    Feels like Groundhog Day. Nphet’s proposals - • Close pubs/restaurants early • Shut nightclubs • Only 3 households can meet • Reduced capacity at indoor events • 50% public transport What was the point in the vaccines if we are going to have these restrictions?

    Got speaking to a Croatian guy in a restaurant in Berlin last night. He lived in Dublin for years but left because it had become so unaffordable. He’s now renting a two bed in Berlin for €750 a month. He paid more to rent a room in Dublin The grass isn’t always greener though…

    Went to my first eleventh night bonfire on Monday night. And went round quite a few of them in Belfast before they were set alight in the afternoon. This is my take - Eleventh night bonfires: This isn't culture. This is a hate fest | Newstalk

    Grafton Street as soon as the pubs in the City Centre shut at 8pm 👀 The 8pm curfew should be lifted immediately, this is ridiculous

    I am sure Donegal people are over the moon they’ll get 20% off the train now… That’ll help with the high petrol and diesel costs

    Infectious Disease Specialist, Sam McConkey says there needs to be a facility near Dublin Airport were people are made self-quarantine. He says people coming in from Covid hotspots like Dallas are the ones who should be made self-isolate

    So I just got a call from the contact tracing team; I am now in self-quarantine. I’m allowed to go outside for a walk or run, as long as I maintain social distancing. I’m not allowed in any enclosed spaces. #coronavirus #COVIDー19

    Back in Dublin after spending Christmas up home. The North was pretty normal, with most pubs and restaurants open with people out and about. In Dublin, everyone who is tripled jabbed, with no symptoms, are doing antigen tests everyday, to see if they can go outside… 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Paul Mescal is asked how “wild” it felt meeting King Charles at the Gladiator II premiere. "I'm Irish, so it's not on the list of priorities". Does the reporter asking the questions think the King is also the King of Ireland? 🤔🤦🏼‍♂️

    Rugby fans are singing ‘Zombie’ because they know the words. I think it’s the same with people singing along to the Wolftones. There’s no deep meaning to it. Most of us have sang along to songs at some point without a second thought about what any of the lyrics mean…
