I perceive the risks on an open building site as absolutely minuscule, something thats clearly widely agreed upon, considering they are going to be the first to be allowed back (officially). I'm not willing to hide in my bedroom for another 2 months and I wouldn't dream of snitching on hardworking locals.

I've tried to stay optimistic up to now but the part that's really killing me is there is no mention in the plan on when we can stop socially distancing from loved ones. I wouldn't risk going into my parents house until I'm sure they would be safe but am I supposed to stay 2 metres away from my other half for the foreseeable future? I suffer long term for depression and anxiety and I'm not alone in that, many people are the same. I know it can't be helped but this lock down is going to be the end of some people in a different way to covid. It's just about impossible to keep my spirits up at this stage.

There is no experts only Simon Harris who has experience with 18 previous corona virus so at least he knows his game

On the other hand it is hard looking through it thinking that we might not see friends or family until late July, the 20km limit is definitely one of the things I can see people really not bothering with the longer it goes on. Not a huge fan of Leo nor do I particularly dislike him, but listening to him speaking on the Late Late makes me feel a bit more at ease and clearer on the whole roadmap.

I can't get 5 minutes to myself to even breathe. I live with my temperamental sister and because she refused to mind my child while I work (essential job), even those she's a public servant off work on full pay. I've had to take the last 5 weeks off. My parents normally child mind for me but obviously that's not an option right now. I have to go back Monday because otherwise I'd lose my job but my sister hadn't made it easy for me. Its literally only because I'm a lone parent that I'm still sitting here typing this, in my book there's no life for anyone for the foreseeable future.

It had the real coached-by-RTE look, pauses in all the wrong places, wooden hand gestures for the sake of it, etc. I'd rather see him just grab the sides of the lectern or stick his hands in his pockets, anything that would help him come across as more natural. No real problem with the content, except that the stilted delivery made it seem like Rachel worrying about her grandmother et al came from the same place has Enda Kenny's Two-Pint Man. I don't believe that's true, just illustrating how poor delivery can bugger up something that could be quite powerful.
