It's good they are keeping factories with 500-600 employees open tho , this should work out real well

snowgal · 24-03-2020 04:49PM

Why should they? They haven't lost out on anything additional due to this.

On the contrary, there's less and less for them to spend it on so they're actually up compared to normal!

murpho999 · 24-03-2020 04:49PM

Ok, so are we all happy now.

No more demands for places to be shut down.

No doubt as the numbers increase in the fututre, which is guaranteed , people here will state the measures are not working, government should have banned flights in December, curfews should be imposed and army should shoot all people on the streets after 6pm unless carrying a bag of shopping.

I was let go just before this kicked in. I have very little chance of getting work in the foreseeable future. Yet someone let go now is far better off. Not very fair. Not just because it directly effects me but it's clearly not treating people the same.

It’s not about people who were on SW before the ****storm getting a pay rise.

Anyone know where to find the list of essential businesses

Grocery shops
Pharmacies
Phone/BB Provision
Pharmaceutical
Infrastructure Upkeep
Medical

More I'm sure, but for the everyday Joe the top two are all they will care about.

By the time this is over we're all going to be going around with very long hair

Does anybody know whether Randox virus sample analytic equipment is in use in ROI?

But you have just said you where not effected by the virus, You where let go before hand, People have been let go purely due to Corna (act of god) you have not been,

How is that hard to understand ?

One person is on €203 and a month later another person receives €350.

Its crazy. I get people don't want scroungers getting a rise, but being lumped in with the scroungers here is a kick in the balls.

Yeh, seems a bit unfair in that case. Maybe pay the 350 to people who are getting payments based on their PRSI contributions.

antodeco · 24-03-2020 04:52PM

So is it April 19th or 12 weeks?

Gyms, leisure centers to shut, but churches and places of worship remain open ? Ridiculous decision, bat**** fûcking crazy.

Particularly given the age profile of attendees, but am I correct in thinking the churches aren't doing regular services at the moment?

24-03-2020 04:52PM

Hopefully the hotels move stops the tourists coming in. Essential (non-social & non-tourist) occupancy only. No doubt it's a move to create more bed space if needed. Hotels will have to do mass cancellations (if there are any bookings to be cancelled at this stage) and advise those affected accordingly I'm guessing.

Cupatae · 24-03-2020 04:52PM

I wonder will all the people that look down there nose at the Dole take the handout of 400 should be a interesting conflict ðŸ€£ðŸ€£

Churches are not holding public masses with several days I understand.
It can still be a place of solace for some to go on their own though.

Don't see how that is crazy.

I’d be advocating good health over solace. I’d be saying if you love your neighbor, keep the fûck away from them, if you want solace stay on your own as opposed to entering big fûck off buildings where people congregate, touching pews, furniture and all the rest.

Harry Palmr · 24-03-2020 04:52PM

Will DIY superstores be considered non essential?

If you spring a leak and need a length of pipe that's where I'd be going.

XsApollo · 24-03-2020 04:52PM

Well hopefully that’s a good sign for number today?
I’m sure they know how it’s trending today and have not seen anything massive.

cj maxx · 24-03-2020 04:53PM

Between this and construction sites I think it is going to turn out to be a fatal mistake and it wont be realised for another 2 or 3 weeks.

Is the priest going to go down and disinfect the seats after someone leaves? Haven't been to a church in years and only for funerals but I do remember hankies were often seen in hands while they were kneeling with their hands on the back of the pews.

lbj666 · 24-03-2020 04:53PM

They haven't really said anything about non essential travel have they? Just by closing non essential places they infer it. Wanna pick up some things in my gaff in Dublin to stop me going mad, but I've no intent in seeing any other human interaction while doing so.

Thanks for this, I needed a good laugh after the hysterics we've seen on this thread over the past 24 hours in particular.

Exactly, if you qualify for JSB for instance this is only based on your PRSI contributions, so these people are hardly described as "scroungers".

Its hugely unfair, if you lost your job in last 3 months. Significant increase in hard times for some, and not for others. People on JSB should not be lumped in with those on JSA (means tested).

Should be extended to help those on JSB, its bloddy basic. I have a feeling this will be challenged.
