The Gardai didn't shut them down, they were checking compliance. Nice try though.

Nice try? I dont get this?

I think it's crazy that we are letting such draconian moves on our basic freedoms and rights go unchecked

I dont understand why we are being stopped from purchasing clothing in shops. I never thought I would see the day and I am shocked there isn't more outrage about it.

Did you ever think you would see the Gardai posting on Twitter about enforcement and closing off stalls selling socks and boxers in a shop.

Its bonkers and most seem accepting of it

Anyone seen the recent tweets from Gardai twitter showing closed off clothing sections?

It is quite incredible what we have allowed happen in this country

Literally our law enforcement putting out propaganda boasting they have shut down places selling clothing in late autumn

How did we let this happen?

Are we that brain washed? It is really scary

Are the kids halloween costumes closed off too?

Some LEAs are so small that they can rise and fall very quickly.

Absolute zero social distancing in Parks in Dublin today, Like a summer bank holiday and most of the bigger groups of 4 & 5 where people in there 40s up
Out for a run and i was actually shocked at the numbers around

I've just linked this case on my thread about legal challenges to Covid restrictions here on this forum.

Were the older people not cowering away from everybody and throwing themselves in the buses out of fear at approaching people, as reported here earlier?

Shocked at people out living their lives and making the best of things?

Yeah, it's a drag alright...

Conveniently left out this bit;

He didn't exactly go straight from splicing cables to management in the HSE.

So in the space of 5 years he went from cable jointer to executive director, just doesn’t seem plausible.

Risk of spread outdoors is very low. The big fanfare about busy parks and the likes is bizarre

The chance of people catching covid from each while going for a walk in the park on a breezy sunny October day is incredibly low

Not because of covid because it was as busy as a sunmer day it was actually crazy, Forgetting about Covid it was just surprising as the park was empty last while

Thats what happens when they close so many amenities and expect everyone to stay within a small radius. It happened last time and it will happen next time. What amazes me is that they don't understand human behaviours when they come up with these restrictions.

That's what the HSE's winter plan is for.

IMO haven't been exactly overwhelmingly supportive of it. I guess the proof will be in the pudding, the improvement in public health resourcing will be critical.

Exactly. Would we prefer if they were all meeting up in their homes?

We should be encouraging people to get outside. There's some risk of transmission, but they're not going to infect their entire family and friends the same way as an indoor meetup might.

Talk of viruses aside, this is actually a lot of people's most favourite time of year and it's been noticeable since the rise of Social Media. It's not isolated to just this year, it's been this way for as long as I remember!

People love their Autumn evening walks and the colours etc.

It's one of the reasons why I'll be travelling over Christmas, despite any restrictions! I love my winter walks along the sea and seeing the festive lights. I look forward to it all year round!

Government and NPHET can **** off with any travel restrictions they have in place, I will not be conforming! And anyone else who has a problem with that, they can also **** off with them!

It’s because they are not thinking of us being humans,all we are now are cases and casualties

I see the assorted anti-vaxers, deniers, minimizers and right wing fruitcakes have moved on from 'mental health' and 'the economy' to unrelenting 'childish name calling', 'character assassination', 'shooting the messenger' and 'science denial'.

Europe has four times the daily reported rate of the first wave, 8 countries have surpassed one million reported cases and the pandemic is accelerating with almost half a million new cases every day and over 1.1 million reported deaths so far... It's like talking to flat earthers... They refuse to see what is going on in the real world around them and live in some imaginary parallel universe.

Jesus wept...

Cases exploding in France.

A new record 52,010 new cases today and 116 deaths. A Sunday too...

Similar story in Italy with a new record there and 128 deaths.

This coming week is likely to see a significant increase in fatalities according to health officials in France.

I know you mean well, but such information is hardly relevant to Ireland and only serves to create unnecessary fear and discord.

I dont know if this has been mentioned before, but where my relatives live near the border, Tinder has been running as normal. Young and not so young going over and back to Strabane and Derry and vice versa. Its hard to police that when there are approx 12 ways to cross the border in that region.

Kinky.

Sorry but how is it not relevant to Ireland, the virus dynamics are the same in Ireland as it is in France and serves as a reminder that it is still as potent as it was in spring.

ETA: I can only imagine people were saying the same thing about China before it infiltrated Europe and look what happened there...

All these countries had it bad first time around but came out of restrictions a lot faster than we did,

This is a totally meaningless statistic. The numbers from the first wave are not reliable, you cannot compare. The number of actual cases during the first wave was likely many multiples of the reported cases.

Cases in France rising everyday, of course its relevant, more so to show that Ireland is not dealing with this as badly as some on here would have you believe
