Is it by monorail? Sorry, that's more of a North Haverbrook idea.

You can also use the route planner tool, to find out how long a sea voyage would take between 2 spots on the map. (You can adjust your boats speed, and the depth (draft) of your vessel (smaller boats can go closer to shore etc...)).

A voyage on a boat doing 5 knots from Howth Marina to Dun Laoghaire Marina would take 1 hour 36 minutes. The distance is 8.1 nautical miles. (This however doesn't account for tidal currents which can either slow you down or speed you up).

Credit to PisseGuri82 on Reddit for these. He posts very cool maps on r/MapPorn, but most of them are way too big to embed here so I'll just leave some links. Check out his profile to see others, but this one of the Viking expansion around Europe, this one showing the age of the world's borders, and this one showing Britain in the Dark Ages are some of the coolest imo. The last one was published by the Ordnance Survey in 1935, and despite showing Britain and a small part of Ireland as they appeared from 410-871 AD, Bull Island is visible in Dublin Bay (which formed in the 19th Century :pac:)

Map of our own Milky Way galaxy, which from the most recent astronomical observations and data is believed to be a barred spiral.

Our sun is located about two thirds the way from the galactic centre (believed to harbour a relatively quiescent supermassive black hole) and the outer edge.

I know it is not the point of that map, but it doesn't inspire confidence when the m'way representations on land are over a decade out of date.

Don't sandbanks move etc.?

Navionics are a global leader in marine navigation charts. I'm surprised they even bother adding the roads to their maps

Do Garmin car Sat Nav’s provide up to date locations of sand banks or lighthouses??

there is if there is a cost involved. why pay the licensing costs for up to date road maps when they are not relevant to your user base? They might be owned by garmin but that doesnt mean that garmin will give them road maps for free.

Completely erroneous to lump the north of Ireland in with the “UK” for the Coronavirus.

Statistically it makes far more sense to report incidences for the island of Ireland.

Bullsh1t. There was loads of cross border interaction during the troubles. Just because the Dublin crowd weren't part of it is irrelevant.
It still makes it an island wide issue not a northern or southern one

It doesn't even matter that I haven't a notion of what is happening for the most part, but they are beautiful pieces of visual data.

You are aware that the 6 counties that make up the North of Ireland are part of the UK & a different Country & jurisdiction with different laws & Government & services & everything else that is not in the 26 Counties of the Republic of Ireland arent you?

From the pov of it being a viral outbreak, it very much makes sense to report the island as one. However, there are obvious issues surrounding that as you pointed out.

When the COVID-19 case in Belfast was announced, the HSE had a press conference. The outbreak in the north is an Irish outbreak, and the containment of the virus is an all-island issue.

I remember how Foot and Mouth was handled here in 2001. It was an all-island issue.

Plus the cows are Irish...

Anyway I digress...

How is any of that relevant to the spread of Coronavirus?

You are aware that the Coronavirus doesn’t recognise that there’s a border on the island of Ireland? Therefore any response to the virus on the island should be done on a whole island approach in order to minimise the risk of further spreading. It’s a common sense approach, not a political one.

If people in Finchley in England get it there’s a far less chance of people in Dublin getting it as a result then there is if someone in Belfast has it.
