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.

This is my point. If it's just another round of recommendations it's meaningless. Those who have been ignoring already will continue to do so unless there's actual real restrictions.

Ah seriously, shut down the pharmaceutical companies?

That would have a far greater health impact than the virus!

I know him. He's a sound chap. Shame there are Muppets out there that criticise him especially those protestors that were outside his house.

End of the day, someone is going to have to pay for this cluaterfvck in some manner. Let's all sit at home in the dark and starve is it?

Manufacturing and multinationals have kept the lights on here after financial services and construction companies and 'superstar' investors ran us into the ground, of course these firms should stay open.

Can people not leave their f*cking running for two weeks and show more concern to the people who are dying of this sh*t?

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!

I think these new restrictions are being brought in for paddy's demographic, who are obviously unable to follow simple recommendations on their own without the government stepping in.

Fines ... That is about the only thing that works with people. Nasty heavy fines

Next time Leo should do two separate announcements. One normal one and then one where he doesn't use any words with more than four letters.

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

You could look for a new route, the circumference of a 2km radius is 12.5km.
I have a nice 8k route in that. Maybe you could check a map and see if there is a route for yourself.

Maybe if we stop giving him the attention he will stop missbehaving ..... Works with my kids...

Is paddy not right? Walking 2km and walking 5km? No difference really as long as you are alone

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.

Are you serious!!! April 14th we wont even have hit top of curve

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"

Why pull out of Ireland, they shut our factories for weeks.

I’m curious to what the approach will be as we near that date.

The virus will still be rampant but a hard decision may be required of Leo

Does it apply to building sites ?

Purple Mountain · 27-03-2020 10:46PM

There was no mention of the 1000s of pensioners who have to go out weekly for their pensions at the post office.
I guess that's seen as essential?

Multipass · 27-03-2020 10:46PM

If I have to walk the dog within 2km of my house I’ll soon be dead by SUV

People still need medicine and medical devices for other conditions besides Covid19.

In the last week I've never seen so many people out running, worst is them going by huffing and puffing all their fluids out at you.
