    Let's hope the virus realises it's unworkable too.

    Why ? The WHO are recommending one metre distance , my guess is NPHET will soon follow when the economy can’t handle two metres .

    Hmmm. Wait until borrowing levels and costs rise. We’ll see how vital it is then.

    Yes even the slow pace that man speaks irritates me. Gives a veneer of calm considered reflection but in reality he’s a risk averse ditherer sadly more or less deciding National policy. We’re quick to look down our nose at other non functioning democracies here like Hungary but at the current point and time are we much better? Do we have a fully functioning accountable government? Do we fcuk

    As far as the virus spreading itself goes, it doesn't matter a damn what the economy can cope with; it's what the virus can make use of. Either two metres was medically necessary or it wasn't. The consequences for the economy don't change that. I've no doubt that a lot of people would be happier with 1 metre...1 foot even, but in terms of controlling spread it's about the medically safe distance, not the economic safe distance. This has the ring of unacceptable consequence fallacy about it.

    People are not going to comply and the Guards are not going to enforce it simple.

    Donohoe seems to think he’s some kind of UN observer status in the DofF rather than someone in the driving seat. It’ll be all on him come next autumn if he’s still there (I can’t see many takers for the job) when the cuts to public expenditure become real.

    What is any different bar some selected businesses opened this week exactly? I can live without an hour queuing into Woodies funnily enough.
    You must be watching too much Rte. Far as I’m concerned this is still full on lockdown and paralysis of our economy. If FG want to completely strangle it to death then continue forth with your threats but the price is going to be massive- welfare cuts, public sector wage cuts, all manner of cuts to public services.

    What are you going to do in a few months when restrictions are all lifted and you have to interact with people in real life again?

    Wait did you not spend the last week or so declaring the lockdown was over and things were going back to normal regardless of rules?


    Hell that was the line a lot of the "economists" here were spouting.

    So if thats true then why so much tears over there being a lockdown/economy in ruins. Ye are totally contradicting yourselves at this stage its tragic. Get it together!

    Which is it. Is everyone ignoring restrictions and back to normal or is the lockdown still in effect?

    If the lockdown is void why so much whinge over a finished lockdown?


    Do ye even know what ye are upset about by now?

    I would say the Irish population have done a pretty decent job so far of what they have been asked to do. The proof is in the numbers.

    Of course there will be an increase - however we have significantly reduced the risk of our health system becoming overwhelmed.

    It must be a terrible life to live having that sort of negative outlook towards your fellow country folk.

    Looking down on Irish people seems weirdly common on this forum
