What powers do we currently have to enforce lockdown / restriction of people?
Does legislation need to be passed?
Just wondering on how Ireland and our government would introduce a 'state of emergency' if required.

Hope it's not a typical Irish case of it being raised but having to jump through many hoops first!

You have no proof of that.
While I think there will be a gradual shutdown you cant answer some out out straight saying yes starting from wednesday when that isn't the case.

Theres a national meeting as planned tomorrow, no decisions taken until during that meeting.

While I think we'll see more restrictions theres nothing set in stone yet

There's a meeting this morning. I'd hope it's announced today rather than tomorrow to give the people who didn't stock up on essentials a chance. Maybe they'll leave it until tomorrow so no panic buying can occur

I'd imagine this would be a "headshop closure" type thing where it's pushed through immediately.

Yes, they believe protecting wealth is more important than their old people's health.

From an RTE news report on a tweet from The Taoish...

"The Taoiseach has said the Government may seek enforcement powers to ensure that the ban on no indoor mass gatherings of more than 100 people applies to pubs and clubs."

He MAY impose the 100 person ban. FFS... alcohol and rules/common sense are not areas that can be left to personal decision. It is not possible to manage a rabble by filtering them into pubs 100 at a time.

Then you have to consider, how big is the space, do they all stay 2 meters apart and shout to each other for the night, what's the recommendation for how many drunk people should pile into a taxi or onto a bus to get home?

Give us all a break and a chance and close them down.... today.

It also the symptoms of a sore neck!

Honestly some people just can't help but come out with absolute sh!te talk:rolleyes:

They are the symptoms of meningitis. The poster just said seek medical advice, they didn't say the person had it. Good advice I would have thought.

Every Briton over the age of 70 will be told "within the coming weeks" to stay at home for an extended period to shield them from coronavirus Health Secretary Matt Hancock says.

Coming WEEKS? What planet is this country actually on.

It's ok to go to the beach. Risk is very low outdoors and it's very very easy to keep your distance from people on a large open space like a beach

This was Carcavelos this week after the schools were closed

Nope not giving it. You might know this afternoon with everyone else once the meeting with government finishes.

Cop on, you haven't a clue. Stop looking for attention. I'm nearly sorry I've responded. It might well happen but you don't know when and how more than any of the rest of us

no mention on stopping offices with more than a 100 staff opening?

Probably for some of the following reasons

Easier to practise social distancing in offices.

A lot of offices are getting staff to work from home.

Unlikely that people in offices will be kissing each other.

Unlikely that people in offices will be drunk,therefore more likely to partake in stupid activity.

Unlikely that people in offices will be singing "touching me,touching you "

...fingers tired so someone else can do the rest

No mention of it on rte website. Cars in the pictures are 181. Hire car companies don't have 181 cars in 201.

Are you not giving it because you don't want to compromise someone who leaked the info? Or is it because you think people might scoff?

Out and about in fresh air is fine, just be aware of your surroundings and interactions. Plenty plenty places to go that are wide and open and full of clean and feee space. Beach now for us!

Yes, make the most of fresh air. Lanzarote in lockdown. No one allowed out to walk at all. If you have dog a short brisk walk alone, 3m from others. No beach, only one person in car unless URGENT or for work. Only essential shops open. No restaurants or bars. Ghost town

There’s probably old legislation on the books from the “troubles” or even back to the civil war, the “emergency” or some such. Anyway, I wouldn’t be pissing off the guards in a national crisis, it wouldn’t go well

If you presented to me i'd tell you to seek medical advice and it is a symptom its not ****e talk. More importantly why on earth would you ask on here , ask a doctor if you are worried. The world and their granny thinks every ache is corona virus now. All I did is tell him to seek medical advice that it is a symptom of something else not that it is that ? Some people are so hostile on here no need for it at all.

Thats what you get for trying to help.

Yea I'm looking for attention. Of course some people know more than others, it's why some of us pay membership fees to national organisations, your obviously not a paid up member or you'd know the source.

I expect posts to turn from the theoretical to the practical in the coming weeks. Strange how no regular posters have been diagnosed. I don't know anyone yet who has been diagnosed.

I bet a chance of getting infected in an open air on a beach is a way lower than sitting in a pub or other closed areas.
