How long until certain anti mask, anti lockdown, anti restriction people pipe up and say "Contract tracing app? I'm not givin dem my details, invasion of privacy init!"

South Korea, you have to sign a form allowing them access to your phone contacts, location etc on entering the country and you upload the app .
Saw it a good few weeks ago on TV but surprised it has not arrived here yet.
Imagine the reactions at the airport ..

Edit , just overlapped posts
Do you have to have an iPhone for the app?

What happened in Dame Lane during the weekend was wrong! end of. However, being outside the chances of catching covid are reduced by a factor of ten. ie. being outside you are a lot less prone to catching the disease.

I thing AGS and DCC should very quickly have a plan for the 20th of July to allow outdoor drinking which is safe. I think you can have a balance between some sort of crowd control and out door gatherings, however needs to be controlled.

The majority of pub owners should / will be / are responsible ..

I think pubs reopening will be pushed to beyond July 20th because of this

It’s to officially launch at 11am tomorrow so I’m sure there’ll be press releases about it in the morning.

I'm hoping there'll be a big take-up but not sure if it will happen.

I don't know how after 20th July will work tbh. If there's no requirement for meals there likely won't be prebooking so nocontact details taken so contact tracing an issue.

If there's no meals ore prebooking people will hardly be still made to sit down? And if no prebooking, does the time limit go out the window too? Otherwise how are they meant to keep track of how long people were in the pub?

I think pubs may have to manage how many people they let in with 1m distance but not sure how that works if people aren't sitting down. I think it could get fairly messy.

But agree, need to have more street furniture outside pubs and tbh street furniture in general and more pedestrainisation of streets like Princes Street in Cork. Compared to rest of Europe we have barely any street furniture.

Its been happening for weeks, I'm not sure why people think this weekend is new. During the warm weather the canal was jammed every day, last 3 weeks its been camden street/wexford street & Dame Lane area.

Secondly as the gardai said today it was a public order issue. Bags of cans isn't a pubs issue to be fair. They arrived up, without bookings and when groups couldn't get in anywhere, people went off around to the spar got cans and stood in the street drinking, some got takeaway pints but the vast majority was cans. Heard the same thing from multiple people working in bars around the area. The pubs stuck to the guidelines are didn't let them in and instead of fcuking off home people hung around for a few hours before eventually the Gardaí decided it was time to go home, they didn't bother until late in the evening, they let it go most of the day.

Drinking in the street is an issue for the Gardaí. DCC won't allow outdoor seating in parts of Dame Lane its too small.
