Went for a walk around Mount Oval and Rochestown today, great to see so many people out enjoying the weather. Gards around to see what's happening but not intervening in anyone out and about. Happy Paddy's Day all.

Town buzzing as well and businesses doing well today. Great to see and no silly carry on that I've seen.
Conversely, I haven't seen a single guard in the city centre,and I've walked around for an hour or so.

We'll be told today is the reason things aren't reopening so I'm not as positive on it all as ye are. We'll be into May at this stage

Heckler · 17-03-2021 5:49pm

Plenty around the Lough just now but not mental. One motorcycle Guard stopping at the Church end. Big Q outside Galvins so just went up the road to centra. No queues.

Can already hear the distant bass from college road. There are going to be big partys tonight.

Not much is expected to open in April, construction iirc and the 5km thing also.

EU have travel plans/proposals for summer

We probably won't even be allowed to travel to the airport by summer, and won't have a vaccine even if we are.

17-03-2021 6:17pm

Vaccine not a must have... the European Commission proposed that its so-called Digital Green Certificates, which should be free of charge, would be delivered to EU residents who could prove they had been vaccinated, but also to those who tested negative for the virus or had proof they had recovered from it.

On a day with increased figures and positivity rate overall, lower cases than average in Cork.
10 additional cases today.

17 additional deaths RIP
557 new cases with 10 in Cork

KrustyUCC · 17-03-2021 6:39pm

RIP

10 cases is excellent for Cork

ACitizenErased · 17-03-2021 6:47pm

As I said during the week, the same few counties are driving cases atm. Kildare, Donegal and Meath all in the top 4 again today.

KrustyUCC · 17-03-2021 6:55pm

Really hope they can get a handle on cases in those counties so

Sad thing is we're going to stuck with same restrictions in Cork unless national cases come down

They came bang on 6pm. No big scene made or anything. They asked people there to politely move on as “they had a good day” with no trouble. No arrests and the Garda had some crack with people too which included returning a stray American football. Some social media pictures and videos circulating are taken from a strategic angles also and have been debunked already as they don’t show how spaced out things were. It was 2 public order vans and I’m not sure those Garda actually left the vans. The ones chatting to people were normal Garda with no batons or anything.

Kildare and Meath very near Dublin, level 5 for Leinster to continue? Could Munster go level 2 or 3, MM should try it

If the Taoiseach was not from the area he was easing restrictions, maybe, but it would look too much like minding his own if mm did it.

The Lord Mayor & his spouse were privileged enough to be allowed to attend Mass today at the Cathedral.

I would describe myself as rather into my faith. Daily Mass pre-COVID in addition to Sunday and being very involved with my local church etc, for context. So this struck a chord with me on a number of levels. The faithful have been denied Mass for months by the authorities. The Lord Mayor was in the paper calling for people to not to attend a reasonable protest and here he is at Mass when the other faithful cannot attend due to lockdown restrictions he himself was crying out for people to obey last week.

That's extremely poor judgement for anyone in politics, elected or not!

Mardyke · 17-03-2021 9:34pm

That guy doesn't seem to be the brightest. He is unable to read the room for a start.

There isn't a whimper out of him when it comes to illegal parking, gates closed into Tramore Valley etc.

He loves a photo though. Clown.

His racist comments at the Douglass event recently sum him up.

Saw that earlier and did think that is particularly stupid of him. Not religious myself but can understand fully why people would want to attend mass and how his special treatment is crap.
Local priest came and said mass for my elderly mother in her kitchen a few months ago which she was very appreciative of. Very decent of him I thought.

The left footers had mass in a field last Autumn where people stayed in their cars and the minister did his thing on an open air altar.

Anyone know what the current schedule for second doses for the over 85 year old cohort is? Is there a delay in the second dose or is it usually 3/4 weeks after first dose?

Over 85s are all getting Pfizer/Moderna so should be 3 to 4 weeks later.
