    During one of Leo's earlier speeches he said anyone who needs to be off work for isolation will be able to apply for a payment of some sort. I don't know what his exact words were. I thought there was a social welfare payment that's not the COVID PUP but a different payment of some sort.

    Can anyone clarify this please for me? Is there a social welfare payment if you need to isolate?

    Yep COVID illness benefit. The first COVID related social welfare payment that was introduced iirc.

    Why is it schools vs pubs? Why not schools vs pennys? Or schools vs dunnes? Why is it that this one area of society which hasn't been open and can't be linked to the increase in cases is the one seen as the barrier to schools reopening? Seems like a lot of parents had to spend a whole summer entertaining their **** trophys and are just desperate to get rid of them......

    It's not A vs B.

    The poster you quoted was saying that more people were talking about pubs reopening than schools reopening. Probably because schools reopening impacts a bigger proportion of the population.

    They didn't mention reopening pubs as being a barrier to reopening schools.

    We just have to hope they are seeing stuff behind close doors in the data we aren’t.

    Outdoor gathering increase to 500 seemed almost a certainty. That's a bit of a suprise.

    This virus must be very different in Northern Ireland where they can have pubs open, wedding numbers depend on function room size and outdoor gatherings can be 400

    Like what? I was listening to Pat Spillane on the radio earlier talking about attendance at GAA matches. A match played in Fitzgerald stadium that holds 40000 people allowed have 200 at it. A joke.

    It's madness

    My club had a match in Páirc Uí Rinn

    It has a capacity of 16,500

    Yet you could only have 200 people at the match

    No good reason not to have increased numbers esp outdoor

    Sorry, but how can you compare loads of people pressing into a pub, locked and swinging out of each other to a school or a retail space? talking out your hole.
    They would be mad to open the pubs with the infections on the rise, and as for kids, hate to brake it you, but most parents want their kids to have an education and properly socialize with other children, not just to get rid of them.

    But your happy for pubs to open and poss risk another large outbreak that will cripple the country economically and kill more old people?

    We have a match in the city this week and we have 30 supporters going. 30. We would bring at least 200 usually

    I don't get how pubs will spread the virus if they operate within in the 90 minute rule and table service.

    I'm extremely surprised gyms are back open. There 1000 times worse than pubs.

    Crowds are going to be kept at 200 and yet The Coronas were allowed to sell ice cream on The Parade in Kilkenny yesterday promoting their new album.

    There was definitely over 200 queueing up to meet them. They were also in Waterford City and Dunmore East.

    F*ck that.

    Is this phase four? And what seems to be different?

    The poor schools, they get a brief from the department and then they must come up with their own plan, sounds crazy because they're teachers and not experts on diseases and viruses, also 30 plus kids in a smallish space. I agree schools should be opened but it seems so rushed

    But it has completely been painted ad A vs B, the only reason they're talking about not opening the pubs is that we can't have any barriers to opening schools, but yet they don't have the balls to make masks a legal requirement, or shut down non essential businesses for 3 weeks, or shut down ports and airports....... But no, we can't risk schools by opening pubs that aren't open because of an increase of clusters which aren't in pubs because....... They're not open.

    It's ****ing moronic and the amount of parents who expect us to accept it is ridiculous, I don't give a **** about their kids......

    No pubs, no GAA for a majority in clubs

    This government is going to be very popular in rural Ireland
