    That's a huge increase for Ongar.
    320 per 100K is near Donegal level of cases.

    Ongar does seem to go up just before anywhere else does, I wonder do we have a lot of nursing staff from Connelly hospital.

    You've hit the nail on the head

    Its fairly bad alright.
    If you look at all the LEA in Dublin, the highest rate of cases are in the wealthiest areas. The well to do like to socialise a lot.

    Howth, Malahide, Rathmines, Castleknock...

    We've cracked it lads, Ongar has dropped off the top of our LEA list, that's always a sign it's about to start going down again.

    Malahide is riddled all right. One bar in particular seeing aload of cases.

    I don't think the figures are all released at the same time so I wouldn't read too much into it.

    But it's interesting how people spin it. One minute it's high because hospital workers, school workers, bit but not everyone in the pub etc. The next it's wine bars and high end restaurants and no hospital workers, or people in schools.

    However in a hospital you will have people on every range of salary from the lowest poorly paid to some of the highest. So from all areas.

    Be better if people fixed the problem instead of the blame.

    Does anyone know where theres a map showing the 3 jurisdictions being included in each of the D15 designations? I.e Ongar isn't 'that' big an area, but does it for the purposes of this (As I assume it must) include the adjoining areas of clonsilla, littlepace etc.

    Currently HSE confirmed cases in West Dublin are standing at 74 per 100k of population which is very high, and there's now two schools with confirmed cases in Dublin 15. We need to stay extra careful with masks and handwashing, and keep vulnerable family and neighbours in mind.

    There's also a bit of a cold doing the rounds in some primary schools too, which is mostly sniffles and sneezes, and not a big concern. It'll be good for parents in the area to be aware of both and when to stay home/call GP.

    Stay safe :)

    If masks hand washing etc worked why are cases going up? It doesn't work of course. We are on our 3rd lockdown after the first 2 didn't work either. No vaccine is going to be 100% effective nor is the rollout nor the take up of the virus going to be enough to prevent the spread or the mutation of the virus year on year.
    We are never going to achieve zero cases or deaths.
    This virus is endemic - here to stay.
    We cannot wear masks distance and lockdown for the rest of our lives.

    The COVID data hub (from which I presume most people are extracting these figures, certainly any time I posted them I sourced them from it) literally has the LEA boundaries drawn on the map. Ongar looks to include parts of Clonsilla, largely those west of the Clonsilla Link Road and north of the Clonsilla Road (with the remainder of Clonsilla being in the Castleknock LEA), e.g. Mount Symon, Portersgate, Aldemere/Windemere. Littlepace, Hartstown, etc. are all in the Ongar LEA too.

    Given that these are electoral areas, I'm sure they're detailed elsewhere too as an original/master source.

    Super, appreciate that.

    Edit.
    Just had a look and the adjoining areas included in with Ongar itself are significant enough, Hartstown, Huntstown & Clonsilla all included in it in reality.
    Thanks again.

    That's a very odd take on things.

    You omitted to mention that the highest rate at the moment is in Tallaght Central, with Firhouse not far behind. Clondalkin has a higher rate than Castleknock. Rathmines is in the same LEA as Crumlin and Kimmage so I don't know how you can tell that it's the rich folk who are behind this.

    At this point it's everywhere. People making stuff up to score points on the Internet would seem to be pointless.

    Maps are on Fingal Co Co website. The new LEA of Blanchardstown Mulhuddart starts on one side of Blanchardstown Main Street and goes all the way to Charlestown.

    Masks and handwashing would work, if people did them properly. I still see multiple people handling 'dirty' masks, wearing them incorrectly, touching outside of mask repeatedly, not using hand sanitiser entering/exiting shops, standing too close in queues, exceeding numbers allowed in shops ... ridiculous stuff given we've had to live with this for nearly a year!

    I really think, to open up the economy, we need enforcement officers (like traffic wardens) going around businesses and shops etc. slapping fines on the owners, everytime they see a violation of the rules. Too many people ... a fine. Not wearing/incorrectly wearing mask ... a fine. That would sort things out in no time. No accountability = no enforcement. Short term pain, but long term win for businesses, as they could stay open.

    The website looks brutal on mobile, hard to find them. The good maps are gone too, left with this - linking from boundary commission as the Fingal one is in the consultations section

    I really dont understand people talking about this area is bad, that area is bad, what are the stats for my area etc. TReating it like it's some GAA competition where you want to see how your local team is doing.
    IMO it doesn't matter what amount of COVID is in your area, it's useless information. All it tells you is the address of a patient, it doesn't tell you where they picked up the virus or how it was transmitted to them.

    Is it a form of gossip, concerned interest for your fellow man, or maybe it's a form of doomscrolling or something, I dont know. What am I missing folks? Why is this thread here at all, what makes you post here, genuinely trying to figure it out?

    I think knowing if your direct area has a high or low number of cases is very important, and I don't see the "competition" thing you're referencing at all. The local area is where people spend their time so it's good to know the trends.

    Its no different watching or listening to the news.

    I think it raise peoples awareness and hopefully they are more circumspect as a result.

    Like Beauf said, it's a way of keeping up with what's happening in your local area. I don't see this thread being any different to the neighbourhood watch thread, for example - unfortunately the pandemic is still a fairly significant ongoing event, so for me looking at it from a local perspective is important. I do want to know how my local area is "doing", but it's not a competition.

    The stats for each electoral area for the entire country are updated on Thursdays, and I'd check the stats for D15 - but since Rameire has been kind enough to post them here, I find this thread very useful.

    Out of curiosity does the Blanchardstown figures include Patients in Connolly Hospital?

    I would say so yes. It's also prudent to state that Blanchardstown/Mulhuddart has the highest number of cases in Dublin followed by Ballymun

    Blanch Mulhuddart has the 4th highest rate nationwide so still quite concerning for this area but yes it's good to see figures continuing their downward trend.
