    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

    Exactly. Slovenia relaxed rules today and let companies back to work. All countries are not the same.

    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?

    No that is still fine. Not sure what powers the police will have that will stop people going out for exercise twice a day! Nice advice but saying the police have powers to stop that bit is guff.

    Still a good step from the UK.

    Lol, people throwing hissy fits because people thought Boris delivered a good speech. A lot of Irish people are just hoping the UK goes to absolute sh*t over this., it's sad. Should you not be over on reddit ireland posting anti-Brit memes with the rest of the teenagers?

    No I shouldn't.

    Enforcement will be very difficult, and the British know this

    But the threat alone will make a lot of people think..so, some sort of result..

    They know is they cannot stop everyone e from moving...

    I wouldn't say so, leadership is about being able to course correct. He has demonstrated that he can

    Its all about timing lads, they keep telling us that. The UK have been saying it from day one. It may be too early for us yet but it will come.

    UK, timing?

    It was not that long ago that Health Secretary was talking about passing legislation to force schools to stay open.

    They fúcked it and now are panicking.

    That said if Ireland don't get a handle on the testing we will have no choice but to do the same.

    Exactly, we are a week ahead of them with closing down places and they are a week ahead of us with their 1st positive case

    Boris has stepped up restrictions. That's it. No tears

    Because we are testing at a snail's pace. The full extent won't be known here.for some time.
    We have thousands of idiots going around like nothing's wrong. Our figures grew by more today than ever. We had two deaths, we had four deaths in eight days before today.
    Tomorrow is likely going to be worse again.
    4,500 tests daily and rising. Yes they will get worse and we know that, deaths included. If what we are mostly doing now is effective they will still rise for a while but more slowly.

    I doubt they will bother. Who is going verify whether they do or not?

    I think that the time has come to have a lockdown. One of the first things that you have to decide is what would have to happen to enable the lockdown to be ended. It could be some time before it ends

    I'd imagine that announcement will be by Wednesday/Thursday. I can see this being extended to another 2 weeks and roll as needed

    Are all the posters tonight new to the party?

    Boris is great? Leo is a fool?

    I’d sooner be eating the cake one slice at a time (schools shut. Pubs closed. Paddy’s day cancelled. And a lot of restaurants and hotels locked up) for the last 10 days or so... along with a whole lot of visible social distancing...

    Than having The WOLE CAKE shoved in my face to wolf it down in a stupidly short space of time!

    The UK are what, 18/19 days into this (since 1st death) and ain’t going to see any results (from this lockdown) for another 2 weeks!

    How many will be dead by then?

    They wasted precious time and more importantly LIVES!!!! With their ‘herd immunity’ approach!!!

    This Friday - we will hopefully see the fruits of our approach.

    And we are the fools?

    Are we fûck

    Good speech by Boris Johnson.

    It just shows how vacuous Leo Varadkar's address to the nation was, where he addressed the nation and with nothing new.
    Sir O sums it up pretty well.

    Leo's was a hearts and minds speech and delivered well enough and needed too, but the measure of him will come if he can give a non fluffy we're in a war against an invisible enemy type speech and deliver on it. The phony war is over, now we need to start shooting back. If an eejit like Boris can...

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Dont think boris is saviour of the world. He f*cked up and now he is trying to rectify it. He has put my family at risk in england. I find ireland is doing a great job with the virus but idiots at the weekend have spoilt it for us sensible ones. I dont want a full lock down but i think its the only option now.

    Agreed we have to assume Leo had advance knowledge of this, I’m thinking Mary Lou also had advance knowledge judging by her demands for more action earlier. Maybe even Michael Martin also had been tipped off because this is the first time he had song from his own hymn sheet perhaps we are now witnessing political distancing in play
