    Serious question.

    Have to bring the dog to the vets next Friday to have 30 stitches removed from an injury.

    Vets is about 4km away from the house.

    Can I do it (assuming the vet is open)?

    Cut them out yourself I guess. But what about picking up returnees from train or airport?

    Nothing mentioned about how they’ll police any of this and it feels like an ultimately pointless speech

    Like a teacher telling 5 million people to behave and hoping they’ll listen

    In some areas in Italy you're not allowed to go 200 metres (not 2000) beyond your house. It's monitored with drones.

    Only one person per household is allowed to go shopping. And in some areas they are delivering face masks to each household.

    Drones:):)

    2km is generous enough. You can still do a 12km run without being more that 2km from your house. So not that much change for me really

    I can't see why not.
    My GP is about 10km away. I had a child with a 39.9deg temperature today and I needed a prescription, after a phone consultation, with the GP. Doctor doesn't do emailing scrips. As far as I am concerned, I will be going to my GPs office if it is needed.

    Pharmacies allowed to renew prescription if considered appropriate.

    At this point I say **** the economy.

    I know this is a popular soundbite but without an economy there'll be no health service. All of these measures need to be paid for.

    Without an economy, once this crisis is over we could be left with a health system that's unable to fund even the mundane stuff that we take for granted.

    What about a 6 mile run? Are you expecting stay within 2km of your house during a run?

    Circle with radius 2km has a circumference of over 12km. Run a loop with your house in the middle.

    They probably won't. But it might get people away from the beaches etc on a sunny day

    They might roadblock places like howth etc. You get in if you are within a few KM

    That makes sense.

    Think it’s the right call, especially the ‘individual’ exercise part. People still taking the piss walking around in groups.

    They said it will be made available, presumably on gov.ie, give it a chance for the announcement to be done, a few minutes isn't going to make a difference to anyone.

    That was for a child.

    The lack of action with flights to hotspots and allowing tourism to go on as normal.
    No advice on large scale sports events like Cheltenham.

    This government will have cost a lot of lives. Good that there are more measures, but the lack of initial actions allowed pandora out of the box.

    2km for outside exercise/fresh air - not for shopping
    Don't see how it can be policed tho

    It can't be policed but that's not the point. You're meant to be a responsible citizen and follow the instructions.

    There won't be a stick, but it's in citizens, not government's hands to slow this.

    If our health service cannot cope, it's on US. Not Varadkar, Not Harris, not anyone else.
