    location isn't great for the entire city, I think I read somewhere that CIT was being considered.

    correction: I think CIT was being considered for helping out in the testing department using their labs.

    Second confirmed case in UCC today. This time it's confirmed in a student.

    The first case was a visitor who visited the Western Gateway Building on Western Road a few days ago.

    It was confirmed in an email to all students and staff about 30minutes ago and posted on their Facebook page.

    I was going to drop into Paul St Tesco after work yesterday & they're making people queue on top of each other it looked like to get into the shop. Didn't fancy the idea of that given current distancing recommendations so headed to Dunnes instead where it was quieter by far & was able to get my few groceries while maintaining a bit of social distance.

    It made it much more comfortable in the store itself. Agree that people in the Q are not keeping distances. Tape on the floor at 1m intervals might aid this. Lidl in Cornmarket Street are operating a similar system.

    I queued to get into Tesco, Paul Street, yesterday. It was well managed but still there were people trying to sneak around the queue. Selfish fcuks.

    The upside of queuing to get in is that it's lovely and quiet once in and no queue for the check out.

    yeah and i managed to get a bottle of dettol anti bac spray today and vit C effervescent tabs (none there any time I went over the past 2 weeks).. win win .. replenished stocks aren't being depleted as fast now - due to the queuing and that fact that those greedy stockpiling feckers sitting at home with copious amounts of the stuff have realised that they have enough - or have ran out of space to store them - or funds to buy them - which ever

    Of the first 350 cases 62 are in Cork, most likely quite a few people walking around asympomatic I'd say,

    62 of 191 additional cases of COVID19 confirmed in Cork - Source RedFM

    I assume with more test centres and kits, numbers will rise with more being tested

    Thats wrong, its 62 of the first 350 cases as was said in the Brief today and the posting later on.

    But yeah, cases are gonna rise a lot I would say with the testing going to increase. Heres to hoping it doesn't increase too much.

    I don’t see how Debenhams survives this. They were on their arse to begin with.

    Nope, just that 7 of the 350 are. Would be nice to get more details alright but I suppose this is a lot better then the original "south of the country" stuff

    Name and shame, by all means, but I don't think they are actually breaking any law. I suspect they will bring in emergency legislation to deal with these scum.

    Again, there needs to be a law in place to do this.
    At the moment, bars are closed under advice from the government.
    I'm not condoning pubs defying this advice but talk of fines and taking licences is just silly talk as no law has been broken.

    I do think these bars should be named and shamed.

    Agree totally, also I can't fathom why ppl can't supervise their kids ref dragging them into shopping centres,and out walking letting them do as they want,don't get me started on gangs of teens congregating around Carrigaline ,it's fuc*ing grossly irresponsible parenting,PS I'm not a grumpy drawer's and am a dad/ grandad but a responsible one

    I agree with you to a point but its not silly talk. Its blatant and gross negligence of the highest order and I don't think there needs to be a specific law that they are supposed to break before someone should come down hard on these dirtbags.

    Its exactly this type of (era sure it'll be grand, have a pint and a sing song) attitude that is going to cause this surge that Varadkar was talking about.

    People still aren't taking this seriously. I honestly find it baffling.

    Can Dettol kill the CV? It says on it that it kills 99.9% of bacteria but I take it that it also kills some/all viruses too?

    It doesn't really matter what you think. The law is the law - we can't just throw it away as we feel like - emergency measures need to be enacted.

    I totally agree with you on all the other points - we shouldn't need laws for these people to comply - but it appears that we do.

    Yes, it is mind boggling how some people just aren't taking it seriously.

    Are we going down this path of silliness? Thinking is having an opinion. If you want to go with that logic you could reply to every single post here offering an opinion with ah sure it doesn't matter what you think. Its a non statement.

    I agree yes we have to operate within the law but they (the pub owners) clearly don't give 2 ****s about any laws or the well being of the dummies sneaking in for pints.

    Anyway. The sooner these emergency laws are introduced the better. If people here think its restrictive living they should take a look at the current situation in Italy. Authorities are basically ordering people on the street not to group together. And more.

    Any reason why these pubs can't be named?

    I'm sure the public will remember their great civic mindedness after this is over.
