No, it is clearly not allowable under the present restrictions. Why do you think these limits are placed on a population?

The self-entitlement of cyclists......

Either a troll or a very bad joke - poor effort.

What about a car? Can someone travel to pickup their new car?

Only if they go on their bike.

The 5km rule only applies to exercise. you can travel as far as you need to once it's for an allowable purpose. Collecting a bike would be allowable

Agreed - if the shop is deemed essential enough to be open, my logic is it’s reasonable to travel to it.

Although I think click and collect is not allowed at the moment anyway.

Are kids still going to be allowed do GAA training?

Another example of one rule for the GAA and another for everyone else?

I work on a community employment scheme for the last few years .
its a front line job with an organization that provides supports to adults with intellectual disabilities . I have asked my supervisor if there were any plans to halt these hours I do as in the first wave in March and got a very curt reply basically saying I will tell you when you need to know. I know people on other schemes with far less personal contacts than us being told to stay at home
Given the scheme is supported by social welfare and government is saying reduce your contacts and travel I find this counterproductive ,
Anyone else know of similar

Can someone explain to me if creches are currently open or when do these restrictions kick in? We have received no communication from our creche and they appeared to be operating as normal this morning.

Just ring them.
The rules are fairly grey and each creche has a different take on it.

That poster's link (https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/60ecc-essential-retail-outlets-for-level-5/) now bears the following:

And still includes reference to garages remaining in the list of essential businesses. At the same time, your link is still reported as being updated - confusion abounds?

That list has also now been updated and confirms garages will remain open:

So is this meant to be all teachers, or only those attending school physically?

"Schools

Certain education provision such as teaching, SNA support and other services required to support the delivery of the education related services being provided under Level 5. "

New one is currently being updated. This is the most recent thing that I could find an-updated-list-of-essential-workers-who-can-leave-home-on-during-the-january-level-5-lockdown

Hmm. That's essential workers which I guess should correlate with essential retail outlets.

Interesting. NCT centres still seem to be operating so I imagine mechanics would also need to be open to? Will have to wait and see I guess.

Are all these changes coming into effect from Friday?

Thanks!
Looks like I'd better keep checking the sites for updates though (with even such pivotal services as creches suffering confusion!).

I assume it's still current. It explicitly says it's the "list of essential retail outlets at Level 5" so just because it hasn't been updated in a week doesn't necessarily mean it's outdated. It's all the public has to work with at the moment.

How do you know there's a new one being updated?

Gov.ie said the same thing yesterday before it was removed for updating.

I know that mechanics will be open as they say that "Outlets providing for the repair and maintenance of mechanically propelled vehicles" are essential. But they also say "You should only leave your home if you have a 'reasonable excuse' for doing so."

I assume going to a mechanic is a reasonable excuse, even though it's not in their list, right?

Well any idea as to when the government is going to update their list ?

https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/3bd76-essential-workers-at-level-5/

I am reading conflicting information what is says here https://www.leinsterexpress.ie/news/coronavirus/600140/an-updated-list-of-essential-workers-who-can-leave-home-on-during-the-january-level-5-lockdown.html for instance is completely different to what's written here https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/c9158-essential-services/.

I'd say the last link is the old list of essential workers even though it says last updated on 6th of January.
When I originally looked at the first link yesterday it was pretty much as restrictive as we had back in the March lock down.
