Removed the post now but this is what he did have listed

- Health Care Workers and Social Carers.
- Food and medicine providers.
- Public service / civil service.
- Utilities.
- Transport (Lorry drivers, hauliers, bus/train)
- Journalists.

That's a short list but there are a lot more businesses that are deemed essential that many may not think of. Supply chains for some manufacturing companies can be quite large and include lots of small companies providing parts or services.

I personally know of a few which I was surprised to hear were given the essential status.

I’ve no TV - maybe someone could assist - have gone back to page 310 of this thread and no specific or link. Of course on the gov.ir Covid 19 page there has been no update since March 24th.

Maybe someone could tell me, please.

Are we not allowed out now without a permit or something?

I find it strange that the goverment did not contact BOARDS.IE and get the brains that are posting on the CoVid19 thread to sort out this problem, reading all these threads and a I am amazed at the amount of expert geniuses that have come together in this site, they would put the geniuses of the history of the world to shame,

Well actually...

I have been asked to try and spot some knowledgeable posters but have just drawn blanks so far:(

Still, there's always some hope and if I can't find anyone I could well die trying

Not sure how to post a tweet....from Richard Chambers of VM1 on the essential workers list.

I don’t think this list can be final. Construction is ongoing on a number of medical facilities which then opens up a huge number of workers and suppliers

Building medical facilities is one thing, everything else is not essential

This move can only be welcomed. Far too late though.

Not if people had listened instead of packing out pubs. Big queue's at MC Donald's nationwide. HOW SAD that was. Lots of fools in this country.

Not surprised after the amount of twats out last weekend

The reason a 2KM limit is attracting criticism is because it's transparently a figure picked from thin air, merely because a figure had to be given.

It’s essentially to limit Dubliners leaving the city

Well the majority of the replies seem to think that going for a drive would be completely out of question due to a breakdown / crash.

While I personally see it as a lower risk than walking in my local park or going to the busy supermarket, I wanted to gauge the opinions on here.

You got your answers. Stay at HOME.

46 doctors have died to date in Italy (4 additional today). 6414 health workers have tested positive.

I wonder if this is accurate. I think a better description may be
"The healthy with no known underlying conditions"

A lot of people have conditions that simply do not present in a way that causes concern. That may be heart, or perhaps lung conditions. It's not likely that many postmortems are being carried out in places where this virus has taken hold

That is very true. Young people dying from coronavirus is much more likely to be evidence of undiagnosed conditions than any problem with the stats which say this affects older people overwhelmingly.

Tell that to the black & white sidekick walking tepeatedly across the parked traffic spitting on cars today - about ten yards uo from the garda station - open. Or to the 8 dossers spinning ribbons and spread sitting on the footpath outside rhe grda station blocking everyone from using it without stepping over them. Oh yea - very proactive. Locked inside eating Tayto I’d say.

Can't see any of the pharma companies closing. All either making medical devices or products.

They were taking their lead from the Taoiseach who was flying over and back to America? Crazy to think that was only 2 weeks ago.

It will stop consumer price deflation. If we get to 20% unemployment then rents, and everything else will drop in price, people cant pay rents when laid off. They will eventually (post lockdown) leave the country, or go back to their parents house. Rents fell post 2008.

The government will pay HAP anyway, which is money borrowed from the future, although that too can be monetised by the ECB.

Even the US is doing that.

Rents might not rise in absolute terms but they will rise in percentage of disposable income.

I actually think helicopter money will happen as politically it is a very easy sale (“give the money to the people instead of giving it to the rich”). And to be clear I perfectly understand that feeling and indeed agree QE, low rates, repo operations all benefit to people with expensive assets. But while it will feel good at first I am convinced it will not serve “the people” in the end as it will destroy the value of currency and thus of their savings and pensions; while never really helping them because as I said the value of money is relative to what others have so if everyone gets more no one really has more purchasing power.

Can someone explain to me what exactly this “lockdown” means?

What happens if we go out? I need to run an important errand tomorrow - are the guards going to stop me?

So if someone jumps on a bus will the bus driver ask them are they working in essential services.

If no one is supposed to be going out then why will buses be running?

The post I responded to claimed that it was the "elected government". Clearly that is wholly untrue.

No, you called it a junta. Whereas it is clearly the constitutional government of this country, and the bill was passed by the elected Dail, approved by the constitutionally appointed/elected senad, and signed into law by the elected president.
