For my own sanity I am looking to drive somewhere by the coast and just get some air and maybe a nap in too in this glorious sun A I being stupid if I drive the kerry mountains and enjoy the nature and just return home without having contact with anyone? Will I be harshly judged? Serious question now - I want to do my bit here and stay away

Now you can turn off before Glencar and head towards the Ballaghisheen Pass and go toward Waterville or Cahirsiveen. Alternatively go into Glencar and then turn off for Glenbeigh and drive down by Caragh Lake. Make sure you are well fueled up.

It's essential to learn from this event for the future. Any time you make money available you have a trade off between getting money out quickly and doing more thorough fraud checks. At the moment we're prioritising getting money out to people and organisations who need so mistakes will inevitably be made. Nobody is interested in pointing the finger at this stage, but it's absolutely necessary to look back at how things were done, what went well and what didn't.

If they drove on and just took in the views that would be fine. But they fookin didn't. What you are proposing to do is fine in my book.

I thought when the government said no don't go to work unless it was essential meant pretty much everything shutting down. I would not consider my job essential but I can't really do it from home either. Part of me is glad to still be working but I do worry about adding to the spread of the virus or getting the virus.
El_Duderino 09 wrote: » Yeah. It's completely against the spirit of the thing we're trying to achieve at the moment but I'm not going to invent numbers to help you realise the risks. Couldn't we all just choose to not be a knob about it and stay inside?

I think the citizens of this country can be very proud of the way they are conducting themselves in this crisis and the general feeling of goodwill and helping of others that is out there. There will always be gob****es around acting the b****x but they can be dealt with at a later stage and should not take away from the pride that we should have about our nation.
El_Duderino 09 wrote: » Yeah I'd generally agree that it brings the good ones to the fore. You see all the people who have signed up to volunteer help like the NHS register and all the Local Councils. Chatting with friends in the UK and they're taking note of which companies are behaving well and treating their staff well and which ones are just acting the maggot. Like the Sports Direct guy, Mike Ashley, and the Wetherspoons guy, Tim Martin, who told his staff to apply to Tesco. They plan to not use any of the businesses who are acting the maggot when this is over. It won't make much difference but I think this this has shown the good and bad actors in stark relief.

Same thing in the supermarket this evening on the way home from work. From some of the posts here I think some people will only be happy if the whole country goes into hibernation, which of course won't happen.
