They put down tarmac and light fixtures along with a few shipping containers. Where will all the parents in 4x4s double and triple park now?

Balmed Out wrote: » What are you talking about, I didn't say anything of the sort. You said there was not a link to the amount of positive case results and contact tracing and I explained that there is. Close contacts of positive cases are tracked and tested resulting in more positive cases, one would hope that people would have the kop on to let close contacts know themselves who will than arrange tests but of course there would be those that won't. If there is a lot of cases with no contact tracing performed there will be people who are not tested and who would have been tested positive.

And by the way why are Ryanair allowed fly without leaving the middle seat empty and then also operating their trolley service which was supposed to be banned, but I can’t sit in a well spaced out area having a pint.

There was 49 people on an aircraft with 283 seats so when you add in crew it was just over 20% full, the equivelant of 10 people on a bus éireann coach.

Also, no mention of the origin country. If it was from a region that was much worse than us at the time, it would highlight problems with governments travel policies and lack of enforcement.
