    Because that isn't what was said, simple, read the press release, properly this time. What if you don't have a shop within 2km of where you live?

    If they say stay at home except to do essential shopping or pharmacy visits and you can only go for a walk near where you live, it would be pure eejitry for people to think they can go on a 10 or 20 mile spin in the car to do the shopping. At that rate you could drive from Limerick to Galway to do your shopping and claim when stopped by Gardai : "Nobody told me not to".

    Most people don't have printers. How does it work in that case?

    They tend to live in large close-knit multigenerational family groups and in clusters (halting sites) so the chances of community spread are probably greater.

    I think you miss my point. My run will now be on busy paths where distancing is impossible, whereas up until today it has been me in isolation. So in my specific case I am now more at risk of spreading the virus. I’m not going to not run (as I am allowed to do, despite your ‘stay at home’ protestations)

    Jaysus, just use your common sense. If your driving to a mountain or something or have a specific path or a farm with no one around your okay.

    Well done.

    Am a big fan of the free BorrowBox from our Libraries. Just one thing from me.

    That's pretty much the system in France.
    If you don't have a printer a hand written note will do.

    Eh what? For what it’s worth I haven’t left my house in over a week and my past posts with attest to that. I’m wondering who will actually be monitoring this, for those who do not respect the measures. Calm your tits ffs

    :D love that phrase

    That is the answer though. There'll be very little policing done regarding this unless it's something blatantly obviously. Groups of teens, maybe a few checkpoints, but in reality, it's down to personal responsibility. Shop local when you need to, short walks for fresh air, keep it to a minimum.

    I've my nana on to me to go down and hang a clock for her tomorrow... Ah yeah, but it'll be grand, I'll wait in the sitting room while you do it...

    Did you not hear the news ffs! No social visits, no unnecessary visits, over 70s to "cocoon"!

    I love her to death but some people just don't get it, or understand how contagious this is :(

    Are they going to release prisoners now to prevent spread? How is that going to work? House arrest bands?

    It's really fucking simple.

    that wasn’t updated at 11pm tonight when i looked & sent them a complainey email. Its a bit much being so badly out of step and 3 days behind their own press office. As for their stats Jesus Christ himself must have been out doing overtime as people are being lazarused from their ‘died’ lists and death stats quicker than you cay 4 99’s and 6 singles of chips please.

    Given that the govt release press releases at the drop of a coin its a pity they didn’t have their act together in this one. But heyho - we’ll pick it up off social media or somewhere as a urban legend later. No crisis here. Are these emergency LAWS or govt requests. Still not clear. And what powers will the police have in this? No notion on that either. And rhat website isn’t saying.

    The big important question for me is whether they're going to take the roads in.

    so running through a deserted area alone is going to cause the virus to spread all over the country is it?

    Surely they must have some tracking on it - you need to have ID on you at all times in France?

    I'd be more than happy for incremental fines for people breaking the new restrictions with no upper limit!

    Which is why the next measure brought in will be fines for people like this knob jockey who don`t follow the rules. This should really have been announced tonight.

    Yes it's a shame that they hadn't got all the lists and information ready to go this evening but the advice was to close up immediately. It's only a minor complaint and is absolutely not worth an email that someone with more important stuff to be doing such as preparing lists of essential businesses hopefully won't read and won't reply to.

    Yes you could, go for it. A wee forty mile run tomorrow morning sounds like a great idea.

    Monitor your own behaviour, that is what government are asking, you already seem to be doing so.

    What's the fines/deterrent to people using public transport and saying they are going to work etc. Like if you have no ID etc. Just wondering how they will enforce it.
