Dublin restrictions Megathread

DebDynamite

One of the residents of Oliver Bond was on the news on the radio today saying over 20 residents started calling the guards from 7pm when the gazebo was being erected. They drove in about 5 times throughout the evening before they shut the party down. They said they’d be back but they never came back, so the party continued until 6pm.

The next morning they collected 23 bags of rubbish incl broken glass and found bags of heroin and cocaine, and we’ve all seen the laughing gas canisters on the ground also in all the pics.

Heard one resident on Radio say the same, except they did close it down around midnight but it started up again after they left

Shut the off licences, that'll stop the house parties and raves.

Yeah, my post says they shut it down.

Absolute disgrace, the whole thing.

They should make it illegal. Like the drugs which are so readily available already at said raves. If its on paper guaranteed to be effective in practice.

Sure they were all on laughing gas, heroin and cocaine, according to reports! A good few yokes were doing the rounds too, i’d Imagine. No drink needed.

Yeah because when the cocaine and heroin shops closed no one ever got them again. :rolleyes:

Destroying our economy even more for something that won't affect 99% of the population.

Someone on radio saying the market at Dun Laoire and Marley Park were packed yesterday with lots not wearing masks and not social distancing.
It's all over the postcodes not just that shower of ass*oles at the flats.

Masks are not required at outdoor markets, are they?
I agree that social distancing should be observed.

There’s a fair bit of snobbery and holy than thou m-ology involved in Covid mania for sure.
The working classes generally dont care what the neighbours think usually so don’t feel the real need for the painful fake virtue signalling we see elsewhere

I think you're more likely to get middle class people at Marley and dun Laoghaire markets. Genuinely I don't think you're required to wear a mask at an outdoor market in a public park.

The easiest thing for the Government to do is make mask compulsory where there are numbers of people, it makes no sense not to.
As well as that the people who do not adhere will be exposed to their peers...

How do you define "numbers of people" in law and in the outdoors!
It would appear that you are 10X times less likely to catch Covid 19 in an outdoor setting as opposed to indoors in a poorly ventilated area.

Mask compliance indoors in Ireland is quite good. I would hate to be made to wear masks outdoors!

In Spain, prior to making mask wearing mandatory in all outdoor settings, the rule was if you can’t practice safe social distancing of 1.5m outdoors then you had to wear a mask

So basically city centres, markets etc people just wore them. (Otherwise a fine from the cops)

Most places in Europe have had varying regional restrictions.

Red Alert

Is the travel restriction into/out of Dublin advisory or legally enforceable in Level 3?

LawBoy2018

Hi guys, any predictions as to whether the lockdown will last longer than 3 weeks? I've seen tweets from Simon Harris saying that the lockdown measures normally take 2 weeks to actually affect the daily figures.

Dublin, exponential growth wise, is absolutely fúcked right?

More chance of being at level 4 in 3 weeks than having restrictions lifted the way numbers are going and people’s inability to behave.

I suspect it will be more like 6 weeks than 3 weeks.

But it's grand because once that particular restriction is lifted the virus will be gone.

Or

It'll be a short hop, skip and a jump until the next lockdown.

Short breaks between lockdowns is the plan. Sure we might be let out for Christmas if we're good boys and girls.

3 weeks ago Scotland applied restrictions on the Glasgow and Clyde region. Similar enough demographics to ourselves.
They had about 65 cases on the day they were imposed.

The restrictions are like a mix of our level 3 and 4. Stricter household restrictions, but pubs open.

The region had over 180 cases today.

According to the Irish Times:
these measures are advisory rather than enforceable under law.

This is a legal penalty specific to level three and above:
Anyone organising a gathering away from a home setting that breaches the maximum numbers allowed at such gatherings is subject to enforcement and could be fined up to €2,500 or jailed for up to six months on conviction. It is not an offence to attend such a gathering, but it is an offence to host or organise one.

Well I think during Phase 1 back in spring there were legal penalties to the 5km\own county travel restrictions.
But not for the recent Midlands event and now Dublin Level 3.

That was barely enforced

Why bother if we need a "miracle." Wreckless language from ministers.

“It is looking very doubtful Dublin will emerge. It would take a miracle when you look where the numbers are and, more alarmingly, where they are going,” said one senior minister.

Although I'm skeptical of this doom and gloom reporting. They didn't even name who said it. Poor journalism but if true and a minister said that, It's wreckless.
