Lifting restrictions is insane when cases are on the rise again. I understand that businesses are desperate, but who seriously thinks it is safe to keep us all behind masks and yet let people loose on the dancefloor, not socially distanced, breathing harder because they are dancing, without covering up? The Government should stop being wusses and stand firm, otherwise we’re never going to get rid of this thing.

I have been in two restaurants recently where vaccine certs were not checked. Both restaurants said this was an error due to new staff not being trained – but I feel that it was restaurant policy in each case. This lifting of restrictions will lead to more deaths, inevitably of older and weaker people, even though the overall vaccination rates are high. For my part, I intend to avoid pubs and all potentially crowded entertainment venues.

I think it may have come wrong time of the year, should have been tried in august, however we cant stay in lockdown forever, so its up to individuals to be responsible for their own actions

Went to Costa coffee for a sandwich today,and was asked to show my covid certificate and ID and leave my phone number bc I wanted to eat in. Fucking ridiculous. Let's go back to normal and leave us alone. The State doesn't need to know where I have my lunch

People will often say what they think you want to hear.

Covid is here to stay and like influenza let's manage to live normal lives with it....C'est La Vie.

Bullshit

time to follow proper, competent nordic science, not this drunken paddy nonsense cooked up by the likes of tony cervical cancer and his electrician sidekick

Just got back from the beach in sunny old Florida. It warms my heart to know that so many people have given up their freedom… bums

Interesting reading the media’s polls and everyone thinks the restrictions are great, but when you see independent polls on Twitter they are 90%+ against restrictions

Dearly me! Who'd have thought all contributors would be singing from the same hymn sheet? It's like you would only publish accounts from people who adhere to the party line. That is of course if you believe such a survey was conducted at all. Sorry, just me being paranoid.

Good to see lots of different perspectives represented here 😂…np ability to leave comments either. Good job 👏👏👏

We did it here in Michigan. I am double vaxxed and I mask. I am also isolated with Covid for ten days. Nothing symptomatically serious but theres that red line so I'm def infectious.

I'm concerned about never being able to go back to my old interests and hobbies, my health condition means I have to shield from Covid, and thus avoid indoor spaces. People like me are being sidelined, written off. Sad.

And not One Fu*k do I give about Irish Times readers opinions. Open up and drive on.

Covid nation ramping it up.

If your that concerned stay at home and hide under the bed and let the rest of us get on with our lives

A wide representation of ireland there I see 😂😂😂 Amazing not one single reader was happy🤔 It's almost like the IT is trying to drive an agenda

Brilliant to see young people out enjoying themselves, but sadly I see a big problem coming.

what's funny is covid is on the rise in Ireland and that's without lifting restrictions hahaha. because lockdowns and the vaccine isn't working

100% we are going on another lockdown before Christmas 🙄

Worst possible time to relax restrictions!! 🤡🤡🙄
