    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.

    Are you talking about Simon Harris? I'm not scrolling back on pages. He's not in my constituency so I was never able to vote for him but I always liked him. I still do.

    I remember that from about 2 years ago or so. Protesters turning up outside his home and I think his wife wasn't long after having a baby at the time. Despicable turning up outside his home.

    We're gonna have a new mutation of the "I want a ****ing lockdown now" poster. This mutation will now focus their efforts on demanding that the lockdown be extended beyond Easter.

    So will all those jobs gone tonight be getting €350 per week? 150k construction jobs gone for starters.

    I know the country has to get back to work and get back up running, but that's not going to happen, the virus will still be here. We need draconian measures to deal with this.

    We do need draconian measures, and we will have those until April 12th!

    You learn something new every day, today I learned that lots in this thread missed the ‘radius’ class in school.

    The RTE website is confusing with this sentence:

    "- To travel to and from work for the purposes of work only where the work is an essential health, social care or other essential service or cannot be done from home".

    Implies that any service even non-essential, if it cannot be done from home, then you can travel.

    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?

    More people are you g to the shops than going running

    With suncream melting off the face, you'd be more inclined to wipe and touch your face.

    This annoys me. If it's going to be only two weeks then great, but if there's no hope it will be then don't say two weeks and just tell us the truth. People need to be educated with more than just "flatten the curve" at this stage.

    Correct. If we see x% in y days, then we start opening this. But you're right. They're terrified. This path is to total devastation. Hundreds of millions of lives destroyed to save a few.

    I’m happy about the exercise within 2km of ur home. The local walk near me has always been quiet but was fierce busy the last 2 weeks with people you would have never seen there before and they were the same people obstructing the pathway and making it difficult to keep the 2 meter distance. One pr*ck tonight was stood stopped in the middle looking at the bushes.

    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

    Bad news in small doses is easier to take that bad news in a large chunk.

    Where the Hell were you when your country needed you? Pass on your wisdom to the authorities immediately and show them where they're going wrong.

    You could always let your car run out of fuel about 5 miles from home or from a filling station,and run/walk there and back with a fuel can in your hand and surely you would not get jail:confused:

    It's an absurd concern about exercisers. Jealousy, "left wingers", etc. They know it's not a risk, they just feel belittled by people exercising so lash out.
