I have cancelled the trip now.

Common sense has prevailed.

I was just so disappointed. I have obeyed all the guidelines since March and missed out on two trips abroad since then (one work and one pleasure). I was really looking forward to the staycation after a few hard months.

Going to try and rebook for another date.

Fair play to you. I really hope your get your holiday soon.

Look, without sanctions like fines those who are the rebels will continue to do what they want. Isn't that correct?

Is it down to people doing what they want? Or is it down to people working and living in poor cramped conditions?

"If Larry Goodman owed a few pubs, we'd be down in Moe's on beer for the last few weeks"

Idioteque

GRA rep on the 9pm news just now was asked "are you ready to put checkpoints in place now?"

GRA rep "well we haven't received any official instruction yet"

Just watching the City/Madrid game here - a lot more people in close quarters watching the local Under 12 GAA games here at the weekends, mad world.

Laois has replaced USA, Mexico and Brazil as the epicentre of the virus. I wouldn’t be surprised if this thing originated from there. One time I had to drive through rathdowney few years ago and I seen a good few wild looking men eating raw pangolin.

We'll deal with it , continue being as safe as possible, same as we have been doing since March , actually haven't left the county since March anyway!

No probs! A one way ticket to the bend!

Ive been out of the county 4 times since June 29th for purely social reasons. I've seen more of the fooking county since the original lockdown than I ever saw. I was planning a few business trips for a new project. But if checkpoints are in place, what's the point. We are where we are. I've already lost enough, that these two weeks and beyond? I hope its worth it. As for the full reopening of schools????:D

What happens if half your house is in Laois and half your house is in Carlow? If you step foot in the Laois half, are you not allowed back into the Carlow half?

I am nearly in that exact position, what to do:) nearest neighbour is carlow

Let's be honest, 2 weeks is not a long time in the Covid world. Its likely to be a month of restrictions.

yeah the 2 weeks is just the thin end of the wedge. When 10 days of it are gone they'll announce a further 2 weeks either because numbers havent gone down or just to be safe and collect a further two weeks data. Its going to be minimum a month IMO and could easily turn into 6 weeks as well.

I suspect we will learn in the coming days of increases in community transmission. Close contact tracing and testing of asymptotic patients is now underway in the affected communities. It will highlight that community transmission is occurring.

Not been all bad in laois.

Still in the football and hurling all Ireland’s in August.

I don't live in those counties but I know a family near me who's house straddles two parishes. Both parishes are big GAA rivals.
This family very strongly identify with one parish and would slag people in the other parish (my parish).
I made the point to the man once that actually half your house is in X parish so you're actually half X.
He wasn't having any of it and told me their bathroom is in X part of the house so he gladly takes a sh*t in X everyday.

Also probably correct.

But lads is continued transmission just not inevitable at least to some degree. We know exactly who the vulnerable are, is locking the wider community down the only way of protecting them

hmmm

We'll know in 2 weeks if there has been spread the contact tracers haven't found. If numbers don't spike, they'll be able to lift the restrictions.

The problem at the moment is that we don't know, and there may be people who have the virus now and won't know it themselves until next week.

Agreed, minimum is two weeks with a few more counties thrown in. No way this lockdown will be eased before the schools go back, same can be said for pubs, no way will they reopen on the same day schools go back

They have been harping on about the app and contact tracing but partially close 3 counties. Surely if contact tracing was as good as they claim it is they could have locked down smaller pockets?

100% agreed, there is no possible way pubs can open at the same time as schools, because of there's a spike in cases both will blame each other.

However there is the theory that if schools do become responsible for a spike in cases, it's better to open the pubs at the same time and use them as a sacrificial lamb citing the pubs as the reason for spikes, even if they are not.
