I have decided I am opening my restaurant July 1st no matter what. That gives them 4 months to sort out everything. I’ve done everything I’ve been told to do. 55k came in from uk with that variant, now over 1500 from Brazil.
The problem is no longer us. It’s an incompetent Gov
Right. I’m going to address the elephant in the room that everyone is afraid to address. This lockdown approach is now affecting more people in this country than the pandemic itself and something needs to be down.
Our government has both lied to us and failed us & here’s why
The largest passenger plane in the world, flying halfway across the world, with the Premier of one of the biggest polluting country’s in the world, meeting the biggest clown in the world that’s forcing Irish farmers to cull 200,000 cows because their farts are destroying the…
Last year Ireland hit a highest temperature of 31.3°c. Nothing in the media. In fact, all we saw from them was how to enjoy the fantastic summer. Go to the beach, eat ice cream etc etc. what to wear even.
This year, THOUSANDS MAY DIE!
Yip, no agenda here at all…..
I hang my head in shame and embarrassment. This is the worst government I have ever witnessed in my life. I’m not sure if anyone agrees but so much has been done wrong. There is absolutely zero leadership. No body knows what’s going on.
Maybe I’m alone in my thinking?
We will be opening on the 5th July no matter what. I will be asking the Gardai to use their discretion based on every hotel, hairdressers, bookies, supermarket & many more businesses being wedged every day
It would be great if every bar & restaurant joined us. No more of this
Does anyone else remember when they were a kid in the front seat of your parents car and they made you put your finger on the windscreen when driving over loose chippings so the screen didn’t crack?? Is that still a thing or was it only me??
Just off the phone with a friend of that owns 2 gastro pubs. Monthly energy bill gone from 7k to 16k for both
It’ll be 100% on this government once all these businesses go bust very soon. They can solve this with a stroke of a pen but point blank refuse to
Carnage awaits.
It’s the year 2056. Those on their 76th booster are blaming those on their 75th for the current surge. You go out for dinner at 8am cause restaurants must close by 10am. Simon Harris is our Dictator. Tony Holohan is President.
The lotto still hasn’t been won
Only 2 more weeks
I’m embarrassed to say it but for the first time in my life I despise my government. Every day I get angrier and angrier. I work at least 80 hours a week just to try and keep my business afloat because of what this shower has done over the last number of years. Questions I ask…
Refugees to be offered modular homes and those who move into the homes will have to pay a utility charge of €40 to cover electricity, internet, and waste disposal. It is understood that a rental contribution of 16% of income or welfare will be charged.
A beautiful thing happened at my aunts funeral yesterday. Directly opposite their family home was a big construction housing complex.
All the workmen downed the tools, walked up onto the main road & formed a line of respect. About 30 of them
It was amazing to see
I know we’re not allowed to say these things but at some stage we’re going to have to have this conversation
Hotels full of refugees in rural Ireland is having a catastrophic affect on tourism. We are filling hotels, cutting supply, driving up prices resulting in a disaster
A professor very worried about eating outdoors in case of catching COVID having no problems going indoors to make his point in a tv studio. You couldn’t make this shite up.
#cblive
Every government meeting should be available on a live stream. Including all global meetings such as Davos etc. We vote them, they represent us yet once in power, everything is a secret?
First time all summer. A table of 10 no shows. We rang them. ‘Oh, forgot to cancel. Sorry!’
We turned away about 60 people tonight!
We never asked for a credit card because we have to ask so much from people already
Absolute inconsiderate wankers.
I’ve no intention of losing everything I’ve worked my life for because these idiots can’t close airports, ports or agree on boarders
I’m so angry, annoyed and have lost all hope with the people running the show.
So that’s it. I’m opening my restaurant for indoor dining 1/7/21
Theres no such thing as easing of restrictions until this ridiculous vaccine pass is gone. It hasnt worked & it’s done nothing but cause division. Theres absolutely no reason to maintain it. They cant even find the slightest ounce of science to back it up. Omicron has proved this
I’d say it wouldn’t be that hard to get a new party elected in this country with this mandate

Well done again Ben. Whether you agree or disagree…
I pass the same check point every day since reopening. On way home today I dropped them off sambos, bottles of water and our flapjack protein bars.
I hate when people give our gardai shite. We’d be lost without them.
Gotta admit, I’d stand with this Enoch Burke lad in a heartbeat purely for his determination. Right wrong or indifferent, he’s some man for sticking to what he believes in. And for what it’s worth, I agree with him.
Queue the trolls……..
Enoch Burke is the red line,if they cross that and dismantle his constitutional rights then it’s game over for us all.
He’s the beacon of light on the hill.
Was asked to post earlier than 1pm in case it helped some businesses sooner rather than later.
Every single bar and restaurant in Ireland can use this and it might just save a few of us.
The last part of the vid is up to you!
See my next post for longer explanation.
We’ve had just over 270,000 cases of Covid & almost 5000 deaths in Ireland since the start for 16 months
NPHET now predicting 3 times the cases & 1/2 the deaths in a 3 month period if restaurants & bars open
We now have 4.1m vaccines done
We’re not allowed to question this

Almost every case of COVID now is the UK variant B117. We were warned about it. Told it was highly contagious yet they did nothing to stop 55k people flying in from the UK over Christmas. The huge spike started directly after this. Hospitality was blamed & used as the scapegoat
Lunchtime Easter Sunday and not a single message from our Taoiseach, Tánaiste or incoming Taoiseach, wishing the people of Ireland a happy Easter.

We must do everything in our powers to protect our Farmers. We can not let them succeed in dividing us on this one
Without our Farmers, EVERYTHING collapses.
You can not stay quiet on this one.
All anyone is talking about is immigration. In the pubs, shops, on the street chatting. Everywhere!! People aren’t even afraid to be talking out loud anymore either. They don’t care. They know they are not racist but have genuine concerns as to what this current government is…
At least in my head I now have a date and it’s put everything at ease. I am prepared to be arrested if need be. I no longer care.
I’m not a conspiracy nut job so don’t bother telling me to open up now. I’ve done the maths and if I’m not open by then, everything is gone
I don’t know what to say to the thousands of people that have gotten in touch with me over the last 24 hours with absolute incredible support. I never expected my tweet to blow up like it did

I’m not telling any business that has been forced to shut to do the same. But all I’ll say is that there is strength in numbers
If this doesn’t force a government to sort this shit out once & for all, I give up. I’d rather fight my own battles than take another cent of state aid
If I was to run for politics, I would try my level best to

This weekend was always the busiest weekend of the year in Killarney. Anywhere from 10-12k cyclists down for the Ring of Kerry plus a Munster Final every second year.

There. I said it. There is a huge elephant in the room and unless we accept this, do something about it and make the really tough decisions, the irreversible damage will be a thousand times greater than the pandemic itself.
I’m gobsmacked at the amount of people getting in contact telling me to please keep shouting. Thank you for your support. You’ve know idea how much it means.
I won’t be shutting up anytime soon.
We can all disagree on a multiple of issues in this country but we must all agree on one
No one in the Republic of Ireland should ever gift their vote to Paul Murphy ever again. NEVER!
€138.9 a litre for diesel in Killarney today. The Greens, facilitated by this incredibly weak government, are about to fuck that price all up with increased excise tax in a few days

If you make Simon Harris you next leader, you can say goodbye to your entire party
Trust me.
No Irish were put up in 4 star hotels, luxury holiday homes, fed 3 times a day, given medical cards, free laptops and a social welfare payment that was almost double the average monthly salary back home.
But I take your point
When we Irish, as immigrants escaping famine, war or a collapsed economy, arrived, destitute, in New York, we read the words on the Statue of Liberty.
“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free..”
Nobody mentioned vetting.
Our national day. The biggest free marketing we get on a global stage to promote our country the world over and we send this
A drag queen!
Out of everything, and everyone, we could have sent to promote our nation, this is what we send
A drag queen

Its very simple. This government made an absolute bollix of the current immigration procedures. Instead of admitting it or trying to fix it, they’re doubling down on it & calling anyone thats pointed this out to be far right, racist or a trouble maker
Just fix it!!
Rural Ireland is in serious trouble. This tourist season is way down even if some idiots are trying to say otherwise because they think it’s better to lie than tell the truth

You don’t need to be a psychologist to understand or feel how palpable the anger is right now with the Irish people. This latest debacle within RTÉ is pushing everyone one step closer to going off a cliff edge. It’s a culmination of years of madness and how much financial pain

Seriously though, remember what happened after Bertie suddenly resigned.
Either things are about to get a hell of a lot worse in this country, or there’s a serious scandal about to break
No one just resigns like that for no reason
Just to put this into context, so hopefully others might get as mad and angry as I am about the complete incompetence of this man and his department

Population of Killarney has now increased by almost 13% due to the arrival of refugees and asylum seekers in the last 6-8 months
Yip, perfectly normal situation I guess. Say nothing. Keep the head down. Don’t be a party pooper. Can’t see anything going wrong here at all at all
The government are going to spectacularly lose this referendum. They will then finally realise what will happen them in the upcoming election and you will literally see them crawl and beg for your vote by uturning on every policy right now
Not one woman I know is voting yes yes
