So construction sites remain open

Looks like this is the next thread stick to beat the gov with.

Some people won't be happy until we're all welded into our homes and the army patrolling the streets.

They are not talking to you, people need and like to have it all explained and emphasised.

Yes. Surprised about that. The unions are not happy.

All my work is on building sites but I'm not sure how happy I am with that either. Sanitary conditions are not good in any of these sites and with so much physical work, sharing tools, toilets, getting stuff from wholesalers every day etc. I feel the need to self-isolate every time I come home.
As much as it would cost I was still sort of hoping sites would close for a period

Did he say something about retired army members rejoining the army ?

Its their moment to be statesmanlike. Keep it short, sweet and clear. Less is more.

It absolutely is going to be.

Apologies - my phrasing is off in my post,

This isn't primarily an economic emergency, it's a primarily a health emergency. Construction, in particular large sites - should be curtailed. Solo tradesmen not so much but sites with >100 workers should be closed imo.

That's not the point....

He was addressing the nation.....he absolutely belted out a heap of places, like he didn't want people to realize what was happening

Very contrived and theatrical all this.....

I've worked on building sites for 30 years....no way will there be social distancing happening....not a hope!

Did Leo seriously compare himself to the 1916 rebellion leaders in terms of bravery? Cheap and tacky PR.

It's going to be on a list later. What difference does it make. Why is this an issue.

Theres alot of nonsense in this speech, Leo seizing his reeling in the years moment.

Some of the information relating to business supports/unemployment assistance is extremely vague.

He stated that would be given detail after he spoke. Stop expecting to be spoon fed.

Ten of Swords · 24-03-2020 05:24PM

Interesting choice of words from Robin Swann (NI minister for health) just now. He was asked about deploying the army

Folks, will I use the Army? Will I call in the Army If I have to? If we get to a stage where they can provide a service that we can't, folks I'll use whoever's at my disposal. I'll use whatever tool I have at my disposal to tackle this virus. If the Irish army want to come up and help us too when they've it sorted down there I'd be more than happy to welcome them

Was it not that 1 in 4 of new cases are members of the healthcare professions?

I’ve no respect for this post funnily enough either. Stop taking up room on this thread with nonsense.

Why is clear clarity from a leader addressing a nation during a pandemic not important?

Grand, lads...if you can't keep up with me, sure it''ll e online later for you all.:rolleyes:

bodhrandude · 24-03-2020 05:26PM

When are we getting an update of the new cases, is it 6 or 8.30 PM.

Accomodation sharing (with family or with flatmates) must certainly be a factor.

If you take a house share with 4 flatmates from 4 different Counties, they have close contacts not only with each other, but also with 4 different workplaces and then with 4 different sets of friends and 4 different families.

Dublin (together with London) must be the European capital with the highest number of accomodation sharing.

Is this your prepared speech for all situations?

I've read this same post at least 3 times!

For support, not the shooting of miscreants some people are hoping for.
