    An infectious diseases consultant has said it is "absolutely ridiculous" that people are even considering leaving their principal place of residence to go to a holiday home this weekend.

    Prof Paddy Mallon, who works at St Vincent's University Hospital in Dublin, said we are at a critical stage in the country in how we manage the Covid-19 pandemic and this weekend is "make or break".

    Speaking on RTÉ's Today with Sean O'Rourke, he described the decision to travel as "madness" and said he hopes the authorities come down "very heavily" on people who ignore the advice and put their countrymen in danger by travelling from an area where there is a lot of cases, to an area where there is a low number of cases and poorer health infrastructure.

    I know a nurse. She lives with her parents.

    She is working on the front line. She has dealt with coronavirus positive patients for more than a month now. She has accepted that more than likely she will get coronavirus.

    Her parents have gone to a borrowed holiday house 3 weeks ago so their front line daughter doesn't risk bringing coronavirus into their home.

    Her parents have been shouted at in a town when doing shopping to go back to Dublin.

    It's not helpful at all.

    Are they not providing accom for front line workers? If so, she should have taken that up and leave the parents stay where they are.
    For all we know the parents could have it.

    Not three weeks ago, they weren't.

    This nurses' parents left three weeks ago when they weren't restricted from travelling. If they had it, they would have had symptoms by now.

    The gardai are not telling people already in situ to return home. So if people are already there, they are there for the duration.

    I have been stoped by the Garda I was going to work I did not see anyone turned back.

    Has there be any evidence of many trying to ge to their holiday home after the second lot of restrictions. There are bound to be a few eejits who try it but is there evidence of it being a widespread issue.

    A lot of the news programs reporting 'locals say' in other words gossip.

    There is only one way to look at it.
    They went to a place where they could self-isolate to protect themselves.
    So they isolate for required time and its done.
    This is what HSE and WHO are advising...

    I think i put this in wrong place it response to person about nurse parents.

    That person is A: needlessly gone to multiple supermarkets and for a drive to look at dozens of holiday homes to verify, B: heard this from other people i.e. rumour, or C: making it up or greatly exaggerating.

    They are now. They weren't 3 weeks ago. I don't think they are allowed back to Dublin now?

    Given that the parents haven't had symptoms after 3 weeks theres no evidence that they could have it.

    Some lunatics in Kilkee co Clare have threatened holiday home owners that

    They may not have a Holiday home to go to next summer.

    (See Limerick Leader news)

    These are in a town with no industry except tourism.

    Also I am sure that these individuals do not stay in Kilkee 24/7 but travel to Kilrush/Ennis or even Limerick for shopping etc thus likely to bring the virus in themselves.

    Hi all.
    Does a holiday home in West Kerry count as a home address if the guards ask?

    Things are starting to take a sinister turn unfortunately.

    My parents have a second home in a rural village in Co Donegal, its only a small cottage and not in one of the big tourist spots.
    They have been up here since the beginning of March well before any lockdown measures. They are both in there mid 70's and decided to cocoon in that cottage. It means that I can help check on them and bring them shopping as I also live in Donegal with my family, they would not have anyone to help bring them these things at there primary home and would probably have to go out and get the shopping themselves.

    Now they are wondering if they should leave with what is being said now.
    I would much rather they stay as its much safer and I can help keep an eye on them.

    Folks its simple,stay at home,stay safe,and have respect for people,you can not blame folk for freaking out with people hitting there "2nd homes".i think some folk do not take onboard how serious this is,and how close we are to it been out of control,look at cavan hospital for an example,when that starts happening we start to realy struggle,get the BBQs out folks,get a few beers in,and if the weather allows sit out the back garden and enjoy,but stay put..stay safe folks

    Once it's not a bong. That might lead to other complications.

    Gardaí said the other day, if you’ve gone to your holiday home then stay there until this is all over- your parents have done nothing wrong- and seen as they are elderly locals won’t care or think that they’re flouting rules- and considering they’ve been there since March and cocooning there’s even less to worry about

    But it's not your home, is it?

    And if you're not there already, the question is a bit irrelevant, no?

    Just tell the Garda to mind their own business, you're a rebel and no law applies to you. Go you.

    What address is on your driving licence? Is your car registered to that address?

    These are 2 things a Garda can easily check
