    Garda commissioner requested the full powers this evening, discussed with attorney general and they'll be signed tonight.

    Gardai will now be able to force someone to return home and stay there. Failure to comply can now lead to arrest.

    Haven't seen a mention of fines. They've said they hope to use it sparingly

    Would like to see anyone who is being paid the covid emergency payment and breaks the rules have it removed. Should focus the minds a bit.

    I totally disagree, staying at home is hard if you are used to being up and about and moving. It might be easier if you’re used to lounging around. Most people I talk to are bored, fed up and a bit stressed being stuck at home with kids and nowhere to bring them to relieve the tedium, but obey the rules as they know they have to. We rightly should acknowledge that, and empathise with people rather than telling them to suck it up......

    It’s a pandemic you just have to suck it up, I wouldn’t be a lounger myself either but I make the day pass handy enough , plenty of jobs to be done, books to read , loads of online courses available free, plenty of things to pass the time incl the daily walk

    Ya kids are the root of all evil when you have to rare them luckily I escaped that part

    I really hate clichés but the Gaurds are between a rock and a hard place.
    They can't do any of those things.

    Section 30 offences against the state act covers them. Can stop and search if they suspect an offences has or will be committed.

    Easter weekend coming up. Can't credit some people with a bit of cop on and decency. Increased powers the right move, if for the fear value alone.

    Culchies around the country gone nuts. Maybe the Dubs should do the same and stop them heading back to work, their digs and so on. Dublin born only, think of the reduction on road congestion and public transport.

    Hopefully Gemma gets arrested for going outside the 2km radius to harass the Guards. although I'm guessing she'll now stay at home and encourage others, including her minions, Dee and the other one, to do her dirty work.

    Where's your proof of this? anyone I know, friends and family and all my neighbours are abiding by the rules and staying in. Streets and towns are deserted.

    I go to my local beach (yes it's within a 2km radius of me) for my walk and see very few people there. Your 40% figure doesn't stand up to what's happening around the country.

    It’s not the fact that people have to suck it up, it’s the fact that that needs to be recognised, it’s not easy for people to do. It’s not easy for older people to basically cut themselves off from the outside world. And attitudes like this of suck it up are exactly the type that will make people resent the restrictions even more, and perhaps make them more likely to try and break them. We have to look out for each other, and try to be caring rather than have a stuff you attitude.
