How far away from their premises are they responsible - across the public road and a few meters either side of the shop front?

Because that's where the park in question is in relation to the Curragower, also, the drinkers could well be taking pints from another local pub.

Mickeys were advertising takeaway then had to delay it over a issue in the lane
Other than that not sure what other places doing it...strange that Curragower doing takeaway pints and people sitting outside it

I've no idea what you're actually saying in relation to the post you quoted.

In other but related "news" I walked past the Curragower the other night and it was closed but there were people in the small park having a pizza and a few drinks. Other than maybe civic pride I can't see why the Curragower should have to clean that area as they certainly didn't sell the food or drink to the group.

FWIW I drank some takeaway pints in the park across from the Curragower last Saturday. All civilised people and a staff member from the C’gower actually came out every half hour or so with a black bag to collect empty glasses/holders.

That solves the littering issue so we can all move on and forget about it.

Had to drop into the chemist in grove island this morning so went into lush to get a takeaway coffee which I brought home and put in my bin before anyone asks !

Few of the usual socks in tracksuit pants brigade inside getting takeaway food of some sort with no masks as usual, I wonder do they even understand what is going on around them sometimes.

RTÉ erroneously reporting Limerick had 36 cases on yesterday's list. Tried to contact them to change, but had no luck

A single days numbers don't really mean much. It the 14 day average that's important. We've had low single digit figures twice in the last 8 days.

The 14 day incidence rate is 220 for Limerick. That's actually down from 269 a week ago. And that's what's important, not where we are compared to other counties.

I'm based abroad currently, and have been reading about these new tests people will have to take before travelling. Assuming I get back to Limerick, does anyone know if they have stated yet where these tests can be taken. Proper full on tests....

Starting price €149(both news outlets have different opinions on the pricing it seems) per test but kind of weird its in the airport because it says you should get it up to 72 hours before going but it its on the airport then you'd travel to the airport, from your home, head home and then head back for your flight a days later. Otherwise could you arrive at the airport 5 hours early get it done and hope that you get the result before you depart as landing in another airport(not Airlines problem) and turning on your phone to get a missed call where they are trying to tell you that you're positive is a bit of a b*tch.

So I'd have to pay for one before leaving Spain and then another in Limerick before coming back. That would be €300 excluding flights. 72 hrs before? I could get Covid the day before travelling.
Having to go to the airport would be a pain in the balls as well.

There’s no commercial flights from Shannon at the moment, so where it says Shannon Airport read Shannon COVID-19 Testing Facility.

I had my NCT 2 days ago but could buckle my Suspension tomorrow, car is still grand as it has an NCT. Weird eh'

On paper you're fine but I can see your point. Catch Covid19 1 hour after getting the test.

There is another thread running on here where it’s pointed out that there is no requirement for a test to enter Ireland, you do have to fill out a passenger locator form, there is no legal requirement at the moment for you to take a test while here but Spain it looks like have introduced a new requirement that you will need to take a test before returning to Spain

It's still essential travel only so it's not like you should be trying to factor this into how much your holiday will cost

Essential travel only is a recommendation only, not a rule. There is nothing to actually stop you traveling. And as another poster said above, the only requirement is to fill out the locator form. Even the 14 day self isolation is only a recommendation.

And by Christmas, that recommendation will be gone anyway as the traffic light system will be in effect.

This whole testing 3 days before travel is a bit of a joke in my humble opinion. It's testing theater and I don't understand how it stands up to any level of scrutiny. You can have COVID19 and still return a not detected result because you haven't met the detectable threshold for molecular testing? That's ignoring the other facet which is one can get tested today and return not detected go home and get exposed to COVID but get on a flight in 3 days time (based on the merit of said test)? This doesn't make any sense?

I don't have a suggestion on how to improve that process or suggest any alternative but this is an effort to store water in a colander.

On to Limerick related things: The refusal of the UHL Hospital Group to put even a ballpark number on the outbreaks in the hospital system is pretty harrowing. Student nurses and medical students were sent home from each site effective immediately yesterday evening...

breezy1985

It all works on the assumption that you will be a good boy and self isolate between test and flight but we all know people can't be trusted

Granadino

And I'd still have to travel via Dublin as well. It's hard to know what to do. Sit it out here and go back home after Christmas for a bit.
