Pubs and clubs the easy option again despite them not being the major drivers of numbers is depressing. I disagreed with people saying that there was anti drink lobby in our decision making but the treatment of the sector this last 2 years makes it hard to argue.

 Our health service getting worse and worse every year and the public being blamed for it for being out socialising. It was crumbling before covid with the numbers waiting on trolleys growing by the year and it's obviously getting worse. We pay so much money for the health system, more than most developed countries per head and yet it's a shambles. Instead of there being proper questions asked about this and genuine reform, we get the head of the HSE on mad money telling us that antigen tests were snake oil while they could have been used to stop the spread like anywhere else. Can't see there not being a partial lockdown in the leadup to xmas but it's like pissing into the wind at this stage
