Sorry if this has been answered. I can't find concrete information on the government website. Does anyone know if tradespeople can still work in homes?

We recently bought a house and are due to have gates installed, electrics redone and painters in. Does this work fall under construction? Thanks

I have the same question. I am guessing not, seeing as it is in your home. Imd due to get wooden floors installed, and going to call them today to see if they can still do it. But not hopeful

We're paying on the double now for the illegal drug trade

We're fuelling the demand for illegal drugs with lockdown and PUP money. Prices and usage are rising and more tax dollars are being spent on the drugs.

We are spending much more on the drug war with Garda resources etc.

Just to be clear. It wasn't the GAA, it was individual members of clubs who choose to engage in after match parties, outside of activities associated with the matches themselves

So it was a bunch of individuals...:rolleyes:

Considering that Tony Holohan's wife is in poor health, doesn't that mean that his judgement is clouded? After all, would a GP or surgeon who had a very close relative who was gravely ill be considered medically fit to practice?

Yes, in most cases

100%, he is only human in fairness. We would probably all do the same but to answer your question no he is not medically fit to practice.

They should have allowed walk-ins. Going through a GP for an appointment puts some people off, I'd imagine.

Another problem is everyone and their mothers are declaring at the test centres that they are working in healthcare/ teachers to get priority results so they don’t have to wait longer which is incredibly selfish as it stops essential workers getting back to work as fast as possible which was the whole point of it

But the distress caused by a close relative's severe illness is bound to cause that physician to act irrationally.

Yes its allowed, obviously ensure that they follow guidelines, masks, sanitising hands etc.

He seems calm and reasonable to me. Do you expect people who have tragedy in their lives to be running around like screaming morons? A lot of people have terrible suffering and manage fine. If you start eliminating the people with suffering from the work force there will be very few left. Fcuks sake.

If your spouse was sick and you were in control of delivering advice on a virus, would you personally recommend the harshest of restrictions, do you not think your own personal interests could come into play.

Do you not think his own personal interests could affect his deisicions, also do you not think the hse members are also trying to cover their failings, otherwise give me a reason why we have the harshest lockdown in the world and every other country knows less than us.

Their plan is... Hold on like this until a vaccine. In and out of rolling lockdowns and hope for the best.

I imagine a lot depends on the effectiveness of the vaccines and rapid tests currently being trialed, and until they have this information it's difficult to predict the future. We should have this information before the end of the year.

If the vaccines and testing are very effective, then the government can plan for a relatively rapid recovery with perhaps a series of increasingly smaller lockdowns over the next year. If they are only barely effective, we'll need more of a "living with" strategy (or even zero Covid).

Interesting, he was right on case numbers but was he right on hospital and icu numbers. Our icu numbers decreased overnight. What numbers did they predict for both of these.

He was right we needed a lockdown

I just feel that if you question any element of the Lockdown strategy, you are considered a pariah of sorts. Annoyed that the Anti-mask/lockdown brigade who have mass gatherings in Dublin City Centre seem to have taken the prime Anti Lockdown position.

We don't appear to have any strategy beyond December in fighting this pandemic in Ireland. very depressing
