    Kids birthday in my estate. One set of grandparents attending even though the mother seems to have a bad cough.Lockdown my arse!

    There is loads of people now mixing that weren't last week.

    And families like you mentioned.

    We never had a proper lockdown and that's why we will be with restrictions longer.

    You were advising someone to anonymously report his company , but it appears you don't know what they should be reporting them for.

    The company cannot use pandemic payment to subsidise their wage bill.

    Er, the whole point of the subsidy scheme is that if a company can show significant loss of turnover the state will subsidise their employees' wages.

    Think you might be refering to wage subsidy scheme which is different to pandemic payment. I don't think it will have to be paid back. Citizens Advice are really good.

    You do know what the purpose of the TWSS is I take it?

    Perhaps you could take the time to explain it to the poster rather than sniping.

    You are not getting the Covid 19 payment. Your employer is getting TWSS which they then top-up for you.
    Your employer is obliged to give a breakdown of TWSS and what they are paying you on your payslip.
    You will have to settle with Revenue for TWSS protion of your wage .
    Be careful accepting advice off someone who has demonstrated ignorance of the scheme you are on .

    Sniping? You are giving misleading advice. Do you think you should not be called on it?

    If you're working, then surely you won't have to pay anything back. That just sounds wrong.

    Seems like with the numbers the last few days we are well on track for the easing of restrictions. Starting to look like this virus will fizzle out over the next few weeks.

    Only if we continue to take action to get to that point.

    I corrected myself in the time you were shaping up to sneer. Just took a while for my correction to post as the site is slow. Simple mistake. I thought he was refering to the pandemic payment. Alright.

    TWSS is an untaxed payment but the tax liability has to be dealt with by the recipient at a future date.

    I have to commend the government for not doing what other countries (IE Germany) have done and opened up ASAP. This extra two weeks could save many many lives.

    You seem to equate factual information correcting you as a sneer, that's your problem not mine.

    Hopefully, for some reason all the media and Simon Harris are on about the icu beds being below 100 again today. This is curious esp. from the minister, sa the icu beds are actually 120. The 98 is just the confirmed covid 19, there are an additional 22 suspected covid 19 patients in icu.

    Like wtf confirmed or suspected they are still occupying the bed.

    It's poor form from the media, but from the minister, pretty f**king outrageous, when people are beginning to slide on adherence to the lockdown.

    Wrong on so many levels the virus will be with us for a very long time, easing of restrictions in other countries have seen a spike I expect a spike here once restrictions are eased but I sincerely hope not.

    Staying locked down for another two weeks, two months, two years won't stop the deaths where they are occurring ie Nursing homes.

    From Simon ? He who thought the Covid 19 was next one after the pervious 18 Covid's.

    The jury is still out on the spike seen in other countries. Most countries are only a week or two into the relaxation of restrictions.

    Cases don't just appear in nursing homes. They come from the outside. If the virus is eliminated outside nursing homes, it can't get in. It's quite a simple concept.

    Where do you think the virus is going? It won't be eliminated any more than the influenza virus has been eliminated. A vaccine/treatment is all we can hope for and an effective one is months if not years away.
