Can we have some fcuking control on the airports from high risk countries please?

Otherwise all of the restrictions were for nothing

UK, the Americas and Sweden shouldn't be allowed into Ireland till they get their omnishambles together

A friend of mine told me there is a bus load of Americans wandering around Adare this weekend. Can that be true?

I fail to see the problem if Adare businesses are adhering strictly to covid 19 protocols including disinfection and these people aren't visiting private peoples homes
Same for other parts of the country

The bigger problem is the likes of what was going on in Dublin and elsewhere last night
This is what the natives are at...

People keep saying this. But I’ve yet to see a photo of these plane loads or bus loads of Americans, or the hordes of UK registered cars rolling off the ferry, which is quite remarkable in this social media world.

Check Dublin arrivals for tomorrow morning. There's Boston, New York and Chicago due in tomorrow morning.

3 weeks after the first post on this thread: 15 of today's 23 cases are from from travel

I'm struggling to think of an EU country with weaker airport and travel restrictions than Ireland

Maybe we need to gather at airports to block the tourists from coming into the country, it would require a mass of people though, perhaps the government then might bring in the travel ban if they see such a reaction. Of course to do that, social distancing will go out the window.

Will you be supplying the Pitchforks or should people bring their own?

How about we quarantine all the vunerable people and let the rest of us get the country going again. A lot easier to do

Unbelievable that we are still allowing those from the US in. Whatever about Europe.

And how exactly are you going to make Arlene Foster close all Northern Ireland air and sea ports off from her fellow country folk?

Just close the border between us and them so she doesn’t have to.

The border is the reason Brexit didn't happen yet. Now its the republic's turn to feel the pain

Only 6 travel related cases over the last week. The alarm about travel is more about people going abroad and what they might bring back.

The northern Ireland / UK travel safe travel list may work in our favor slowing imported case's from high risk ie US
But as long as we let those flights come in we are ironically putting the UK and northern Ireland at risk at the moment.

15 of today's 23 cases alone are from from travel

15 related to travel.
From what Dr Glynn was saying, it was a case of 1 or 2 coming back from travel and then meeting up with a group of friends.

"related to" or "from", the point is the same really; If our airports weren't so much of a joke we wouldn't have 15 of today's cases

You don't know that though, you don't know where they came back from.
It's unlikely that a cluster has appeared already due to the flights starting on 1st July.

It could easily be some Irish person having recently repatriated having been stranded abroad until very recently, then attending a house party/welcome back party (that's what it sounded like to me from reading between the lines).

If I am correct it's not the airport that is a joke but the fact that the passenger (s) did not observe the self Isolation.

I've said it before but the obvious solution would be testing at the airport.
The TMB are already offering private PCR tests for €160 per individual, I can't see why a company wouldn't be allowed set up at the airport and test incoming individuals. Give them a choice to get a test or else make them sign to declare they will quarantine with some legal enforcement of that contract.

The quarantine when coming back is a joke, anyone can come here by sea or air or down from NI, the government needs to get tougher

Correct, I can't see anywhere which says that the 15 new cases came from someone who travelled here through Dublin airport, Ferryport, across the border from the North.
Was it a returning fruit picker, was it a politician, an Irish nurse coming home to visit family after working the past 6 months in an NHS hospital..? You just don't know!

To suggest closing down the transport infrastructure and blocking all entry points with burning tyres and pitchforks or something just means those who suggest it need to stop cocooning and get some outside air for a change.

There be even more unemployed if we dont get a hold of this virus.
Blocking airports could keep other businesses open.

It would keep fuc.. all open. Get some fresh air, it helps.

wellwhynot

I read on ask about money that the cases related to travel from Iraq, Ukraine, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sweden. I don’t believe there are direct flights to there so most likely came in from the U.K.

We have to get the airplanes back in the skies or they will go under and we will be stuck here. This was only about flattening the curve. The curve is flattened. We need to move on now.
