As far as I can make out they are open but you can only eat/drink outside.... In October.... In ireland.

So they're basically closed.

Give.ie says outdoor dining at level 4 but at level 3 it's says further restrictions on indoor dining, not very clear at all

Do barbers and hairdressers close at Level 5?

niallo27 · 05-10-2020 09:38PM

Only one thing for it, one last piss up tomorrow because the pubs ain't opening for a few months again. Social distancing puss up.

Micheál stated we need to give the graduated approach a chance, but level 5 is not being ruled out.

You're awfully positive on here

Yes, they close at level 4.

MikeSoys · 05-10-2020 09:38PM

Level 3.. Will they have garda controlling the border? not the main issue. short lock down needed maybe... seen two people strolling in tescos without a mask and heard someone in aldi with a deep hollow cough on Sunday(somewhere in store) ..

Wear a bloody mask please...

You can put all the restrictions and levels you like in place but unless you get compliance it won't make any difference.
You'll always get people that think it doesn't apply to them or you'll get some making exceptions.
That's what's happening.
Unless you've been living in a cave these last few weeks everyone must've seen this coming

We will now need a long level 5 lockdown in 2 weeks or so. People are forgetting that its grows exponentially. Dubling time of about9 days and with cases so high its pretty scary

Wrap it up there Paschal, good lad

It's pretty clear now that the Government will not go to level 5 until the hospitals are unable to cope, so I'd say a month from now perhaps.

As you say the problem with that is it requires a much longer imposition of tougher restrictions as you need to wait until the pressure on the hospitals reduces significantly - i.e. by people moving through treatment from start to finish. I'd argue that a two week long down now would not have as detrimental an economic impact as one for 4 - 6 weeks will have leading up to and into Christmas. That's what's in store now.

Donnelly honestly turns my stomach, stop pausing between words man. SPEAK

Presser on RTE News, Leo on RTE1, overkill.

For those who don't like it, its balancing the economy and public health.

Government notably avoiding conflict with Nphet
or reasoning for not going to level 5

My prediction is that we’ll be in level 5 for 2 weeks before Christmas and 2 after. It’ll coincide with many people’s holidays and school breaks and I think that’s when we will have our “circuit breaker” but things will get hairy long before then
