It's a walkway between Harvey Norman and togher. That is a tunnel under the road
It's a complete joke. Also all these bars serving take away drinks adds to it sure look at the carry on down the docks it was like a rave there this afternoon

Walkway down to the right of the kinsale road Harvey Norman.

Strange tunnel, never liked going through it other than morning time, bend in it and you cannot see the other end!

I occasionally go through it for a jog, but during the daytime. It's a lot better now that it has lights, the first I went through there a few years back it was very dark and because of the bend you couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Remember having some doubts but eventually drove on.

Clear blue sky and already heat in the sun. The Lough is going to be teeming today.

Has the anti social behaviour got worse with Covid19 lockdown restrictions as it was bad in some areas always, the parents should face consequences, high fines if under age or if older then high fines direct to individuals non payment then prison

If bins are full take your rubbish home or to a nearby bin, I hate seeing the disposable masks thrown on the ground

Down at Blackrock Village earlier enjoying the weather, coffee and a there was an absolutely lovely buzz. Not busy, everyone sitting spaced out in great form enjoying themselves. Three lads busking, playing nice chilled out music. An ideal mid-day treat.

Then two guards came along and moved them on. Killed the atmosphere immediately and lots of people went away.

Livid. I know they've got a job to do too but it's still really annoying. They went after the low hanging fruit.

And people wonder why the public's losing interest. Ridiculous carry on. Nowhere to be seen when they're needed.

457 cases today. 3 deaths.

242 in hospital.
58 in ICU (Lowest since 2nd January)

No county breakdown today either.

Was any reason given for the move to announcing numbers at 4pm as opposed to 6pm lately?

Numbers are released at 9am every day to NPHET so there's no need for them to keep them that late unless there's a presser

No county breakdown is annoying. Maybe it's just cos of the weekend in it but it also wouldn't shock me if its to deflect from people calling for regional restrictions.

I'd say the HPSC has less staff on for Easter since they didn't get a break at Christmas

That’s exactly what I’m thinking. They are all about hidden agendas this government.

Unfortunately county data has nothing to do with either NPHET or the government

Surely it's better to let these public gathering happen instead of it happening in doors or smaller gardens?

Per the COVID tracker app, 36 cases in Cork yesterday

That's poor

Can't explain that with backlog of swabs

Definitely a small tick upwards in Cork cases

You don’t count a trend on two days. Based on the fact it isn’t backlog there’s realistically an outbreak somewhere. We’ll see on the LEA data next week.

Why do they feel the need to have a press conference almost every day, surely its a waste of valuable resources ?

I'm a bit confused, the app says April 2 for that 36 figure, but wasn't it 19 cases two days ago?

Hmm, go in town and tackle the smack heads shooting up on the streets in front of passers by, or head down to Blackrock and tackle the 3 lads busking.
Tough choice I know.
Is it any wonder the people are loosing patience.

There's press conferences twice a week - Monday which is normal questions and Thursday where there is a modelling update
