    There are gossips that the full lockdown will be imposed to Ireland tomorrow to flatten the curve.

    I'd be surprised if they ever fully lock down again, the economy would never recover, but I can see more Localised lockdowns and I think after that shambolic behaviour at the Berlin on Dame Street Saturday, no food pubs won't be opening soon and there maybe restrictions put on those already open. It's a mess whatever way we look at it

    Is maith an scáthán súil charad.

    Live in south kildare. Drove to Dublin on Friday to pick the girlfriend up for a weekend in Athlone and didnt come across one check point on the way up. Same on the way back. Came back through Tullamore and Portarlington. No check points coming back. These local lockdowns in Kildare/ Laois/Offaly are a load of boll$x

    As I’ve said before on here, it isn’t a lockdown at all. It’s just killing food pubs & restaurants. Killing them.

    I drove through Maynooth on Friday at 4pm - coincidentally I was coming back from Athlone after my 3rd visit to see my parents in 6 months. There was no sign of a lockdown of any sorts. The place was absolutely hopping. Every pub, cafe, restaurant was packed - appeared to me that the rules and guidelines were being pushed to the very limits. Then I see that there was 81 cases in Kildare on Saturday.

    Not that I witnessed, and I met someone there who had come from clare and all the guards could say is that they shouldnt have made the trip, but didn't turn them away.

    The approach the guards are taking is more of an educational one than an authoritarian one

    So what actual restrictions are being implemented in these counties,Are the restaurants/food pubs the only ones really suffering and everything else pretty much carrying on as normal?

    So financially speaking yet again it's the hospitality sector that have to bear the brunt of the hardship because of the failings of other sectors

    I'm not going to disagree.

    But large gatherings of people indoors for lengthy times is precisely how this virus will spread at its best. The hospitality sector was always gong to be the worse affected due to its nature.

    Really? Could have sworn I heard restrictions in place for 2 weeks?

    Even the HSE website saying restrictions in place from August 7th to August 21st!!

    Of course,but the establishments who can open safely are being punished and everyone is being tarred with the one brush,I have went to 3 restaurants/bar pubs in the last week or so and all have tables well spread out and all staff wearing masks,Yet these businesses suffer due to incompetence in other sectors

    Looks like the 16 days has been a sneaky revision from the government. FFG making it up as they go along.

    I'm from offaly, and the general understanding here is that it's in place until monday 23rd...

    I stand to be corrected though

    I agree 100%

    They should at least be given the opportunity to open to prove they can comply with the measures.... And anyone not complying should be given a mandatory shut down period.
