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?

In theory yes. Although moreso you're being asked not to.

If you're caught, you'll be arrested/fined. You can see your son when this is over. Don't be so selfish. A nurse died today.

ComReg is opening up more spectrum and also liberalising spectrum i.e. allowing 4G and 5G to use formerly 3G bandwidth to ensure we're all getting good speeds and capacity.

Actually a very pragmatic move and will make life a lot easier for many of us:

If they do it will be a farce.

Why? They will be subject to 14 day isolation plus the new restrictions.

A few months back when the big issue of the day was using plastic straws in the pub seems to far far away now.

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 could say the same about my local park.
It is normally pretty much empty
I took one look last weekend and turned around, just ended up walking the dog a weird route with no people then a seriously early walk the next day

You are not supposed to. Stay at home.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 27-03-2020 10:41PM

On the list of essential workers...

I'm willing to bet that all american pharma/medical device companies here will stay open even if they've NOTHING to do with helping the situation. Money money money.

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

Somebody should call the government, there's a super brain on boards going to waste.

Can all the people losing jobs and loved ones please go outside at 7 am and applaud all those who will have to sacrifice points and medals on Strava and MapmyRun, when Ireland asked, they gave it all.

kilkenny31 · 27-03-2020 10:41PM

All these measures are pointless unless they are enforced. The people that will abide by them have probably always been staying at home unless absolutely required. The people that haven't been abiding all along won't be. They need the army and guards on the street. Just a few checkpoints that move around each county so the images will be on social media and on the news.

growleaves · 27-03-2020 10:41PM

It is NOT.

It is restricted to essential workers.

Okay I must've misheard that one.

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?

7k army, 1k reserves of which alot are deployed for testing, 15k guards.

Take the chases around finglas for example yesterday, that took alot of cars and vans for the guts of over an hour.

A full Chinese LOCKDOWN is unenforceable in Ireland.

I's say for shopping and essential it's ok the 2km rule is for going for your walk more than likely

I know that but I'm sure the daily newspaper isn't deemed essential yet it's a big part of many older people's lives at the same time.

I have posted this 3 times already.

2KM radius in only for exercise. You can go outside that for essential needs like food, medicines, doctor etc.

Sorry they have restated on rte news. People can only leave their houses under certain circumstances, food shopping, visiting pharmacy, medical appointments or exceptional family affairs and exercise within a 2km radius of your house.
It seems pretty clear.
Not being funny or trolling but why do some people have such an issue with following orders.
Stay at home, not jogging for 2 weeks won't kill you.

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

Still waiting myself.

Curious_Case · 27-03-2020 10:41PM

Here's a SECONDARY reason for adhering to the new restrictions if some don't consider the PRIMARY one important enough -

Foreign investors - "Why not invest in Ireland? they handled themselves very well during the Covid-19 crisis"

It's down probably because of traffic. They probably don't have proper load balancing.

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?

Seriously?

fritzelly · 27-03-2020 10:42PM

Think 2km is being very generous really - should be grateful it's not like other countries where you are not allowed out except for shopping

Not jogging for 2 weeks is fine but longer could.

Speak Now · 27-03-2020 10:43PM

So I leave my house, turn left and run 2km. Then I turn and run back to my house and do 2km in other direction. That's 5 miles Paddy when I get back home, hardly beyond the wit of man!

There were no slots available for 6 weeks locally when I checked yesterday.And that was across a couple of shops.
But look, it may not be an issue. As I said I turned it off before he reached that point. Seems a bit counter-intuitive though.

Lesnar Defender · 27-03-2020 10:43PM

The country needs to go back to work with restrictions lifted on april 14 regardless. at that stage the damage caused by fighting the virus, will be greater than the virus itself.
