irrespective of who they are social distancing must be adhered to,and the 5 kml limit

I totally agree.
What other social groups are failing in this regard, in your opinion?

I'm all for social distancing but the way people are acting on this thread it's like Cork is riddled. We have one of the country's lowest infection rates and the hospitals are empty. I don't see much of an issue with people attending funerals here rn.

I say again I've a grandaughter who got it, fairly certain it was because of lack of social distancing,and our only way out of this problem is abide by the government advice

Obviously that's concerning yes but it technically happened in a nation which has the highest death rate in Europe. You can't compare what's happening up north with down here. Cork has not been hit badly, and it is statistically proven, no matter how much people think it has.

11 travellers ( love that description) stopped all together heading from Cork to Laois, guess what happened? Nada ,gardai took their names and addresses FFS let them go,must have the weakest police force in Europe

corks finest wrote: »

My personal opinion is until the gardai come down heavy this is not going away quickly

And as seen ref travellers funerals last few weeks, they don't just do social distancing

corks finest wrote: »

There is though,rules are for everyone, but as usual travellers think rules don't apply to them,as we've seen in Cork at their funerals of late
No social distancing
150 plus ppl attending, yet settled ppl obey the max 10 rule
And this crap 11 idiots traveling from Cork to take part in an illegal sulky race
Only the do goodie lefties don't see a problem

Reason is obvious,most ppl are adhering, needs to stay this way ,but idiots like those 11 are not adhering and risk passing/ receiving virus ,and before long we could be in a bad state,and all will continue to suffer this shagging lockdown

I'm sorry to hear about your grand daughter, how is she now, contract tracing might explain how she caught it

It is up to each individual to act caring, sensibly and respectfully to themselves and others as we are all in this together, take care all and be careful

Thank you, strange way of dealing with it in the 6 counties,no real push for social distancing at all,she's confined to her room, awkward as she's 5 other siblings and mom in the house, with no school or work for the others, it must be a nightmare,
daughter is raising 6 on her own and working, so hope this doesn't spread, street parties all over Derry city lately, utter madness, whereas down here most are copped on- thanks

Bouncy Castle Company in Cork has decided to unilaterally reopen itself for business from today.

Simon Harris was asked if a bouncy castle business can open more than likely due to this. He said the answer is no. Wonder what penalties they'll face if they drive on.

Yeah we're looking for trouble ,need to keep up the safety measures for only a little while more before restrictions are lifted, but coming down the road if we don't, could be a more stringent lockdown, country will be broken if silly people percivere with the stupid stuff, bouncy castles need to be bloody avoied I suggest

What's the story about seeing a doctor? I rang my local surgery, needed blood tests to keep on top of a condition. No one there at all and it's a medical centre. I know someone in Kerry who had no problem having a blood test last week ( taking all precautions obviously). Has anyone been able to visit their doc for this?

I'd no sweat seeing mine,no bloods taken though, if I was you and really worried and unable to see your own doc, I'd attend A and E

It must be exhausting doing so much judging and putting everyone in a negative box.

Growing up in Cork, scumbags/scrotes/skangers/scobies were called whackers. Somewhere along the way this word was assimilated by the word knacker which had a very different meaning.
Whackers began to be called knackers.

So what happened the word whacker?

Ah, on another thread I mixed up skanger and whacker. Whackers were cork scum.
I'm shocked

Dude...you are searching other threads to get back at people yet you have not bothered to address the rule breaking you yourself have mentioned on this thread. You personally broke at least 2 of the restrictions and possibly a third depending if 2 hours in a park is classed as a brief visit for exercise or not.

There are a lot more than norries/skangers/teenagers "breaking the rules".

All the government really hope for, and could expect, was roughly 80% compliance. You are NEVER going to get 100%. People do silly things and the more that do, the more others will copy them. Its human nature unfortunately and that is why people should be constantly reminded of their behaviour but not berated for breaches. The push back will get stronger if it turns into a nanny state type scenario with draconian punishments. Encouragement works better.

How are tennis clubs and golf courses essential to be open in phase 1?

No body said they are essential. They are just easier to manage social distance wise. Golf especially. And no, I don't play golf so I don't particularly care if it opens or not personally.
It is all about a gradual reopening.

Not essential to have take aways open either but gotta find a balance between lives and economy. You can't just let economy completely collapse indefinitely as that will cause bigger problems...God that sounds like Trump.

That's irrelevant really (and untrue), they're low risk sports and have been selected as suitable to restart in phase one.

Fishing is similar, very safe to have a group of 10 or more meet up along a beach and fish away, social distancing is necessary anyway because it's usually 10m apart to stop lines crossing. Fishing a lake from the shore would be similar.
The only real danger is the travel to and from the venue, which is why it still needs to be within your 5km radius.
People need to get out of the house for some air and normality. Opening the safer sports like this is a start, baby steps are needed.

It is also a lot more than just golf and tennis. They are probably the most popular so get the headlines but the full list is:

It is now possible to participate in a range of sporting activities in groups of no more than 4 people within 5 kilometres of the households of those involved.

Social distancing should be maintained at all times.
The range of sports which can resume is as follows:

golf
pitch and putt
tennis
equestrian sport (not in indoor arenas)
athletics (clubs in outdoor track setting)
cycling
triathlon
orienteering
bowls
angling
open water swimming
sailing
rowing
canoeing
hillwalking
