    Good luck with enforcing that in some of the London boroughs, the army will have to be deployed

    If necessary they will be.

    Queueing for a McDonald's is about where our society is at alright.

    Didn't someone get banned, and called racist for making a similar statement about the Chinese and wet markets ? :confused:

    We're now much looser than UK. People cannot crib about UK now. Our own house is not in order.

    No we're not and this shows that you and others don't get it.

    The levels of infection at this stage are less here than UK. We took actions sooner.

    UK is at Italy levels of deaths and infections at this stage and we're not.

    UK lost 2-3 weeks of social distancing and delay due to their poor decisions and Ireland didn't.

    It's only a matter a time before people on here are quoting God Save the Queen. Jesus Christ, never seen anything like it.

    I find it odd how people here have been critising UK response re no partial or full lockdown for weeks and now it happens they don't want Ireland to go the same way because you have far fewers cases? That's what you were saying about the UK when our numbers were creeping up! We are all in this together to an extent, all countries need to work together if they can and look at what the other is doing very carefully. No defending Boris or the Tory government - this should have been done much earlier - but very glad it has been done. We're all on the same page here, luckily the trolls are long gone, but personally I think Ireland needs to take the same action. The longer you leave it the more needless deaths.

    Behind closed doors still has a lot of people there.

    Did you not see the pictures of crowds at beaches/beauty spots over the weekend?

    Queuing for chips in Howth ffs

    I was out on Wexford’s beaches every day , social distancing largely working , in major ships too, one of two places are not well prepared but in general , I’d say it’s working reasonably well.

    Just after hearing that my partner's sister got spat at in the face in the queue in Lidl today. She was at the belt in one of the social dis boxes, woman behind her was coughing and standing too close. She asked the woman politely if she'd step back, no the woman spat in her face. The woman had a young child with her. Imagine that being your mother! They served her then banned her from the shop.

    Ireland has been doing great, lets get real, every town and city in Ireland is a ghost town, yes a few sneaky pups open in rural places, and people going on trips to scenic areas, but that's a drop in the ocean to what we have achieved regarding distancing .
    We haven't seen '' sardine in a tin'' type gathering in Ireland, like we've seen in the UK in the past two weeks.

    Exactly nearly all of us have dropped our contact with other people 5 to 10 fold. If you stop taking the luas or dart make that 100 fold. Even for the goms about mingling contact with people has significantly dropped through no effort of their own.

    The government handled this exceptionally well at the start. But they've dropped the ball since then. A lockdown is the only way of dealing with this and it should have already been called.

    Based on what exactly?

    Because a few people on Twitter and Facebook are shouting and roaring for a lockdown.

    Our case numbers are below projections at the moment and social distancing is only a week old, at least let them see how well its working. Which is is by the way. If you read the CMOs comments, public health doctors when contact tracing now are only seeing contacts within the home. That shows it's working to an extent

    People suggesting that the government is somehow to blame for the public's incompetence is a bit off side. For instance, how would 10000 guards have stopped 2 million people visit elderly people yesterday on mothers day?

    People have to abide. They have to cop on.

    What even is this post?

    Some posters actually seem to be getting some perverse enjoyment out of the situation unfolding.

    not enjoying it one bit. i'm technically now under house arrest by the British state.

    just pointing out that this situation is beyond anything even in World War 2.

    Horse racing behind closed doors and strict conditions.

    Social distancing is going well here I feel.

    Also, most restaurants, coffee shops and cafes are closed. Must be at 95% levels.

    Horse racing is a frivolous extravagance that shouldn't be happening during these times even behind closed doors.

    Will we still be seeing 10s of thousands of people cramming on the London tube tomorrow morning at the behest of some short arsed power tripping middle manager or is that cut out?

    Once that genie is let out, there is no going back. Economy is destroyed. We may suffer more deaths and suffering because of that fact. There is no good outcome for his next move whatever it is.
    Im sure the economy will be screwed what ever we do now. After this weekends events with cues at chipper in howth crowds in other tourist spots. I feel leo now needs to force extra measures because some people just arent listening.

    It'll be next week before they make any call. Don't look to the UK herders for guidance on this.

    We don’t , each country has to take account of demographics and pop density etc , Dublin may need more extreme measures, but Ireland has a tiny fraction of the population density the UK has. We need to take account of national circumstances rather then just simply aping others

    Lockdown is not going to undo the damage Johnson's WW2 pantomime has done already. Calling it now after making an absolute balls of the response to this point is essentially theatre.
