Most if not all of Raheen Industrial Estate is in Ballycummin so the centre could be in any of the unused units out there

Most restaurants and cafeterias in the city centre appear to be open for business as normal and busy. How can this be conducive to preventing the spread of the illness?

Probably end up getting closed by the end of the week. I know a few places are gone to take away only and the likes of Canteen implemented social distancing measures last week.

Post offices have a new opening time of 8am with the first hour to accommodate older folk.

Well they will require a large car parking area.. testing doesn't require you to leave the car so this is perhaps most logical place given proximity to hospital.

They won't need large carpark. Testing in Croke Park is by appointment only, takes about 10 minutes and only allows 8 vehicles at a time. It's unlikely to be any different in Limerick.

I'm looking forward to the first night Costellos opens again...never again will I take that place for granted...well, not initially anyway!!!

The cure to the virus could probably be found in the carpet there

How is that relevant to your claim that a large car park will be needed? Appointment only testing with a limited number of cases for each time slot, as is being done elsewhere, means that a large car park is not needed.

Is there much left open in Arthurs Quay?

Cookiemunster I'm only stating what I've been told, what's with looking for a debate on who is right or wrong.. stop being so pedantic.

I went there this morning about 9.30.

Tesco of course was open, and fully stocked. The Eurogiant pound shop was open. Quay News (the paper shop) was open. The bookstall was closed but I'm not sure whether they're normally open at that time anyway. Didn't notice whether anything else was open.

Upstairs was all closed off.

Think it's best to have this as an all information thread for anything Corona virus related in Limerick and major news you'd probably miss in the main threads.

As of Tuesday night there was no restrictions on numbers for Dunnes in the Jetland, whether that changed yesterday or today though I'm not sure.

OP here. I vaguely intended the thread to be "stay safe guys", "take things seriously", "wash your hands", "avoid this place" and so on for local people because the main coronavirus thread on Board had become an unusable firehose. But shop closures and other local virus-related things haven't overwhelmed this thread as yet so I think, for now, keep it the way it is has become.

No restrictions at 6 yesterday evening, but it was not busy. The madness of buying as much bog roll as can fit in your trolley has passed.

Limerick leader has said there are a few drive thru testing facilities in Limerick tipp and clare. Hasn't specified where but they are all by appointment only

Anyone know of a supermarket or shop around that actually has disinfecting spray and wipes in stock? Maybe I'm just unlucky but I can't seem to find any.

Dunnes, Childers road has sprays alright, wipes were a problem. They weren't there unless you want to pay the premium for Dettol wipes. I'd prefer to buy the spray instead.

Herself indoors loves cleaning, would easily buy 5 packets of Jcloths per week and about 4/5 cleaning wipes. We have adapted to sprays now instead where they are in stock and not the exorbitant prices ones left.

As for me in Tesco the Cereal aisle was badly low on stock last weekend but seeing as I'm such an "old before my time" person my Sultana Bran own brand was very much in stock Seems some happily cleared the shelves of the 5.99 Cheerios and similar :O

Also Tesco, last weekend, had an outside agency assisting with stocking their shelves. Didn't catch the logo but they were in purple(I think) fleeces assisting restocking as quickly as possible.
