Will this impact on movement from UK to Ireland?

Does anyone know what this means for intra-European travelling, as in someone studying in a European country for Erasmus atm?

So they gonna stop a taxi at the border? Come on. You can pass laws or make recommendations but with a land border you're fighting a losing or at least not winning battle - see 1969-1995

It's been done before - see 2001.

A more workable approach for us would be the north breaking rank with the UK.

It can't exclude Ireland because then we would be banning travel from the continent!

We'd be in a new travel zone with the UK essentially.

We already are. It's called the common travel area and it's not new.

For the UK or Ireland?

An EU official says the border closure proposal would cover 30 countries and "the UK and Ireland are encouraged to align".

How is this going to work - in Australia you need to have an old geezers card to take advantage, do I need to bring a copy of my prescriptions and/or driving licence?

Just sent an email to Tescos customer.services@tesco.ie suggesting they follow suit.

Would this mean Ireland refusing entry from UK ?

But the UK is not in the EU?

Probably get a tit for tat response, but regardless unless Ireland is wanting to end the CTA, which would then completely **** the GFA, then he should have no problem getting home from Cardiff.

We've paused the CTA before. And we should pause it again. Stopping movement and interaction is the ONLY way to slow/delay the spread of this disease.

There was a new article today that China had issued a new lockdown in a different province.
That article has been removed from thre feed thy also have an article that the European central bank don't want to help Italy.

The real problem is the fcukwits will probably not be effected by the virus but pass it on and potentially kill or make someone very ill.

Fcuking donkey politicians. All of them, everywhere. If they began these measures even 2 weeks ago we would be in a better position. I know our outlook is grim but we would still be in a better position.

In fairness, some of the 20,000 in Spain are retired people who would spend a couple of months there over the winter. I'm not saying that's all of them, but it would be a good chunk. My friend's parents have an apartment in Tenerife, and are there at the moment.

Video message from Giovanni Zampino a 40-year old who's been in intensive care at the Maria Vittoria hospital in Turin for a week.
He was admitted to hospital with his father Antonio, both diagnosed with Covid-19. Giovanni is winning his battle while his father Antonio (76) lost his. The last time he saw his father was when they were admitted and he discovered he was dead in a text offering condolences. "I think he died at the beginning of the week I'm not sure."

He also said, in a separate interview, that he learned of the death of his father through some messages of condolences that he received on his phone, but he doesn't know when exactly his father died.
He adds that he won't ever forget the look in his neighbours' eyes when the ambulances took him and his father away. They looked at them as they were plague-ridden.


This is terrible too. The fact that for the rest of his life he will remembered by his neighbours as the CoViD-19 carrier, something that he might never get rid of.
