    every day? There was absolutely none for good few days in a row during that stormy weather last week. And with more storms coming there will be none again for a good few days.




    You live in a level they want you to live. I don't live in any of their levels. To me all I see is closed shops, other than that not much changed in my life.

    Their not there every hour of the day but drive out the bandon road at about 4 and I guarantee you will meet them, I have met them there at that time every day this week.

    This is the issue with leaks, its like Chinese whispers

    That's outrageous. I understand hospitality and group events but to continue to keep Click/collect for non-essential retail, golf, tennis and other already proven safe activities closed is unacceptable and I think they'll lose the room if they continue without some rational nuance.

    Or in the case of newspapers the most depressing headlines to attract clicks even if the body of text bears little to no relation to the headline.

    So again no covid checkpoints today. Not even a squad car in sight in Cork. I guess it's level 3 now.

    Nice to be able to travel without being harassed.

    Cork is a very big county

    I got stopped in one checkpoint today

    That one is a permanent one that's there every day

    Seriously, there are so many lockdown fanatics who have not been affected financially that this will go on until they are affected financially.

    That is the bottom line. Everybody feels sorry for others only as long as they are not hit financially themselves.

    Maybe. But if compliance is dropping in any sort of meaningful way, it's among people who don't have smartphones.

    Those that do are being remarkably compliant.

    Yes that's possible

    It's also possible that such a strategy will lose the compliance of a lot of people along the way

    That's 5 months minimum of not seeing friends, family, partners within counties not to mind in other counties

    The restrictions might not have changed but a lot of people won't comply for that long imo

    Yup i think so too

    So strict restrictions until early May followed by a slow painful careful easing of restrictions after that

    2021 is shaping up to be worse than 2020 the way things are going

    Fair enough for hospitality to be closed til then but they can go fcuk themselves if they keep hairdressers, gyms, non essential retail closed that long.

    They have to give a little or they will loose the people
    There is no reason not to open click and collect
    Do away with the 5 kms stupid nonsense
    Let us buy our knickers in Dunnes
    Let us meet our family in the garden at very bloody least . We might freeze to death but at least we will have something
    Let us bubble up with one other family and that family only .
    Give us a bloody break now

    Can you not already meet your family if you want to?

    Most seem to be doing it anyway.

    A friend of mine posted a quote on his feed today. I think it is honest and apt.
    'We are not all in this together, we are in the same storm together that's all. Some have yachts, some have kayaks others are drowning'.

    I consider myself lucky my job is the same now as it was 1 year ago, two years ago and will be the same two years from now. The same cannot be said for 1000's of my fellow citizens and they have my sympathy.

    The only thing there I could see happening is meeting family outdoors unfortunately

    If they're delaying construction that will be back before non essential retail

    5km nonsense will remain as they have that linked to not being able to evict people

    Don't think they would change the bubble system even though that would be great

    Keeping very strict restrictions for so long is going to rebound on the government

    People are having their fill
