Christ any person watching that press conference will probably be even more confused than they were originally.

Overall aim is to encourage people to reduce the number of contacts so no big groups at sports events and they are doing loads more mass testing. NPHET will review midlands lockdown on Thursday and these regs will run till Sept 13th or so.

Ok, so what are the restrictions again ?

6 inside, 15 outside, all sport behind closed doors.

Still 105 minute limit per table so the extra half hour is literally irrelevant to everyone bar the restaurants themselves who may be able to take an extra table and make more money in a difficult time. Don't see any issue with that at all.

Theses rules are not been followed in quite a lot of pubs around the country. I know my sister lives behind one and says the place is hopping. Doors closed. You wait to go in and when you do there is hardly standing room. Very unfair on legit places who are run correctly or have remain closed

I wonder how many meat factories are in Ireland? Hundreds I would think. Are they going to rock up to each one and set up a tent and carry out testing on a weekly basis? That's a big ask.

System has capacity to do 100K tests a week, so it'll be fine.

So 15 people at outdoor gatherings/sports training but matches can go ahead?

30 on the field for a rugby match+ subs for each team.
22 on the field for a soccer match + subs for each team.

Its getting a bit mad now...

Also whats with "restaurants" getting a 30 min extension on closing time, hard to believe experts discusses such a thing, who orders dinner at 10PM??

All teams are allowed, just only 15 are allowed watch. He said it's not perfect but it's to stop 300 odd meeting before and after.

Main point was to limit contact with people to try stop the virus but it wasn't really explained well.

They said 15 people outside effective immediately, hope the Gardai don't rock up to his door.
