    This is Ireland. Do people really think that we are going to have an army enforced lockdown? Seriously do we have the numbers for that?

    We will be depending on people thinking of the greater good and complying.

    Most will and hopefully that will be enough.

    I'd imagine anyone taking the piss like having parties etc will attract the attention of the gardai.

    No I use my own brain and analyse the validity of the restrictions myself. What difference does it make if I run 2 km out of my zone

    It's to keep people in the general vicinity of their home (i.e not galavanting off to a crowded beach or park). Just use your own cop on. I live in the countryside, I might stray a little more than 2km from my house along the empty boreens, it's not going to cause a problem for others.

    I have not left the environs of my home for over two weeks now, and I will be getting the groceries delivered in a few days time.
    So I have stayed within the 2km limit well before it was implemented.

    essential services

    Anyone figure out what this actually means always clear as mud with this lot couldn't they just have spent a few minutes of that speech telling us exactly what these services are rather than the vagueness of it all

    Some questions:
    - If you work in a non-essential non-retail service are you still allowed travel to your office/work?
    - The official announcement states that there are additional shop closures. Which shops have been added to the list?

    Thanks.

    - No.
    - Not published yet. gov.ie is down atm.

    You don't want to be that person who appears online "this is Paddy. Paddy goes jogging during global pandemics when his country urges him not to. Paddy is a pr1ck. Don't be like Paddy."

    It's been fine to jog 5 miles away for the last few weeks and it's fine to do it in every other country that is allowing exercise. It's a stupid nonsensical restriction

    I keep thinking that I may have seen my parents IRL for the last time :(

    Same. Mine are locked down in Spain. I keep my mind distracted during the day but at night in bed I keep thinking they might never come home, might never get to hold the little girl I am due to give birth to shortly. Keep thinking about all that was said during our last fight. Because, basically people are inherently selfish and won't abide by simple instructions that most 5 year olds would comprehend. :(

    That's really annoying though and ridiculous. How are they possibly gonna enforce it: stop people in the middle of a jog and ask them how far away they live?
    I'm all for restrictions but I wont be changing my jogging routines

    It's okay to admit you're wrong you know.

    No it isn't. For one it might stop every Tom dick and Harry galavanting to the seaside, pier or forest park at the glimpse of some sunshine.

    Before this we used to go to our local forest park every weekend. The past two weekends it has been more jammed than I have ever seen it, we turned around and headed back to our local canal instead.

    That said, the forest park is more than 2k away.
