And who's going to keep building places that cannot be open or utilised? Or people can't drawdown a mortgage to buy it? Or because their job is still shut down? I'm going to blunt here but- Take your head of your arse and wake the fcuk up please.

Yet more doomsday fear mongering.

The economy will be absolutely fine. Buzzing I'd say.

Take a chill pill.

Did you not get a chance to read the phased re-opening plan?

Where are you getting the idea that Ireland has no idea what decisions to make?

The problem with him and other people complaining on here is, A, they are part of the loony brigade ie waters, o Doherty, 5G new world order people

Or B, voted for change in the last election and very pissed off they didn't get what they wanted

Is their restrictions on construction, as in how far you can travel to work, for example I know lots of people who work on sites in Dublin but live in the west of the country

That's not non-essential travel so no reason they should be prevented from travelling. Won't workplaces give them letters/emails?

What places under construction will be completed before the next phases of re-opening start?

Sure don't bother building houses or offices as they won't be sold at the start of construction, that's how it works.

Perfectly logical I'm afraid to tell you. Come back to me over the coming months as the perma job losses stack up- i really wish it won't be the case but the longer this nonsense goes on the more severe it gets. Nothing can keep running on fresh air.

Yeah, I don't see a lot in there at all having much effect although some of the amenities being open is great news.

Yeah I've a local mountain walk that was closed so I'll be heading for there next week.

It's stuff like that that's going to wind people up. I can't go out to get a desk for myself to work from home, but fecking horse racing is important enough to push up through the stages.

If you choose to be wound-up! Pop into the local hardware shop, get the wood and build it!

Sounds like someone is suffering from lockdown fatigue

There are a good few little things being reopened, things that can make a difference to us.

Just read the child care scheme for frontline workers was axed.
The cynic is me can't help but think that sure, people will thank front line workers from safety but when it comes down to it and actually helping them (and putting yourself out there) then the reality comes out.

This 'nonsense' is saving lives and containing the spread of disease.

The world has changed.

I doubt we'll ever return to what we thought was normal.

All we can do is do our best to adapt.

The economy remains fundamentally strong with no underlying structural issues.

There is no reason the vast bulk of those receiving COVID payments wont be back at work in short order later in the year assuming another lock down is not needed.

That will come from the HSE. They have mentioned restarting a range of services soon but I don't know if there is a date for that yet.

You can buy a desk online, or am I missing something here?

not an argument for or against Horse Racing - but i keep seeing this "i need to buy xyz" its all online. It will take a little while but it will get there.
I also need a desk though, thanks for the reminder!

Hopefully we can move forward in 3 weeks time and not backward!

Construction going back is big boost.

The malcontents (the Gemma O'Dohertys and John Waters..), who care about no one but themselves, will be fuming but the vast majority accept the need for patience and caution.

Your usual trolling techniques didn’t work so now you’re resorting to name dropping the Krazy Gang? Pathetic.

I've heard that desks were hard to get online as everyone is working at home and ordered them.

The lack of “wanting to help” from childcare workers was not the reason this scheme was scrapped. It was very badly thought out with zero consultation with providers and between no insurance and the WRC wading in, it was pulled.

Retailers of office products are on that list too. Some may do furniture as well.
From the roadmap

Retail that is mainly outdoor + homeware,
opticians, motor, bicycle & repair,office products, electrical, IT, phone
sales & repair open. All subject to social distancing.

Can I buy a new bike on Monday? The place does repairs also.

There is this big meatball store in Ballymun which also sells a bit of furniture on the side - Can this open?

Nobody's forcing you to do anything except stare at the wall but there is a universe of possibilities out there for you if you choose.

If it's on the list it looks like it. Give them a call to check.
