    Yes, that's what I mean. Observing 2 metres distance.

    I've been watching Neighbours out walking together all day. Individuals from different houses strolling together. Just saw another pair ambling up the road. A foot apart at best. WTF is wrong with people? These dopes don't even go out for walks normally.

    So would it be improbable in your opinion? I'm not so up on my constitutional law unfortunately. Might be worth reading up on if this gets as bad as it has. :eek:
    Difficult I think, hopefully existing Acts being trawled through to see what can be done via Ministerial Orders, and of course the Dail could legislate and try to delay a referral to the SC, but in view of consequential losses they'd be pushed to do that.

    28.3.3
    3° Nothing in this Constitution other than Article 15.5.2° shall be invoked to invalidate any law enacted by the Oireachtas which is expressed to be for the purpose of securing the public safety and the preservation of the State in time of war or armed rebellion, or to nullify any act done or purporting to be done in time of war or armed rebellion in pursuance of any such law. In this subsection "time of war" includes a time when there is taking place an armed conflict in which the State is not a participant but in respect of which each of the Houses of the Oireachtas shall have resolved that, arising out of such armed conflict, a national emergency exists affecting the vital interests of the State and "time of war or armed rebellion" includes such time after the termination of any war, or of any such armed conflict as aforesaid, or of an armed rebellion, as may elapse until each of the Houses of the Oireachtas shall have resolved that the national emergency occasioned by such war, armed conflict, or armed rebellion has ceased to exist.

    Of course a machiavellian stroke would be to act in order to ensure that such circumstances could be deemed to exist.

    The priests giving sermons to fully empty Churches on the news was pretty eerie.
    Yeah, eerie that in 2020 the news is finally just biting the bullet broadcasting mass on the fúckin state airwaves. Catholicism has always and will always have a stranglehold on the country. Didn't see any of the livestreams from mosques and synagogues. Anyway, fairly unimportant stuff in the scheme of everything going on but as someone without a religion I'm happy enough to remain at home.

    I hope the elderly can access the livestreams all the same :(

    Things are tuning nasty now in this thread that the flow of drink is to be curtailed.

    Board rules attack the post not the poster and you have painted a very large target on your posts.

    Cop on ffs this thing is getting worse.

    You cop on. Those figures are a spot on percentage of the total.
    Take it somewhere else

    Just been to a Tesco in Dublin 9... shelves rammed , about 20 shoppers in the whole store which is a very very large one... everyone just strolling around to their hearts content having a relaxing shop. Zero signs of anything aside from a normal Sunday evening, no shopping rampages.

    You're being asked to stay on the sofa. You got this.

    I hate to say it but we don't have the capability to care for all the serious cases.

    So what's the problem?

    Tony Holohan said there was nothing wrong with family members walking side by side. As long as they practice good hand hygiene and cough etiquette both inside and outside the home.

    The point was made by my grandmother that she's never seen mass stopped in her life time. I couldn't think of a time when they would have closed. Whatever you think about the church good or bad, it's been a consistent part of Irish life through good and bad times. It does kind of wake you up to see them closed.

    How long should it take before we see the results of schools and pubs closing.
    alroley wrote: »
    2 or so weeks I'd say.


    I'm much more pessimistic and think we'll see the results tomorrow and the next few days as health staff are forced to off load children at friends or elderly parents because of NO creche/school facilities.

    They should have held fire until as close to April 6th they could when plans would already have been made by most parents for the Easter break

    There was an Italian Doctor on Sky news last night who gave an interview from the center of it.

    He was pretty fúcking clear what not to do.

    You'd be very naive to believe the figures out of China. They are way way higher than they are letting on. They aren't welding people into apartments for nothing.

    It's a pity they weren't closed for good.

    Do people think they bolted people in Wuhan into their apartment blocks for no good reason? For the craic?

    What is it about us that makes us think we will be any different?

    It’s an abominable arrogance.

    Does it not tell you how serious they think this is that they opted against that?

    Seriously, i'm seeing people doubting the severity of this, as if they think the government has bombed the economy gleefully. Would it not make you take a step back for a moment and ponder that if the governments, not just of Ireland but accross the globe, are willing to drop a nuke on their economy that maybe, just maybe, it's more serious than you're realising?

    What stopping people from walking into ticking bomb? If you don't name the town, village or city you don't what is happening there. Revealing, how the 40 people got it, and where will stop further spread in the community.
