Nah, I'll only derail the thread, those gob****es wouldn't know or have the resilience to organise a rave in a field or other secluded location. At least in 90s raves people wore masks

Ah sure why would they bother having it in a discreet location? With their brass neck, it’s much easier to have it on the first night of lockdown in full view of everyone

I live in Dublin North West where the highest incidence of covid in the country is.Went for a drive this weekend around the area and given the recommendations didnt expect to see what I did. Part of pheonix park inaccesible where people could have parked and walked safely and with social distance.Instead the playground and the visitor centre was packed like sardines with people.dont remember seeing it busier or even as busy in twenty years.Blanchardstown sc is as busy as any other weekend despite the recommendations.Dublin is in for a rough ride.

I don't get this. Do all the extra people out and about in parks usually spend all weekend sitting in pubs and restaurants?

Well when the shops etc opened up my local park got a lot more quieter overnight

Their is now a realization among most people that this is going to be a very long term battle with this. Get numbers down suppression, open up suppression again. What I hope to see is that Europe as a whole learn something from lockdown's after this 2nd wave/ Their likely to be many more. Many scientists advised that countries needed to prepare for winter and have the capacity to test in high number but most countries didn't do this and now are left with a very angry society. Difficult to see any lorg term play other than lockdown/suppression until a vaccine is ready or some more evidence of immunity after contracting the virus. The antibody studies have been very underwhelming, that combined with the fact many coronaviruses have short lasting immunity has meant no country has just let the virus run through the community

Just seen the video of the Oliver bond flats. Pure scum. It would rive you mad looking at. We have no chance of getting out of level 3 in Dublin.

Its our taxes that pays for those scroungers...majes my blood boil serin it

For all the moaning here - would the Gards even have power to shut anything down? Unlikely

It shouldn't need the Gardaí to put a stop to a party or disperse a crowd in a shopping centre . The morons congregating should have enough sense to see what they're doing is wrong and only going to add to the grief of restrictions

But that's a bizarre measurement anyway.

You should have corrected the poster who posted 400 cases today when in fact it was 396.

We need to put those on the PUP to work on things that will speed up our recovery.

French deaths on the rise, over 300 today, hospitalisations and ICU admissions also ticking upwards.

Like?

MM was suggesting that artists work in schools.

I thought the whole point of the PUP was that people would be available to go back to work when needed even at short notice?

What do you suggest they do?
Contact tracing? (It would take time to do that, where would they be working from? With what equipment?)
Swabbing? (They would need to be trained)

Maybe they go for a drive in the countryside, which they're not allowed/supposed to do now. So it's not too surprising the biggest park in Dublin is busy on a sunny Sunday.

Project management/ construction of modular buildings for hospital and school extensions for a start. If there employment history lends themselves to that of course.

I would think people with those kind of qualifications and training wouldn't be on the PUP....

Right and that training is through who now?

The artists that would work in schools for some reason?....
