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".

Is it you or that bigoted beaut above using these stereotypes & judging half this city ?

What? I am only judging one person here. The one who judging others while also obliviously posting his own violations in this thread. I think you messed up the quote above.

Vodafone and Carphone warehouse meant to be open in Mahon Point Shopping Centre.

How is this allowed, i thought it was pretty clear general retail in enclosed shopping centres was not allowed till final phase.

Shops selling "technology" and household appliances are allowed open. Harvey Norman is open also. Not selling furniture etc though AFAIK.

Again from gov.ie:

List of retailers that can open on 18 May
hardware stores
builders merchants and those providing essential supplies and tools for gardening
farming and agriculture; garden centres and farmers markets
Opticians/Optometrists/Outlets providing hearing test services, selling hearing aids and appliances
retailers involved in the sale, supply and repair of motor vehicles, motorcycles and bicycles and related facilities (for example, tyre sales and repairs)
office products and services; electrical, IT and phone sales, repair and maintenance services for home. This does not include homeware stores

I think that rule is limited to "all other non-essential retail outlets" that can reopen in phase 3. Chemists, post offices etc have been operating in shopping centers all along.

Fota wild life park re opening for visitors wednesday...no mention of the 5km rule....how the hell is this allowed

To be fair its fairly easy to social distance in there. You can't just walk up and pay either, you have to prebook your slot to avoid queueing at the entrance.


But yes, shouldn't be going unless its in your 5k but many at work choosing to ignore that to make a Fota trip with the kids.

Would be easy enough for Fota to ask for an address at booking and with a quick check on google maps just decline anyone outside of 5km.

Wouldn't catch all, but a lot wouldn't think twice about giving heir real address as part of booking.

They've been pretty clear on the 5km to be fair:

Looking forward to going there at the weekend.

My kids are out in the little green outside my house on a picnic blanket, sitting over 2m away from another families kids, all laughing and joking and having a disco with a little speaker. They get up every now and then and cycle up and down the road, but in different groups from the same household, then back to the picnic blankets. There's 7 kids in total and if you drove passed you wouldn't realise it but every rule is being adhered to, properly. I'm sitting in my car watching them/supervising and they've all been warned that they don't get a second chance with anything, one break if a rule and they're back inside. That's been agreed between the houses.
It's actually lovely to see them with smiles on their faces.

That's grand and what we're meant to do . I'm talking about groups right on top of each other. Hopefully it'll be ok and won't cause any significant increase . I get that teenagers must be so sick of it and kids too. Am just a bit worried about potential impact if this is happening all the country.

city v busy today - English Market was extremely so

Traders aren't happy with the councils plans to introduce one way streets for pedestrians on Careys Lane and French Church St.

People have been shouting at the council for weeks about this happening when we try and reopen. Instead we'd a bunch of fools saying "sure look there's feck all people in town right now" back then. Pat O Connell of the English Market Traders Assoc. dismissing the solutions as "green issues" we didn't have time for a few weeks ago.

Tobin Street, French Church Street and Carey’s Lane

Thought for a second the council were proposing pedestrianising these streets, wouldn't put it past them.

How do you make one way pedestrian streets? Sounds ridiculous

I honestly think they are kicking themselves for placing the meaningless 'pedestrian priority' signs up on North Main St and Cornmarket St by the Raven and the Roundy before COVID.

They would be perfect solution for the council who are looking for ways to not do anything while making it look like they are.

Some of the mobile repairs shops that are open may do some photocopying ?

Why?

Looks like one half the crowd in Carrigaline park are teenagers and the other half is made up of people going down so they can say they saw the teenagers.

It's almost as if some people are out on patrol to see where they can spot people not socially distancing.

Exactly.
There's nothing open. You can't even get to the National Park without your own transport.

I'm not sure. Good idea though. I'm sure they would help.

I got it sorted anyway, met my dad, keeping the 2M. He has a printer/copier at home. But this could be seen as essential maybe?
