    And you got such abuse on another thread for highlighting this, what is wrong with people, do they not understand the meaning of social isolation, I notice the police and civil defence had to intervene.

    How can you possibly say it will make the front page of the Irish Times tomorrow, not even the editors will have decided that yet.

    They should be denied care if they expect it - doctors like at some stage to have to prioritize, so they should be just ahead of the Cheltenham folk at the bottom of the list

    I agree peas for brains is the blow ins not the locals. The same thing is happening in rural UK - the Scottish highlands and the Welsh hills being inundated by people from London etc.

    Just to add would like to thank boards for closing the previous thread of looking for bit of support for this today .
    Boards Might have done your bit for ur country if u left it open besides protecting the clowns that don’t understand to stop spreading the virus . https://twitter.com/clarechampion/status/1241753423474720768?s=21

    The virus doesn't like fresh air, so once you keep the 2m recommended distance, there should be no problem.

    If anything it is important for mental health to get out of the house.

    Problem is too many people don't think about looking for other areas to walk. Miles upon miles of roadway on the burren, plenty of quiet inlets, but everyone goes to Lahinch?

    Indeed, people with zero cop on are travelling long distance because today is Sunday and the children want an ice-cream. A serious attitude problem prevails, "I'm alright Jack it won't happen to me". I live 15km from the coastline in Clare, wouldn't dream of going near it and haven't done so in a fortnight. Stricter measures need to be implemented, otherwise there is potential for rampant spread of covid-19. Cannot let a minority of ignorant people cause significant grief for the majority.

    Where is the statement that people must stay at home.

    I've seen where those who are not well or have been abroad must self isolate and stay at home.

    Everyone else have been told to social distance themselves.


    If you can link to this new "stay at home" statement, it would be appreciated.

    - official source please, not fakebook or some rag like the daily mail

    I brought my 4 kids to ballybunniin yesterday and left them off they were like young calves after been left out for the first time in spring back in to the car again after an hour and home for another week. I honestly thought I was doing a good thing getting a bit of sea air and getting them out and about.

    People who gather in places, indoors or outdoors, where it is completely unrealistic that they can maintain the required distance between themselves and others at all times are clearly not well and should stay home. Is that clear enough for you?

    Nothing wrong with that as long as you observed the distance rules, that is all people are asked to do, to have respect for others and maintain the 6 feet distance, if this is not possible, move along to a quieter beach.

    Been pointed out to me that people are at all stages of the dawning realization chart as to the real dangers of failing to maintain social distancing and more. This clip of Dr. Catherine Motherway of UHL goes a long way towards hopefully putting us all on the same page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jpbnLBwlKo

    The problem is when hoards of people go into the chipper, ice cream shop, petrol station, sweet shop etc. etc.

    Lahinch is a small town, when its sunny, it gets very busy.

    Well, whatever happened to the poster, if she or any of her family catches the C-19 virus, she'll be glad there (rightly) won't be protests against affected people travelling from areas in to Limerick, Dublin, Cork, Waterford or any of the hospitals in urban areas to avail of treatment from overworked front line HSE workers. No matter where she's from or what registration she has in her car.

    Don't forget, the first cluster in Ireland was in the West.

    It works both ways. If you see social distancing ignored, avoid & report, act responsibly and maturely, don't take the law in to your own hands and don't be mean spirited.

    How did all these people manage to get there without being stopped ?

    Where were the Gardai ?

    I can’t move here in North Wicklow without meeting a checkpoint.

    They didn't get there in the first place, nor did they try to.

    The whole post lockdown mass exodus from Limerick (and other cities) was a fallacy, the result of over zealous WhatsApp, Facebook and curtain twitcher groups spreading misinformation and bull. The majority of people exiting the cities were irresponsible adult children heading "back home" to their elderly parents houses with their kids.

    But because you asked on thread as to why a post was deleted I'll now respond on thread.

    Your post quoted another post that was deleted so deleting your post was a quick way of dealing with it.
    Your post could be seen to "attack the poster not the post" which is against posting rules.
    Your post could be seen as backseat moderating which is against post rules.

    The only thing on the IT website mentions Kerry, not Clare. Not sure if both related.
    https://www.irishtimes.com/news/social-affairs/kerry-asylum-seekers-ask-to-be-moved-after-quarantine-introduced-at-centre-1.4243157
    Nearly 80 asylum seekers have asked to be relocated from the town of Cahersiveen in Co Kerry after quarantine measures were introduced at the direct provision centre where they are living....The residents also criticised the Government for moving people from a Dublin hotel to Cahersiveen despite the HSE raising concerns around the transfer of more than 100 refugees during the pandemic.

    now this is a disgrace.

    i know the hotel used and it would never be suitable for housing guests in a pandemic. shameful behaviour by those in charge and also totally wrong for the people placed in this environment.

    The fact that no testing was done on people transferred was equally disgusting. Cahersiveen is a small community and introducing this virus through moving people (through no fault of their own) was a BAD decision for these people and also a rather elderly population in that area.
