    Lot of positives to take from this imo. Overall message far clearer. Really hitting home the message to not travel and being strong about it. Not the half arsed, non-committed sort of message about travel and face masks we've been getting from the previous government.

    App launching tomorrow.

    Designated "co-vid team" to be arranged to help improve contact tracing.

    Looking into the idea of testing at airports.

    Already a far more proactive feel to this new government. More positives in that than anything Leo and Harris have been saying for the last 4 months.
    Are you taking the piss?

    I think this is the first time this thread has reached an overall concensus that everything couldn't be less clearer

    No idea why he's blaming the either pub industry for people drinking cans.

    likewise off to Lanzarote in August.

    They love throwing out the 17% of cases are travel related, 17% of how many cases ?? A bit of reality would be give the number of cases not the percentage.

    But sure look we must know different than every other country in the EU.

    They may forget about a bigger chunk of the EU recovery fund as well. Not a hope in hell would Ireland get a bigger amount now when we're out on our own in terms of travel

    It was 2% a month ago, now it is 17%. Increase of 8.5x!

    In cases, that's 1 vs 2.

    2% of cases a month ago is 0.92 (7-day avg was 46),
    17% of cases now is 1.87 (7 day avg is 11)

    Yeah banned wrong word but telling us not to travel - still not stopping anyone come here while telling us not to leave the country
    Double standards

    It’s fairly clear at this stage.
    You can go
    You can come back
    You have to fill out the form
    Form will be digitised and airlines provide the data
    You must self isolate for two weeks when you return.
    If you fill out the form incorrectly there will be a follow up as it’s essentially the same data that you use to fly which is accurate.

    If you had a lovely holiday in Malaga come back on the Sunday , then go to work on Monday. You are in violation of the self isolation thing. So you could be sent home. I guess it’s self enforced so you’ll always get dickheads on both sides.

    I'm far from that. Have never voted FF in my life. Just thought that was a refreshing change to what I've been hearing from Leo the last 4 months. Far more pro-active feel to it. Just my opinion.

    Did Billy Kelliher's trip meet the essential criteria? I won't ask you opinion on his failure to self isolate.

    Thought they were pretty strong on their stance that you shouldn't travel until the 20th tbh. Not difficult to follow at all.

    That's not new? That's literally what they have said since the beginning. It literally means nothing.

    Strong would be imposing a travel ban and an enforceable quarantine. Anything else is just b*llsh*t to appease curtain twitchers without actually doing anything.

    What do you want them to say? Tell everyone to head away to the UK now that one gob****e of a TD didn't isolate?

    The decision should've been made weeks ago. It's ridiculous nonsense. Every country in Europe but us, of course.

    Good leadership often stems from how you say things. I was commenting on how stronger they were with the message. Leo and Harris have been extremely non-committal in a lot of things. Face masks being a big example. Yeah they said you should wear face masks but they showed horrendous leadership in how they got that actual message across.

    Good leadership = "lets push it out another 2 weeks"?. Right. That makes sense.

    Most important thing for me is that we get our testing and tracing to an acceptable level. Its far from that at the moment.

    Saying that they are looking into testing at airports is a huge step imo. Obviously they have to deliver, but the fact that they are open to it is a positive step in itself.

    Can you elaborate? We've top 25 testing in the world. Even higher when you take out the smaller countries.

    COVID dashboard just updated, the new positivity rate for the past 7 days is just 0.2% in Ireland with 42,000 tests conducted in the past 7 days including 6500 in the last 24 hours.

    They are testing anyone who wish to, right? Compared to earlier when only symptomatic were tested.
