The GAA clubs in West Cork have been allowed to resume play. Great news.

Any word on the tipperary ones, I'd say the GAA are being extra cautious.

Hard to believe how the government is sitting on its hands, despite the clear and obvious risk posed by US tourists. Absolute madness, have they learned nothing since March? What happened to all that decisiveness. It makes a mockery of all those efforts over the last few months.

Went to courtmacsherry earlier, had a lovely lunch in the lifeboat inn. Just walked in. Manager sat us down gave us two menus that were sanitised before we received them, told us we’d have to vacate the table at 2pm which was fine only went in for a toasted special.
Still felt pretty odd not being able to go to the bar and so on. Courtmacsherry was busy with the majority being irish and the odd NI reg car around alright. Saw one small group of Spanish women, but you don’t know do they live here or not

Have to wait a few days to see if its a trend that keeps up. There's no visible impact of phase 3 anyway, clusters relating to travel and house parties seem to have been the impact for the week but they've been gotten on top of quite quickly it would appear

Great to see no deaths reported.

Our politicians are infuriating. It really doesn't feel they like they have joe public's interest at heart.

If they were serious about this they would test at the airport, then enforce real quarantine for 2 - 4 days, then test again. New Zealand can do it, Taiwan can do it, Japan can do it.. We can do IT.

If we can convince the north to adopt the same policy, as well as making masks mandatory indoors, we could be in a similar, safe situation, like Taiwan.

Ireland is in a great place right now but globally the situation is dire. Our leaders need to step up to the plate now and take some definitive action before it's too late.

Don you know what's happening now with travelling? It will be like the early days of March where they told us community transmission is low when everyone on street and their dogs knew the virus was here and circulating and the population was divided. Some people were already taking action and others passed the virus off as a little cold or flu and continued going out in crowds and drinking.

The government is probably going to wait for evidence of transmission from tourists before they do anything to protect the population from tourists from hot-spots.

Sky had this detail form Martin's interview on BBC earlier. Not sure what type of measures he means "He said his administration will discuss international travel further this week, including whether to strengthen resources at airports.," https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-ireland-quarantine-remains-in-force-for-british-holidaymakers-12027137

It is very disappointing that restrictions on entering from USA and Britain seem to be being ignored. It's very frustrating alright. Friends have cancelled holidays until next year (myself also).
Cheltenham racegoers returning should have been tested and made to self isolate.
The nursing home situation was mishandled badly.
Masks were not made mandatory for months.
I'm not too confident that much is going to improve, but I live in hope.

Good news. In the mood for a pint now.

PopTarts · 12-07-2020 05:35PM

Clare were doing good with no cases for a good number of weeks. Is today the first case in Clare (haven’t seen county numbers since Wednesday)

Deeper Blue · 12-07-2020 05:40PM

There's only a few people in the country that don't want to do anything about the Americans and they're sitting in the Dáil. Infuriating.

wadacrack · 12-07-2020 05:41PM

Not bad today, can hopefully keep it at this level and improve the situation with travel related cases

Storm 10 · 12-07-2020 05:48PM

The hop on hop off bus is doing the rounds in Galway with tourists on board, I can't understand how tourists from the UK are banned yet there are loads of flights landing daily at our airports from the the UK

mountgomery burns · 12-07-2020 05:48PM

How difficult would it be to have a blanket ban on American tourists? All returning Irish citizens would need to contact DFA for pre clearance to immigration, and mandate that all passengers need to present their boarding pass at immigration so they know they've come in on a flight from the US.

Is this too simplistic, am I missing something obvious?

Which is why I believe there was a slight overeaction to the cases going above 20 for a couple of days the week just gone. I believe we need to watch the numbers but not panic over two days of an increase which isnt enough to say the numbers are going in a certain direction.

Excellent news that no deaths today.

Always_Running · 12-07-2020 05:51PM

By my count 36 more weekly cases than last week but we had roughly 11,000 extra tests carried out this week. 10 deaths this week one less than last week.

Lots of people have essential travel requirements, famines etc split between UK and Ireland. I hold both passports myself and have a home in both countries (thought Ireland is my primary). It’s been obvious when I’ve been travelling between the two that very few of my fellow travelers have been tourists

whatdoicare · 12-07-2020 05:57PM

Someone put a post up on a Rubberbandits facebook post that he had to cancel a tour with American tourists somewhere in Ireland because they hadnt done the 14 days quarantine and apparently had no intention of doing it. :mad:

Even anyone travelling for work or family visits, is 14 days quarantine not happening?

Ah come on now Woody, you can't be using the famine as an excuse, it happened over 170 years ago.

In fairness to Zara King asking Donnelly good questions here. Donnelly's reply is rubbish ''should do X'' when there's clear evidence of them not doing it..

Another textbook example of why he is a total spoofer and a right a piece of work . If that was a FF minister 10 years ago spouting crap like that in the midst of a public health and economic crisis he would have been on Vincent Browne the next night making a career for himself spouting his 'outrage'
