It is mayhem walked from Connolly station up talbot street you have dozens of young lads on bikes spitting on people and laughing

This is disgusting but what should we expect from the local "salt of the earth " or vermin as we call them. I hope in this situation the guards will now have the chance to beat the living **** out of them and not face sanction, call it public service. Equally I hope they transmit this to their skum families and have to live with it for the rest of their pox ridden lives.

These are the skum from north strand and surrounding areas for their families and parents I have one message , your children are vermin and they will probably do you more damage .

I had to pick up my SIL from the airport, and drove from Rathcoole then up the Naas Rd early this evening. lots of adults walking closely in groups in the village, 3 or 4 people. No social distancing, and these were people in their forties or fifties. Also several groups of teenagers, mid teens by the Subway.

Then in the Naas Rd, there’s a group of 10/15 teenagers playing chicken crossing the road just past the service station, all in dark clothing. Where are their parents??

My SIL arrived from Poland, via Germany. She had her temperature taken before boarding the shuttle, then again at the airport then here again on arrival.

Right . Ps how did you social distance in the car ?

Can anybody explain what the criteria for introducing a lockdown would be.

Today's figures will be from tests undertaken 3+ days ago. You will only see the impact of increased testing later this week

I doubt that, many many people have been tested more than a week ago and have no results, so maybe it is from test results rather than tests but we dont know if its test results from today or 3 days ago or 5.

IFA looking for help for beef farmers in this trying time. Jaysus christ, they never waste a crisis.

Maybe they could cull a few beasts and plant some spuds and veg. Keep themselves fed at least

Farmers got **** all help last year before this crisis, the vast majority of them are working full time jobs to subsidise the farming enterprise, when the 9-5 packs in i doubt they'll be entitled to claim the out of work allowance yet they'll still be expected to provide food at a loss.

Farmers won't have a pot to piss in but they won't starve either, think carefully before berating the hand that literally feeds you.

Finding worthwhile posts in this thread is like sitting on the banks of a river of fast flowing sewrage trying to pick out a few chestnuts of knowledge before they sweep by in the stench of self pity.

The good posts are there but who has the time or desire to trawl through the acres of shiiiiiite to find them?

Where are they supposed to get tillage/spud machinery from? The magic money tree?

Contractors do most of the work these days. Theres potatoe farmers close to me looking for extra land to lease.

I just like having a gripe at beef/farm associations, not the farmers themselves

The border should be closed donegal doesn't have the healthcare capacity to cope with these people treating it like a holiday

I agree with the line that you really, really, really need to think carefully and plan carefully for when you do the 'full lockdown' bit.
After you do, there's really nothing left in the weaponry.

However, I think a phased drafting of police maybe army at say amenities (beaches, parks, sights etc) to gently disperse the wnkers would be okay.
It'd get people use to seeing them around before the inevitable.

Also, caravan parks & holiday homes etc should be a no-no (see Donegal for example)

They were saying on Sky that his decisions have closely matched polling surveys. If that's how he plans to make decisions going forward they're in for a long ride. That is reactionary, not leadership.

Classic kneejerk reaction. Our Government was vastly more competent until the abrupt change of tact by Boris tonight.

It's 'change of tack'.
It's laughable to see the amount of people more concerned with what the British are doing and comparing our government with theirs.
Classic inferiority complex mixed with plain old anti-British nonsense.
Our government have been far from competent or decisive. They're afraid and unable to make hard decisions.

Yup, our numbers might as well be the lotto when it comes to trying to see if we are doing better or worse.

I think things will settle next week when the results of our social distancing start to kick in. I mean the more cases the find now the better long term, at least thats what i'm thinking as of now.

RTE's Northern correspondent saying that the lockdown in the UK is putting pressure on the Republic to impose one. Trying to tell us what to do when they've only just implemented something from nothing until now. Fcuk off.

He's an RTE employee, not the British PM, he's not telling anyone to do anything ffs.

Most Police services use spit-masks for such filth. The individual is restrained and it is pulled down over their faces.

Meat is too cheap, plain and simple. They dont get enough for it.

Im from a farming background so I know whats involved.

If we end up with a lockdown similar to the UK where you can still go to work
An accountant can go to work if he/she can maintain social distancing?
A builder can work on a new house? Concrete can be delivered?
A garage can operate?
Marts are closed?
Courts are closed down but solicitors can go to work?
Postman can work?
The council can surface a road?
A man can come to adjust your satellite dish
A vet can go to look at a sick cow?
A food market can go ahead?
A landscape gardener can visit a site?
A farrier can shoe a horse?

If they stopped flights coming in that weren't cargo, I would be happier. Other than that they've handled things adeptly.

Its a bit of a clusterfcuk, maybe the UK have it right and were only testing really sick people because they knew they couldn't actually process tests for just anyone with symptoms.

Obviously we are doing lots of testing but whats the point if the labs can't keep up.

ninebeanrows · 23-03-2020 09:47PM

I see lots of people giving out about social distancing with picture of traffic jams.

I dont understand how this illustrates any poor social distancing behavior? People are in cars, most are just going for a spin, some are going for a stroll in some isolated spot and a very very small minority are meeting friends at the beach etc.

I think overall we are doing well, there will always be a few knobs, perhaps some further tightening is needed but people should still be allowed drive their cars or go for walks whilst socially distancing.
