There closed Tuesday, not sure if just for the day or for 2 weeks. Garda have hired a load of 7 seaters to take us home Monday night...that might sound like a pisstake but it's not.

Must be the Killarney branch- they’re known for doing that:pac:

Don't have a huge issue with leo heading over. Coveney is doing a great job and its probably better to let him at it.

Agree on that Coveney is far superior and seems to be more engaging

I think everyone needs a boot up the arse! I have a 74yr old mother in law that thinks it's ok to go about her daily routine, maybe it'd be a good thing for the government to express how dangerous it is to that age group. With no internet only daily news they dont understand how harmful it is!

It’s scary just how many need that boot up the arse... even my father this evening..

“I’m walking back from the chemist and met this French lad, looking for the Spar, he couldn’t understand the directions I’m giving him so I walked him around, nice fella, visiting his nephew”. Jesus man, point, smile and fûcking walk, AWAY ! :rolleyes:

Thanks for the reply. I'm with Aviva and was trying to read through the small print and also trying to google it.

I presume cover only kicks in if it's a government enforced closure?

If it were I've gross profits cover which would enable me to continue to pay staff their full wage.

Yea it's more than likely in your policy have a look around page 26/29 ish. Yea you can pay them full wage but you don't need to as there entitled to the dole so you can just top up that if you want, I'd pay it out once they come back to work. Not all might return so I'd say to them you'll cover the balance only when and if they return to work, that's the way I know a few places are doing it. It's what I'm going to do on legal advice.

Totally, order every broadcaster to play a 30 second add outlining directions/dos and don’t.... first add AND last add during breaks... tattoo it into people’s brains, radio the same.

I heard an ad on one of the radio stations today, don’t know which one and if it was a hse ad or just an ad/ advice from radio station. It was basically telling people to wash their hands for twenty seconds and then it played snippets of songs that were twenty seconds. One was dance monkey. I though it was good. kids in school were told to sing happy birthday to you to make up the twenty seconds while washing their hands.Good too I thought.

But they have a job , its just that it is forced to close under government order, so why claim job seekers?

Because they need money, I now have to claim jsa, I was temporarily laid off on Thurs when museums shut. Private employer, in cafe, won’t get a cent from employer.

Are you talking about Louise O’Reilly?

She was an excellent Union representative, securing loads of concessions for her members, but that is exactly the wrong kind of person you want in control of the health service.

I though the G in Garda alway stayed straight on an uneven surface.

It did look good until it was zoomed in.

Fair enough good of them to announce it person. Shows some respect to it Had expected some change in tack (didn't know what, I just assumed from the conference).

The rented cars with the G on an uneven surface are probably for raiding the Clayton (Pearse st. I believe)again with lads in hazmats. It seems to have gotten away with it the last few days.

If there was an opinion poll now i'd say FG would be well up on where they have been.

I can find little issue with how they handled this so far.

Larbre34 · 15-03-2020 02:42AM

My close Garda relative tells me:

Yes, a delegation from the Garda, Defence Forces and HSE did in the last few days requisition 300 vehicles from car rental companies, 210 are going to the Guards, the rest on a standby 'white' fleet for whatever authorised agency needs them.

No, it does not mean there is going to be a major tightening of the current situation. The Guards are moving desk jockeys and trainers into operational jobs, they don't have nearly enough transport on hand. And the HSE need more vehicles for testing, allowing ambulances and emergency response cars to be available for what will be a very busy time regardless. Its just contingency.

They are long standing staff so I'm not worried about coming back to work.I can work out the situation with the dole when a shutdown happens.

I will check out the policy tomorrow.

Thanks for your help.

So is it completely irresponsible to go to the pub? Myself and my wife would like to go down for one, not necessarily because I'm mad for a pint but I want to support my local business. While one drink won't make it break them, I want them to still be there when this is over.

What do we think?

PayPal them a tenner.

We’d be pissing ourselves laughing insanely with worry. Imagine, some brain derelict cùnt giving out advice about how to avoid the grave when the likelihood is that him and his mates contributed to a fair few going into one, no thanks.

Don't really understand what the government expected to happen why they didn't force the pubs to close. For them to close voluntarily?
