I'm a Healthcare worker and have spent that last 5 months at work - covering my own job as well as the jobs of 3 other people who were signed off as vulnerable. All I want is a few days on a beach, with sun, a book and beer! But no, the Government and the HSE have decided I can't have that. I have to spend my holidays here in Ireland in the lashings of rain, costing a fortune, can't use a hotel spa (not opened yet), can't sit in the bar for a few beers - they aren't opened yet either! I can have a beer with my dinner though but can only stay 105 minutes. Jeez thanks! Feck sake!

The coming weeks, months and years will prove just how hysterical the overreaction to this virus has been - of course it will be far too late by then and countless billions will have been flushed down the toilet. I'll be heading off for my 2-weeks away shortly. The attempted guilt-tripping from the fear-cave brigade is making it all the sweeter.

I have heard of places who are now asking this even where they have informed staff they will not be required to be physically in the office.

MickeyLeari wrote: » Certainly not made up - see above. I don’t agree with this approach, I think it is creating a new area of workplace disputes, and I would expect it is subject to challenge in the CJEU.
bladespin wrote: » This is not a legal requirement, the legistlation stating your obligation on re-entry has not been changed (yet) that is an requirement of your own employer, that, in itself is a change to your terms and conditions of employment; unless specifically stated in an agreement before the fact, if your employer has tried this underhand tactic I would recommend you seek advice.

The likes of Spain, France etc probably wouldn't be on them. I really don't see it making much of a difference at this stage. People can make up their own minds if they want to go somewhere or not. But sure look we must know something that everyone else in Europe doesn't, it's almost a month since travel began in the EU block again in decent numbers.

DebDynamite wrote: » To be fair, maybe we do know something. We’re doing the best in Europe at the moment with no further localised lockdowns. We’re practically fully opened up again internally. Maybe we should aim for a full opening up of the country, try and get kids back to school, which will in turn allow parents to get back to work. Would that not helping the economy more than the small amount of tourists we’ll get into the country compared to the usual numbers, and the amount of Irish holiday makers leaving the country to go to the sun. We should concentrate on getting the kids back to school first and see how we fare with all pubs open, and then we should open up for travel
