    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.

    Tomorrow’s flights still scheduled on flight radar , no point in this if the airport isn’t included for passengers

    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.

    Where's the list of essential work places?
    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.

    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.

    That was for a child.

    A dog and vet is a different story

    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.

    So much being done so right by this leaving government.

    People don’t seem to grasp how important these briefings are and how well organized our authorities have looked. They have excelled at communication.

    I know this is going to get really bad but am convinced that however bad it gets it could of been a lot worse. Few country’s gets everything right, even less have been prepared or acted as quickly as I feel our government/authorities have handled this. This includes making changes as things change.

    Bit slow at the 'containment' but maybe that was deliberate? Letting people return and infect others. But otherwise, putting on a solid face. Anyone criticising Harris is just a vacuous fool at this point.

    I agree entirely not his biggest fan.
    But he has handled this very well.
    The stress must be immense plus he has Crohns.

    My folks are watching this from north and think they are all brilliant compared to info they are getting from politicians up there.

    The government needs to quarantine Cork for the good of the nation.

    I'd also like to see some action taken on this whole virus situation.

    No people at the beaches.
    And yet, no prob having people in non essential offices, building sites, canteens, etc.
    It's all just for show.
