    And you got such abuse on another thread for highlighting this, what is wrong with people, do they not understand the meaning of social isolation, I notice the police and civil defence had to intervene.

    I had a quick look at that thread on the West "overforum" and peas for brains springs to mind.

    How can you possibly say it will make the front page of the Irish Times tomorrow, not even the editors will have decided that yet.

    They should be denied care if they expect it - doctors like at some stage to have to prioritize, so they should be just ahead of the Cheltenham folk at the bottom of the list

    I agree peas for brains is the blow ins not the locals. The same thing is happening in rural UK - the Scottish highlands and the Welsh hills being inundated by people from London etc.

    Just to add would like to thank boards for closing the previous thread of looking for bit of support for this today .
    Boards Might have done your bit for ur country if u left it open besides protecting the clowns that don’t understand to stop spreading the virus . https://twitter.com/clarechampion/status/1241753423474720768?s=21

    The virus doesn't like fresh air, so once you keep the 2m recommended distance, there should be no problem.

    If anything it is important for mental health to get out of the house.

    Problem is too many people don't think about looking for other areas to walk. Miles upon miles of roadway on the burren, plenty of quiet inlets, but everyone goes to Lahinch?

    Bless your innocence! We have a couple of freelancers here in Clare who are so prolific and fast that if one of us so much as breaks wind it's in the nationals before the smell has cleared!

    Indeed, people with zero cop on are travelling long distance because today is Sunday and the children want an ice-cream. A serious attitude problem prevails, "I'm alright Jack it won't happen to me". I live 15km from the coastline in Clare, wouldn't dream of going near it and haven't done so in a fortnight. Stricter measures need to be implemented, otherwise there is potential for rampant spread of covid-19. Cannot let a minority of ignorant people cause significant grief for the majority.

    Where is the statement that people must stay at home.

    I've seen where those who are not well or have been abroad must self isolate and stay at home.

    Everyone else have been told to social distance themselves.


    If you can link to this new "stay at home" statement, it would be appreciated.

    - official source please, not fakebook or some rag like the daily mail

    I brought my 4 kids to ballybunniin yesterday and left them off they were like young calves after been left out for the first time in spring back in to the car again after an hour and home for another week. I honestly thought I was doing a good thing getting a bit of sea air and getting them out and about.

    People who gather in places, indoors or outdoors, where it is completely unrealistic that they can maintain the required distance between themselves and others at all times are clearly not well and should stay home. Is that clear enough for you?

    you were, as long as you and your kids kept their distance from others

    Nothing wrong with that as long as you observed the distance rules, that is all people are asked to do, to have respect for others and maintain the 6 feet distance, if this is not possible, move along to a quieter beach.

    Why was the op banned? Something very wrong about that, anyone shed any light?

    Nothing to do with this thread, no reported posts or mod actions in Clare thankfully, please keep it up all


  • Registered Users Posts: 358 ✭✭Balagan1


    Been pointed out to me that people are at all stages of the dawning realization chart as to the real dangers of failing to maintain social distancing and more. This clip of Dr. Catherine Motherway of UHL goes a long way towards hopefully putting us all on the same page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jpbnLBwlKo

    Lets not speculate into what has happened to a poster, it's nothing to do with Clare so lets leave it at that.

    The problem is when hoards of people go into the chipper, ice cream shop, petrol station, sweet shop etc. etc.

    Lahinch is a small town, when its sunny, it gets very busy.
