If I was coming from Kildare I'd simply say I wasn't living there despite my ID showing that address. We've all signed forms to say we don't have COVID and we will be wearing masks from a 2m distance.

The truth of the matter is that there is so much we do not know about the virus - honing in on its fatality rate alone is a tragic misstep that too many people are making.

It is highly unfair of you to condemn people for what you consider "baseless hysteria" when people in those counties are more than justified in their worry. Many of those candidates could be immunocompromised themselves or live with immunocompromised persons or healthcare workers. Yes, these exams are essential, of course they are but they are not considered essential as per the regulations. Therefore, many other institutions have put exams online/made alternative arrangements. This is a public health crisis, it is much bigger than each of us as individuals. You may downplay the significance of the virus but for some people it is a massive risk.

Also worried about not being able to identify the relevant topics in a question, or being left short because there’s multiple topics in a question!

Superior Courts confirmed that he should be compensated, notwithstanding the argument that he was SB? Clock didn't start to run against him until he knew there was a cause of action? IE when he got back the report in 2012 not when the hernia etc kicked off. So it's very fact specific

It seems you are reading what you would like to read and argue about rather than what is in front of you.
dobby896 wrote: » I'm not reading what I would like to read at all nor am I arguing with you, I think it is just unfair to accuse people of fear mongering when this is, in reality, a huge fear for some people. I also never said you referred to people from those 3 counties specifically, we have no idea where anyone who is posting is from, they could very well be from those 3 counties and they would, as I said, be justified in their concern.

I think we should leave this thread for what it is intended for and let people get advice or answers for the exam, and in the event there is an official announcement then fair enough let it be discussed here. The spreading of fears, while valid personal fears reminds me of auld lads sharing WhatsApp messages back in February saying there'd be a full scale lockdown from me buddy's wifes cousin who works for the government.

LawLover2020 wrote: » Hi all, I have a quick question in relation to disclaimers in Occupiers’ Liability. Am I correct in saying the law can be summarised as follows:S. 5 of the Occupier Liability Act 1995 provides that an occupier may restrict or modify his statutory duties towards entrants on his premises. Any such restriction must be reasonable in the circumstances. Where this restriction occurs through notice, the occupier is under an obligation to take reasonable steps to bring the notice to the attention entrant. This can normally be done by placing the notice prominently on the entry point to the premises. S.5 also provides that an occupier cannot exclude or restrict liability towards the entrant in such a manner as would allow him to intentionally injure the entrant or his property. The nature of the warning must be such as to allow the entrant to avoid the danger on the premises. I guess I’m wondering if the rules on disclaimers apply to entrants as a whole? Or, are there different rules concerning disclaimers for visitors/recreational users/trespassers? Thanks in advance.
