They had to keep services like the NCT going, the huge backlog from last time still hasn't been cleared.

I'm not comfortable with the NCT as they were quite lax in the early part last shutdown. Don't like a stranger sitting into my car. At this time would you pick up some one hiking on the road?

Went to smyths this evening. It wasn't very busy. I bought nothing. They are closing tomorrow evening.

Heading there tomorrow to pick up a few small bits for the young lad, surprises for during lockdown to distract him. Last time I headed I didn't go in, the que was quite long outside as they were limiting the number of people inside.

They will still be operating click and collect and home delivery during lockdown

I might have a look at the home delivery

Aldi will be limiting toy purchases to one per customer during lockdown.

I can imagine, the items I was thinking of aren't available either, I bet they're in store like you say.

Relax there.
The teachers have explained the science to the kids. Within their safe zone they are sufficiently far away from students not to be a risk. This isn’t a bad example, this is treating the kids with respect and keeping with the science rather than optics.

It is very questionable if the pupils are treated with respect.
Yes, the pupils were instructed on what and what not to do.
In that particular school one teacher (rightly) told off a pupil for not following the one way system and that teacher then did the same thing.

Also social distance is not practised where the lockers are situated.
Many of the pupils are scared they may get the Virus.
I am not anti-teacher by any means. I am pointing out the hypocrisy.

No lockers in our school anymore. They took them out. Each child has a plastic box under their desk that only their books go in. Some schools seem to be better set up than others

Only senior intercounty GAA remains playing, all underage games postponed.

Depended completely on a good Principal and good Chairperson BOM.

Mehal Martin looks like he has aged about 10 years since taking over, shocking the way they haven't prepared for this second wave that was inevitable to arrive, no plan what's so ever, shocking.

The failure of contract tracking is just deplorable.
They were so late looking for staff and it seems didn’t hire enough either.

Considering all the people that volunteered their services this is completely unacceptable

There are so many cases though, it would be near impossible to do it properly at the moment even with the right amount of staff. Crazy cases in Meath and cavan atm

This was all predictable. If they are maxing out at capacity they have to ask themselves should a different method of monitoring be used and keep some resources aside for healthcare workers

If I rang the golf course and asked if I could use it for a good gallop, do you reckon it would go down well? :pac:

I wonder will the golf clubs have to refund the membership fees as 2020 was a write off ?

Most couldn’t afford to. Don’t agree with banning the golf. Easy to keep socially distance. A chance for older people to meet up have. A game and a chat. What else are they going to do in the next 6 weeks in this farm weather.

Got the all clear folks:) - though not such good news for one of our work team as his wife and mother has tested positive and both are not in good shape:(

I'll go against the current, look at the previous Govt, put out a worldwide call that Ireland needed help. Something like 73,000 people returned home. SFA of them got any work !

Our politicians are as bad as each other.
