Is this true?

I remember reading here that someone lived close to a beach and the guards stopped them driving to it and told them to go back and they had to walk.

The department of finance and revenue better announce massive help for small business in the morning

Not paperwork and loans that they don't want

Handy summary here.

Surely they could have implemented the first phase from Tuesday rather than the 18th? As it is the first phase will see a very gentle easing of restrictions so why wait two weeks?

My daughter just cut my hair so it's not bad idea to stay at home for next few weeks...

Anyone else think that the use of masks may be advised soon? Not compulsory, but maybe just advised.
I haven’t seen EVERY brief on tv so far, but I remember a while back it got a ‘there’s no need’ feedback.
Did Holohan say last night that it’s something they’re considering/awaiting further info?

Above link Leo clarifies on the original 2km ruling just for exercise.

Driving is not a physical exercise.

TAOISEACH LEO VARADKAR has clarified that the 2km limit on movement outside the home is for physical exercise and people can travel beyond this for food and medicine.

Only those over 70 can go for a drive with 5km of their residence.

Sure if we were allowed to drive to a location to exercise then why did they close off car parks for public places like national parks etc ?! Lakes with closed car parks, mountain walks etc being checked by gardai constantly.

Gardaí stopping plenty of cars down the local park but weren’t turning anyone away as far as I can see. Car park was still open which surely would have been closed if people weren’t allowed drive.

Honestly this is basic stuff. Could always clearly drive to your place of exercise. They hardly expect swimmers to come out of the water absolutely freezing and then trudge up to 2km home?

Economy is going to absolutely tank.

People aren't meant to be swimming...the 40 foot etc are closed off

Jesus you’re completely misunderstanding the point. He’s talking about people just driving around for the sake of it within 2km of their home. That’s obviously not exercise. He doesn’t saying anything about people driving to their place of exercise within the 2km.

Jesus I’m finding this frustrating. This is a very basic concept which a number of posters seem to be struggling to get their head around.

I've just read the detailed plan

The very first item says face coverings may be advised from May 18 based on medical advice

I reckon that will be mandatory by then

Precisely. Which is why I, as a carer for an elderly parent took the decision to cocoon with him to decrease the risk of passing the infection onto him. I honestly think that some people just don't grasp how infections spread.

shinzon · 01-05-2020 07:39PM

Well I just hope people realise there has to be a strong adherence to the restrictions and that no one acts like ****ing idiots in the next 2 weeks otherwise May 18th is just a pipe dream

He should have just kept it to 5kms for exercise throwing driving into the mix is a mistake as has been seen by people on here lets just say stretching and twisting what Leo said about it.

Do you know what we should do? Have special shops, cafés, schools, libraries, services, train carriages and busses, petrol stations, supermarkets, clothes shops, toilets, etc reserved only for those who are cocooning and shouldn't really mix with the rest of us. It'd be for their own good, they wouldn't infect us, we wouldn't infect them. I think it's a brilliant idea nobody has ever had before........................ I think I had a dream about it................

Psst! Folks. I'll give you a clue. I was being sarcastic. See if that bit reminds you of anything.

I looked at the links but...when do the dentists re-open for non emergency work?

The dental association had a plan on their website what work they can do depending on phases. I am sure this will be updated very soon to tie in with these new 5 phases. Ring your dentist for advice.

They closed the 40 foot because it’s such a popular spot. Nothing wrong with swimming if it isn’t busy and social distancing can be adhered to. I go down the park every day and have seen and been stopped by the Gardaí several times. You see the same few people in their swimming all the time and if someone was told to get out then word would have gotten around.

And not a single fcuk could some of us give.
I’ve a head a hair on me like the wolverine and I couldn’t care less if I never got it cut.
You won’t catch me queuing up for an avacodo bagel and pumpkin latte like the gombeens with the fortnight haircuts.
A good dose of common sense them fcukers need

Ah off you go so, to be honest it doesn't effect my anyway

All this week I've been driving 400-450kms a day for "essential work" so it doesn't bother me.

But God forbid we try for each other's sake to protect each other during this.

Funny how he mention the first restriction being relaxed to 5km for exercise

Then in a different statement says over 70 or those cocooning can go for a walk or drive withing 5km

If they were both the same surely he didn't need to specify it separately. But anyway, I'm out of here. Too many posts going into server now I'd imagine

What did you expect? Some miraculous immediate return to the old normality? It was never going to be anything other than this type of slow phased plan.

Lollipop95 · 01-05-2020 07:50PM

Does the work from 18th May only apply to essential workers or is for all office workers?
