    It does quite a bit, one tangible thing it does while in place is it prevents evictions.

    An Irish solution to an Irish problem?

    Why do the Gards need to enforce it then?

    Do you guys even question this alternative universe you have created for yourselves

    In what sane world would a 5km travel limit prevent evictions?:confused:

    @Graham, your folks are sorted:
    Spain has also started to roll back on its restrictions. Changes have been made to Madrid’s curfew time, with it moving from 10pm to 11pm, for instance.

    Bars and restaurants can stay open until 11pm.
    Even Madrid is open until 11pm, tell them 'Copeyhagen said enjoy your revenue stream reopening and youre freedom'

    cheers

    If the rumoured plan that has been leaked (again...) to the press is true then it doesn’t offer much hope of any at all.


    no targets again :mad:

    Yeah, right. Spoofer

    You were the one caught exaggerating excess deaths, you are not in any position to call anybody anything...I have clearly made my point and expressed an opinion based on what we do already know and provided a source...You've had the wool pulled over your eyes by the sharp brains in The Journal **sniggers**

    Thanks for that.

    That really is mad - tying a ban of evictions to a 5km travel limit seems dubious at best - also moving house is a valid reason to go beyond 5km limit, so would wonder how the eviction ban can tie in with that rule.

    you may recall that chap took out a page in the IT stating covid19 facts.
    their fact checker stated that despite the facts being correct the ad was false cos it sent the wrong message - or some banal fudge like that.
    you couldn't make it up

    but it got better (or worse) - the hero staffer from the journal then attacked the IT on twitter for publishing such a reckless ad - in her opinion - there should be only 1 view no discussion or dissent.

    This is just one example but covid has shown clearly that journalism is dead in ireland.

    As Michael McNamara TD said in the dail - "they want government funding and they deserve it they've been doing your bidding for the past year"

    I'll let them know they should move to Madrid and leave you to delight in how clever you think you're being.

    You don't need to be evicted to move house.

    What is the justification for a ban on evictions when the 5k rule is in place?

    Because it can't be that you cant evict someone because they cant find & move to a new place, because moving house is permitted.
    So what is the justification in tying the ban to the 5km limit?

    This 5k story is unbelievable. Just when you thought they couldn't get any worse

    I’m feeling really physically sick this morning with anger about this. It’s so beyond outrageous.

    My guess would be it was the easiest was of ensuring that no evictions occurred during the highest level of restrictions.

    well Madrid and Sevilla were both wost hit, and both reopened so it doesnt matter what part theyre in now, theyre free to open, whole Country/municipals are.

    meanwhile your joke of a Country has unjustified (IMO) lockdowns.

    you were the one with the arsehole tone when you knew they were on the verge of opening (if they ahdnt already): "copeyhagen said open the terrace, and bar, and restaurant"

    im honestly glad for them. sad for us.

    Yes but *how* - what legal justification is there for tying it to a 5k travel restrictions that already has exceptions for moving house? How can the 2 be reconciled?
    Genuine question, I cant get my head around it

    to the concern of a significant part of the population, Madrid is relaxing restrictions.

    I don't know about Sevilla, I'll take your word for it.

    im not joking, im glad for your folks and wish them well.

    im at the end of my mental capability with this lockdown.

    i want to get over to my folks for a break, even bring one of the kids (other ones back in school next week i think)... i really need it for my mental health i think.

    and i cant. im trapped here due to this 5km level 5 restriction. its archaic, having the gardai in the airport pouncing on people trying to escape.

    if they relax some restrictions but keep the 5K, it will be telling, they need to go back to 20K or county at the soonest when the weather picks up or people will just ignore it anyway

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Pure manufactured consent. It's blatantly obvious too.

    “The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.”- ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

    It is a great comfort to see so many people seeing through the complete hysteria pumped at us every day, under the guide of "experts" who have been consistently wrong from the very start yet here they are today, still getting airtime....and by wrong I don't mean underestimating the threat of the virus, I mean a complete over estimation of the threat...the numbers however don't lie.

    You'd wonder, at what point will the penny drop with the hardened anti science lock downers...what will be the straw that breaks the camels back as it were....you'd have thought the ridiculous 5km limit being stretched till May it seems would be the straw, but that hasn't happened...what will it take to break them?

    So our latest living with not living with covid plan is another shambles. Kick the can on down the road until another few hundred thousand are vaccinated.

    This is a monumental disgrace at this stage.

    Awaiting the high case numbers and increased deaths this evening to somehow try and justify this.

    The shows nearly over though. Once evenings get brighter people ain’t going to be listening anymore.

    It’s getting to the point now where its the people ourselves have to start relaxing the restrictions. Take the control away from NPHET and government.

    A year on and the plan is we have no plan.
