raced in the other direction to the gate. Pleasant pint ruined. There was nothing ‘anti-lockdown’ nor ‘Covid-risky’ we were doing…it was all about regulation and the power of a high-vis jacket. Back in yer boxes, folks.
You should have sat tight and told him you’d ring the fire brigade once you’d finished your pint. He’d get into some doo-da if you injured yourself scaling a wall, the bleddy bluffer.
They lock the gate at the same time every day, It’s the time that it says on the sign on the gate. 6:30pm if i recall correctly.
Am pretty sure there’s a bell or an intercom on the military road gate so that they can let you out.
Any time I’ve approached that locked gate the car gate has magically opened (rather than security having to walk down and manually open the pedestrian gate)
No doubt security there are pissed off with the amount of extra work caused to them by idiots.
I don’t really blame him from hurrying you out with the other gate is about to be locked excuse.
If you want to drink in IMMA then do it during their opening hours, it’s not rocket science.
p.s. Most if not all public parks have bye-laws prohibiting drinking alcohol, IMMA doesn’t seem to have such a bye-law.
p.p.s takeaway drinks can’t be consumed within 100 metres of the pub where there were purchased, so don’t get caught just inside the gate
Last words on
A COVID ward
The fact is the government closed down a nation stopped me from my constitutional right to earn a living while ensuring all government employees got paid
Now I have had 2 years on quarter pay ie government hand out
So tough on all who want to throw a spanner on the works and throw off the shackles
So a little patience
It’s not as though the consequences of this pandemic is baldness
Fence me in
Tie me up and call me Rosie?
Probably a reaction to them bottling each other yesterday
If their aim is to mobilise the largely apolitical section of the younger generation and get them to the polling stations at the next general election to vote this incompetent shower out of government, they’re doing an impressive job..
If there is one thing this whole sorry mess has shown, it is how many wannabe authoritarian despots we have in our mist. Power hungry creeps who will seize any opportunity to hide the fact that they are useless at their jobs.
WHERE ARE THE BIN EMPTIERS?
Very Stephen King.
Lol!
can someone photoshop Mr Holohan into an Archbishop McQuaid outfit/image?

Yes!
It would take 2 minutes at most.
Would you like me to show you how?
…at a SPECIAL rate..?
(€5 enrolment fee, then it’s only €20 per week.)
Stop that. Memes?
I fancy him in jackboots with a whip in his hand- no wait, that’s just a lookalike on Recon.
It’s like the government are trying to create a ready made cohort of angry disaffected youth to make up my militia when I ascend to the position of Warlord :-) God help us all when the young decide they’ve had enough and run riot.
The ‘Young’ haven’t got a hope. They are good kids but they know nothing.
They are locked in their bedroom by The Internet, by choice…
The children are NOT our future.
Some of them don’t even know there was a lockdown.
Edwin Poots for Taoiseach.
Give Poots Freedom of the City, for the sheer irony of it.

Oh he wouldn’t like that at all now.
At this point in mask/lockdown maleficence- I would actually support that?
But you’re not springing headlong to the far right just because people think the pandemic is real?
Which far right is do you mean? Globalist or Nationalist?
Whichever panders to your paranoia, presumably.
My paranoia mainly comes from the Irish Left- especially those who will never see a poor day in their lives- a bit like yourself I expect?
Your paranoia comes from unfounded assumptions about me? Your unfounded assumptions about me have nothing to do with whether the pandemic is real or not., that’s just displacement.
Anyway – can we fence off Nathan Carter next?
Nathan Carter would probably wear the TikTok bum hugging leggings if it increased his brand sales- make that a definite.
No doubt whatsoever
I saw him rehearse with his ensemble in a warehouse one day , the scale of his assembly was eye-watering
He lives in a new build three story ‘bungalow’ in Fermanagh- enough said.
something to dream about
Someone needs to bring along a “Kim Jong Holohan thinks we’re at home” poster to the next public piss up
Dinny must be kept fed.
Young people at statistically no real risk from covid to themselves, whos parents and grandparents have now been vaccinated so who are at very low risk of covid complication, having fun in an outdoor environment that the HSE themselves says is responsible for only 0.1% of covid spread?
Its shocking really. I can see why the state needs to do everything in its power to clamp down on this.
60% of exports are pharmaceutical?
At least on official spreadsheet.
Say there citizen.
Do you live in Ireland??
Do you like the Catholic Church???
Do you miss the puritanical rules and dogma that make no sense whatsoever and that can change at the whim of a single male quasi religious figure?
Well, you’ll love new and improved – NPHET and the church of ambiguous safety!
Simply check your brain at the door and we’ll take care of everything.
100% satisfaction guaranteed!!!

The 2021 RTE / Irish Times narrative for at least the next twelve months. Meanwhile- keeping jabbing those useless eater nursing home folk eh? Sure nobody will notice.
They can have fun outdoors. They’ve instead decided to pack together as closely as possibly in the least outdoor space in the park. There hasn’t ben a good job done to facilitate outdoor socialising but what they’re doing in the band stand is just dimwitted.
I was just thinking back to that mural of ‘Superman Tony’ painted on the side of Devitt’s in May 2020 with hashtag “Soon”.
Came across this article from the same period:
https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/arid-31000447.html
‘Dr Tony Holohan mural to be auctioned for charity’
‘The artist has said on social media that when “lockdown is over” the pub will “very kindly let me auction my Tony Holohan mural for charity and include a personal whiskey locker.” ‘
‘An iconic piece of artwork which will go down in history,’
I say it’ll catch a fair price at any upcoming auction. Big market for memorabilia connected to notorious historical figures :P
And, as if that wasn’t enough, towards the end of the article they move onto how great Eoghan McDermott is cause he shaved his head for charidee.
What a difference a year makes..
needs more matt le blanc.
