People who breach the Government’s COVID-19 restrictions can be issued with an on-the-spot fine of up to €500 under legislation to be passed in the coming days, the Cabinet has agreed.

The legislation will pave the way for proportionate fines for those who hold house parties, travel beyond the five-kilometer limit or refuse to wear a face covering.

However, this legislation will not be in place by midnight tomorrow when the new restrictions kick in.

This means that the current penalty of €2,500 or up to six months in prison will apply for travel restriction breaches until the new law is passed.

So much for the Church being too controlling.

In all seriousness. Has anyone else notice a hatred of Christianity and hatred of personal freedom and human rights often go hand in hand?

That all goes back to the writings of Marx and Engels.

Lenin continued on that theme by openly declaring that his followers “must combat religion—that is the A-B-C of all materialism, and consequently of Marxism”. Lenin’s first education commissar, a man called Anatoly Lunacharsky, openly declared, “We hate Christians and Christianity […] Down with ‘love of our neighbor’. What we want is hatred. We must know how to hate. Only then shall we conquer the universe.” That insanity survived to this day.

So what goes with Ireland - it's been all downhill ever since they legalized abortion.

The move to Level 5 restrictions was a difficult decision for Government, and is very hard for people whose lives and livelihoods are most affected, but it was necessary to interrupt uncontrolled exponential growth of the pandemic

needless panic - they are too much in in the UK's toxic orbit.

WHO finally admits lockdowns are not effective now. So no. Lockdowns are a power play.

Ireland is quite far from the UK’s orbit, in fact. They are more in the very toxic continental orbit.

And the amazing thing is that they still think they’re an independent, sovereign nation.

You do not want to get the Irish angry at you. They will remember for generations.
