A summary from RTE, which might answer some questions.

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.

I live 300m from the local Coilte woods, been a lot busier than usual the last few weeks, u'd often go in there on the nicest of summer afternoons and meet nobody. Hopefully have it back to myself for the next few weeks. :pac:

It's for exercise and to get out of the house.

I'm still not clear on how mandatory these new restrictions now are.

Eg : there's over 150km between my house and my son. If I decide to travel between the 2 tomorrow, is someone actually going to stop me?

Try it. And let us know how you get on.

Yes because it's an unnecessary social family gathering.

How do you prove you are essential worker to use public transport?

Will the driver seek proof?

growleaves · 27-03-2020 10:38PM

If people just “get on with it” , millions of people will die. You don’t write off millions of people because it’s an inconvenience. We can afford to take these measures.

Its purely speculative to say that millions of people would die. You don't know that. How many people on this thread know that every single influenza and URTI infection sees "exponential" increases before they taper off. People talking about how the Spanish Flu saw particularly bad mutations in its second go-round...if you aunty had balls she'd be your uncle.

2km in this rural area is very restrictive. I know we can do the weekly shopping but simple things for older people, like a daily newspaper, requires 5km or more to the local shop.

I imagine some will be dubious at first about how to proceed .
But if people sit down and figure things out there's usually a workable plan possible . e.g. people can arrange to share the shopping trips -one goes on Monday gets and distributes the daily papers etc ,another does the same on the other days . Some stores will probably set up a rudimentary delivery service .
Local gardai or social work groups etc. can chip in.
Ways can be found with a little ingenuity and some neighbourly co-operation

Instead of worrying about who is going to stop you, how about just obeying the instructions from our elected government and the chief medical officer and not making that trip. You've been asked not to do that to save lives, please just do as you were asked!

In theory, you can run in a circle of c. 12.5 km, so in total you can (in theory) run 16.5km without breaking any rules.

You're welcome.

It's a genuine question. If these are mandatory, enforced restrictions, they need to be VERY clear about that and the exceptions.

Not couching it in softly softly vague recommendations

On the 2k radius, does that mean I can go for a walk for 2k from my home and then 2k back to my home? Or 1K out and 1K back?

Jesus they are not gonna take out a measuring tape and measure the distance!

It's just a rough guidance

It unnecessarily increases the length of a link in a chain of transmission. just run around in 1km circles for a couple of weeks, not a big deal.

Legally as has just been said on RTE there is nothing so far that can be done. Morally he shouldn't do it.

namloc1980 · 27-03-2020 10:39PM

When will we see the list of who are essential staff who should still go to work?

hmmm · 27-03-2020 10:39PM

I don't think these will make much difference as most people in the country have been very well behaved, but the government is in a difficult place and has to be seen to do everything they could - just to avoid the people in the future saying "you could have done xyz".

One restriction I don't understand is the individual thing. Can I not go for a walk with herself, who lives in the same house as me? Just interested as to the thinking behind this?

It is NOT.

All public transport and passenger travel will be restricted to essential workers and people providing essential services.

Anybody know what's Essential Work of if there a list published ?

Yeah, it's too simplistic I think.
E.g. if you're manufacturing supplies that the HSE directly asked you for. Can they wait for them for a week+ after a factory restart after April 12th?

E.g. the garment manufacturers changed to making protective clothing, the distilleries and producers asked by the HSE to make sanitisers.

All the companies that support them.

Warehousing & transport companies that might be bringing supplies?
Farmers get a named exclusion, but not the rest of the production chain.

Non-essential health procedures and services.

I know my parents can't get a grasp of the vague 'cocooning' buzzword.
