Airports still open?!?

Juicee

Random people from all over the world can come into this country via the airports, where is the outrage over the risk this poses to lives??

And yet if you go further than 2km from your house or go sit in a park not bothering anyone, you are a [pick from list of all sorts of vile expletives] who is putting lives at risk

If you have relatives over to your house (who, presumably, just like you, are isolating in their house and then going back to isolate at home after they leave your house) you are again, the scum of the earth who puts lives at risk and are yourself at risk of having the gards called on you by your neighbour, who is egged on by many (on forums etc), to do so!

This seeming lack of concern about the airports, coupled with hysterical outrage over people leaving their homes is cognitive dissonance and utter hypocrisy at its worst. In my opinion.

Are you concerned about airports at all yourself? Why do you want to stifle conversation on the issue???

Hi ya Gemma, check on Twitter, Dublin Airport already replied to you (and slayed)

Because its been shown by even the DAA that most planes arriving are cargo planes carrying vital equipment to keep the country alive.

A bit of investigation would have shown you that but you went straight in like a bull to a red flag.

So why don't they ban all but cargo planes?? You have no point here.

What about an Irish doctor returning from Australia to provide essential services here?
I want him/her here if that is ok with you.

What about scientists?

What about someone coming home to Ireland, who goes straight into a 14 days self isolation period?

Stop making drama when there is none there.

also, how do you feel about the random people from normal commercial flights coming into the country? Are they risking lives in the same way people going 2km fromo home are?

Have you any idea of the numbers of passengers coming in through airports, and their purpose of travel?

A few actual statistics would help bolster your argument (whatever that is), rather than vague hysterical generalisations.

What about the fact that theres no controls around any of that?? not concern you at all?? I mean if you are up in arms about >2km people, surely you should feel similar about uncontrolled air passengers entering the country???

That is a big jump, from airports being open to random people coming in.

Check DAA's thread on twitter. All your questions have been answered. The airport is practically EMPTY at the moment.

Simple fact as I said is its not controlled. Are you claiming theres no one coming in? What amount is acceptable to you, before you become as outraged as you (I assume) would about >2km people??

So can you tell me how many passengers came in, say in the last week, through airports?

I might be able to get outraged if I had some actual numbers to concentrate on. The vague hysteria, and questions-as- answers doesn't really do it for me, sorry.

Hysterical outrage about cargo flights and a few emergency travellers maybe coming to a funeral is hypocrisy at its worst.

Last week there were 2 people on a flight for New York and 4 on the return trip, the airport is effectively shut. Most are cargo flights, people see a 777 land and automatically assume its full of passengers but it’s not, please see DAA below.
