72 today

Last four days: 23, 47, 50, 72. Lets hope it stops which I am presuming it will.

14 day incidence rate of 240, trending downward still so that's great

That’s disappointing that it’s increasing again; let’s hope it goes down again.

Town was evidently busy last night. https://www.corkbeo.ie/culture/food-drink/watch-socially-distanced-groups-brave-19238195

Plenty of bars doing takeaway pints & drinks.

I love seeing people making the most of what they have. It was cold but it didn't stop them and from what I can see they weren't acting like complete eejits

Was at the English Market today. They were doing crowd control on the entrance by the side street but no crowd control on the entrance on the main street. Didn't make much sense.

It was very crowded inside, almost impossible to social distance in there

I was in there last weekend, and it was busy but I went in knowing it would be. There was no entrance controls from the Grand Parade side.

I didn't feel explicitly unsafe. Wasn't in close contact with anyone for any prolonged period (i.e. 15 mins) so it was just as risky as going to supermarket / shop in general.

I passed the Grand Parade entrance about 45 mins ago and there were controls at that time and a queue to get in. Seems a bit hit ‘n’ miss.

Ah - I was in rather early last weekend, c. 10.30/11am.

Street drinking is illegal AFAIK.

While not ideal, I would far prefer to see people outdoors where the risk of virus spread is 200-300 times lower.

I find that those who are finger-wagging are invariably the very same people who are meeting indoors and increasing the spread of the virus.

True, it would be so much better to cram everybody into a pub.

Or maybe they all put their pints into brown paper bags? Doesn't that make it legal?

Pubs are closed..... Take away pints are dodging the law as the pints are consumed in public places.
Drinking from a bag doesn't make it legal kid.

If it’s so illegal why so could I get a drink go over and sit on a boulder in Patrick street and drink said drink and guards pass me and say nothing....

No ones forcing you to participate so go away with your Covid policing , street drinking is here to stay till pubs open, get used to it.

Of course its illegal. I cannot speak on behalf of those AGS ..... Street drinking may well not be here to stay

They claimed down in Dublin.... https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/2020/0705/1151476-covid-19-dublin/

Also, the illegalality is clarified.

It's a bye law, isn't it?

They should give people a break. I think they only enforce it to move on dodgy types anyway.

Folk gathering in public to swill take away pints etc is a total breach of L5 runstrictions.

You seem to have one yourself TBH.

The more peiple who stick to the rules the quicker folk can go back to their jobs & a normal ish life. When pointing out illegal activity is deemed as having a problem it's not the folk pointing out something is illegal has the problem

Of course it’s not illegal otherwise I would have bee. Fined or arrested, neither of which happened. Your one sad individual.

AGS don't act on all illegal behaviour.
How am I sad?

You were sitting on a boulder drinking in public... AGS probably felt sorry for you.

Yes the people out getting takeaway drinks , are not the people in house parties. They are doing harm to no one and supporting businesses that need it.
