Can't you imagine a situation where multi patient transport services, such as those bringing immuno compromised patients to critical appointments (such as chemo, dialysis), would be stood down because of the significant risk involved? Single patient transport will be needed,if not already. State services need fleets to do this, along with delivering other critical services.

This might seem silly now but I think lots of people are unsure of what they are meant to do.
Examples would be,
Can people pop out for the newspaper still or is this considered unnecessary.
What about going out for a meal where diners are seated a good distance apart. Is this allowed or not.Same with nipping out for take-aways.
Same with generally shopping trip. Is it okay for people to pop out a few times a week ot should people do one big shop.
Some people are of the attitude we've all to be locked up for the next two weeks and others are like you cam do somethings once your careful.

Now some people are doing silly things and they know it but some people are a tad confused and reading posts online won't make much of a difference.

Theres a GP on Instagram called Dr Doireann O Leary, shes fantastic with the facts

Why isn't the HSE running round the clock adverts on tv, online, on roadside billboards about washing hands, self isolating, social isolating?

Totally, order every broadcaster to play a 30 second add outlining directions/dos and don’t.... first add AND last add during breaks... tattoo it into people’s brains, radio the same.

Why the change I wonder. It wasn't like they had some grand announcement today. It was a well done update in fairness to the two drs but I don't see why they changed plans.

Loads of people saying pubs are going to close and we are going into lockdown but I just don't know.

There closed Tuesday, not sure if just for the day or for 2 weeks. Garda have hired a load of 7 seaters to take us home Monday night...that might sound like a pisstake but it's not.

2 with Aviva and one with axa, if your with any of the big ones even through a broker it's probably in your policy, heard it's not in the royal sun alliance one.

Thanks for the reply. I'm with Aviva and was trying to read through the small print and also trying to google it.

I presume cover only kicks in if it's a government enforced closure?

If it were I've gross profits cover which would enable me to continue to pay staff their full wage.

The more I think of Leo sitting there with Trump and the pot of shamrocks the more I realise that has to be one of the most time deaf, most ridiculous decisions of any state leader. With the week we’ve had and the benefit of hindsight I hope he is monumentally embarrassed. He should actually apologise for being such a wally

Don't have a huge issue with leo heading over. Coveney is doing a great job and its probably better to let him at it.

They rented 200 odd vehicles from hire companies to cope with the shortage, the "Diesel" note on the fuel filler foor should have been taken off

Agree on that Coveney is far superior and seems to be more engaging

I think everyone needs a boot up the arse! I have a 74yr old mother in law that thinks it's ok to go about her daily routine, maybe it'd be a good thing for the government to express how dangerous it is to that age group. With no internet only daily news they dont understand how harmful it is!

It’s scary just how many need that boot up the arse... even my father this evening..

“I’m walking back from the chemist and met this French lad, looking for the Spar, he couldn’t understand the directions I’m giving him so I walked him around, nice fella, visiting his nephew”. Jesus man, point, smile and fûcking walk, AWAY ! :rolleyes:

Yea it's more than likely in your policy have a look around page 26/29 ish. Yea you can pay them full wage but you don't need to as there entitled to the dole so you can just top up that if you want, I'd pay it out once they come back to work. Not all might return so I'd say to them you'll cover the balance only when and if they return to work, that's the way I know a few places are doing it. It's what I'm going to do on legal advice.

I heard an ad on one of the radio stations today, don’t know which one and if it was a hse ad or just an ad/ advice from radio station. It was basically telling people to wash their hands for twenty seconds and then it played snippets of songs that were twenty seconds. One was dance monkey. I though it was good. kids in school were told to sing happy birthday to you to make up the twenty seconds while washing their hands.Good too I thought.

Are you talking about Louise O’Reilly?

She was an excellent Union representative, securing loads of concessions for her members, but that is exactly the wrong kind of person you want in control of the health service.

I though the G in Garda alway stayed straight on an uneven surface.

It did look good until it was zoomed in.

Fair enough good of them to announce it person. Shows some respect to it Had expected some change in tack (didn't know what, I just assumed from the conference).

The rented cars with the G on an uneven surface are probably for raiding the Clayton (Pearse st. I believe)again with lads in hazmats. It seems to have gotten away with it the last few days.
