Luckily Regina brought self employed into the welfare bracket last year or I'd be screwed at the moment.

Amen to that, brother (or sister/other).

I don't know.

I would take any story from the Daily Mail with a pinch of salt but from that story the word seize is a bit of a stretch. They're moving equipment from universites to labs.

yes, it's not as dramatic as being made out:
"a Whitehall source has said the military was acting as 'essentially a delivery service'. "

the military have been delivering medical equipment ( such as facemasks) to hospitals all day today in London.

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

A mate of mine was made redundant in December, few interviews for a couple of different places and then was offered a job with an Irish company only to be told two days before their start date that the position was no longer going ahead. I'd imagine a few will be in this position.

For the people who were let go. If there company was to reopen later. Do they have to apply for there jobs again?

Are they let go or is the place just shut. I imagine once the place comes around ppl will get there old jobs back no one is gonna just kick a fully trained good employee to the curb

Is this the case? Someone I live with is waiting on a test but I've been in work. I'm not showing any symptoms but still may be a issue

Don't know the details but it looks like you will have to self isolate now also.

So we can't go buy clothing, but Doggy Style is fine.

Dogs still need food, bedding and whatever treatments you get for them in there (flea/worm etc) so it is important i suppose

It's gonna be a handy way to weed out dead wood though.

All the workers in my office told to report in tomorrow. 90% of us do non essential work but still told to come in. 50 of us in the same office. All 2 meters apart though. I would of thought non essential workers wouldn't be asked to go in. But seeing as 10% is then they are putting us all in the same boat and getting everyone in

When the hospitals are buckling over the border, where do we think our brothers and sisters in the North are going to go? If you think the recent panic-buying was crazy, wait and see how a population reacts when their hospitals are no longer able to cope, and a short drive down the road, the hospitals in the republic still have some capacity.

I do not say this to scare-monger.

I raise it because I haven't seen anybody else talking about this, and I believe it is extremely important for a conversation to start here, so that our authorities can put a plan in place asap to cope with this heretofore unforeseen demand on our health services.

Agreements should be in place between Ireland and UK, and possibly between Ireland and other EU Countries (am thinking of France - as it is the closest by plane).
Ireland might need to have the possibility to fly out patients as well.
Germany have been taking in patients from France, for example.

I’m waiting for test. We weren’t sending kids to minders since school closed anyway. And husband hasn’t gone to work and won’t until I’ve negative test. (Fingers crossed) husband is fit to be tied. Would prefer to work but he’s no other option we were told. It’s not easy

Lockdown dis & lockdown dat
Don't go out or leave your flat,

Gangs of hoodies on da go ....

Social distance what a pain
Queue's of shoppers in da rain
Hording loo roll by the tonne
Wash your face & wipe your bum...

Wear a mask & wash your hands
Don't get sick man, "swollen glands"
Keep your distance, stay away
Stay indoors now night & day...

Donald Trump is in the da house
Orange skin man sexy spouse
Somting's happened wit his hair

Most of these shops are closed anyway so this shouldn't represent huge changes that we've already seen.

A couple of my local barbers were still opened today. I suppose they will have to comply.

These places should have shut a week ago. No need for libraries, hairdressers, fast food outlets to be open this long.

Ilac and big sports stores have remained open all this time and even had sales which results in huge lines to get into stores

Italy: +5,249 new cases/+743 additional deaths.

Looking at the press conference there and Regina Doherty speaking, I remember listening to her on the radio with Miriam on the Sunday after the election as someone who had lost her seat. It all seems so long ago.. I bet she never thought she'd still be at the frontline of government fighting this pandemic. Fair play to her and all in government.

Leo said there would be a list published as to what defines and essential service that can stay open.

Anyone know where this could be found ?
