    Class sent home, which means the pods are working as planned, no? This is exactly what should happen. Says nothing about the school closing.

    Sorry, I thought Claire Byrne said the school closed. Anyway let's hope the pods system will work as there will surely be more schools outbreaks.

    As most people would guess anyway - brought in from the "community".

    Are posters not allowed to post a thread related item which was referred to as "breaking news" on a main Irish radio show?

    And they would have had a good idea of these figures when lifting the Kildare restrictions yesterday, so they can’t be overly concerned about them.

    Yup, I didn't get a chance to fully go through the numbers but on a quick look had it around there. Particularly when they'd have known about them when making the Kildare decision

    More info. Unconfirmed so take with a pinch of salt. Seems older kids with online zoom etc.
    Did not take long hopefully spread will be limited.

    Probable new cases. From some WhatsApp group but have been pretty accurate.

    I thought you were referring to my post about today's school outbreak. Apologies if I took you up wrong.

    I dont have an issue with people posting news, thats what the thread is for. What isn’t needed is all this “that didn’t take long” and “i told you so” nonsense

    Its going to happen. You'll have kids who's family members test postive and then the schools are involved. Kid might test postive then.

    Shouldn't come as any shock really

    Even if they didn't post it, I'd say "that didn’t take long" was the first thought into most people's heads!

    So is it a case of those 110 should have been spread over Saturday, Sunday and yesterday?
    Doesn't look quite so rosy if that's the case but any day without a death I will take as a positive.

    The fact you're taking glee in all of this tells me everything I need to know about you.

    Technically yes. It's ~110 positive results over the weekend that aren't accounted for in the numbers so far announced. Most likely these 110 results weren't reported by GPs/doctors until yesterday evening.

    This is why the 14-day incidence is more important than the day-to-day, because trough and peaks are smoothed down.

    214 cases? That's very high.

    And 135 in Dublin and Kildare? They need to put restrictions back onto Kildare and Dublin.

    If we knew yesterday evening here there was 110 unaccounted results surely the government did too when lifting the restrictions

    No we weren't. We were told that if we wanted to keep the number of cases in schools low, we needed to reduce the spread in the community.

    The ones that were lifted yesterday when they'd have known about these cases??

    I've family in Kildare and for all of NPHET and Donnelly saying well done to the people of Kildare, there was absolutely no difference in day to day life with the "restrictions". Everything was still open and life went on as it did everywhere else. Only thing you couldn't do was sit inside a restaurant.

    Plus when you average it out over the three days from Sunday to today, it works out at 103 cases a day, which is very much in line with the daily numbers we've seen recently.

    This response is disastrous and reads like something from February.

    Firstly, family is not required to restrict movements but child is. So the potentially asymptomatic child gives it to his family, parents continue going to work and asymptomatic spread goes wildly out of control which is how this all started in March.

    Secondly, siblings are still allowed go to school despite using common touch surfaces, common toys at home, remote control for the television etc. You can't stop kids from playing unless you lock the potentially infected child in a room which lets face it no parent is going to do.

    This is utterly half arsed in my opinion.
