I really liked Lisa, but given all of these points (which can't be disputed) it really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I think you either need to preach about the guidelines, and follow them, or get off the pedestal, because you can't in all conscience do bothShe never ceases to amaze me. I think she has no insight into her own behaviour if she’s pontificating like she is at present.
journalism is essential work as it’s about spreading awareness and keeping the public uptodate. The journalists are outside government buildings too which is outside their 5K.
I was sceptical about the show last night and had a few peeves, I wondered was is right to have a journalist walk through ED and learn how to put on PPE. But then they said that some relatives will make it in to say a goodbye to a loved one and they will have to put on all the PPE. Also, lots of people chilling at home right now are yet to become sick, if seeing the PPE and isolation rooms in advance helped to reduce some of the shock in coming into hospital- I think that is helpful.
I have a brother who always wants to come to my parents house for lunch/ dinner. Lately they told him it’s not safe but he arrived at their door anyway and they don’t want to fight with him. It upsets me so much because my dad is in the vulnerable group. I think the ICU nurse was amazing at delivering the message of how important it is to never ever leave your guard down. I’m going to ask my parents and brother to watch it on the player.
now let’s just pretend that Lisa didn’t sneak into Ireland through Belfast while illegally leaving a tier 4 area after she preached about covid for months to thousands of people... let’s just pretend that didn’t happen.
When we were in lockdown 1, didn’t she travel across the country to appear on the late late so she could imitate that cat that got the queen (mad for the attention)?! So did she not travel? Was her appearance in person really that helpful to the public? Could it not have been virtual- zoom etc?
I think she declared she was against the Claire Byrne show yesterday and just like when she broke travel restrictions before Christmas- she wasn’t going to admit she was wrong.
fact- show was actually tastefully done.
fact- Lisa is a hypocrite in so many ways it’s not even funny.
I find her the opposite of genuine now and yet she keeps up this “Cailin Mammy of the people” and never misses an opportunity to try and garner sympathy.
it’s nauseating!
Completely agree I would have been the same but you can't say it's wrong for one person to do something when you have done it yourself.I really liked Lisa, but given all of these points (which can't be disputed) it really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

She is some piece of workI am embarassed for her watching her stories. The lack of self awareness is mental.
They’re deemed essential services and are allowed to. One works across both countries and the other is a Mum who works 3x a week in London.I am confused why your family members are travelling home to Ireland from the UK during a pandemic?
It was NOT ESSENTIAL TRAVEL. There was a full UK travel ban in place because ya know -people are dying! Honestly, it’s actually staggering at this stage how plain stupid people are. It’s no wonder our country is in the state it’s in. Worst 14 day incidence rate per capita in the world and I’m still reading shit like this. Have a word with yourself because your ignorance is a public health riskThey’re deemed essential services and are allowed to. One works across both countries and the other is a Mum who works 3x a week in London.
I’m not going to qualify it/ it’s allowed and whilst it may be frustrating to the rest of us who can’t travel it’s not illegal? It’s considered essential travel.
I genuinely don’t get the issue with Lisa.
If it wasn’t illegal or against government regulations, why did she sneak in through the North instead of flying into Dublin?It is though? Deemed essential by Ireland. It actually doesn’t matter if we agree with it not, it is deemed that.
I’m not a huge fan of Lisa, I just think we’re dragging her over the coals for something that is maybe ethically questionable but not illegal.
54,000 people came in over the 3week period in December. She’s been tested and wearing PPE more than almost all of them. By any stretch, she’d be the safes to have in the country.
I don’t need to “have a word with myself”- genuinely not trying to cause an uproar, it just seems so ridiculous.
If there was

Flights were banned from the UK (and South Africa) This is common knowledge. Google it. There were a small number of emergency repatriation flights only, everything else was banned.Because they capped flights into Ireland? I’m not trying to start a fight with you- I swear. Flight were capped, so lots of people took another option. It’s not right (in my mind- and clearly yours) but it is a back door that exists. It’s only been today that the two cmo’s of the north and south have issued a joint statement asking people not to travel cross border. But it’s still not illegal if you’re deemed essential
