IF YOUR TRAVELING MORE THAN 5KM, ITS FINE TIME AND YOU GET TURNED AROUND"
Not necessarily if you live 10km from your local supermarket you can travel there no problem.. You can also visit a grave anywhere in the country too.. |

Report from the papers today that a new regulation is being issued to give Gardai the powers to send NI cars and their drivers back across the border as legally they can only advise at present.
There's checkpoints in a lot of provincial towns....I was stopped 4 times in Carlow town last week alone |

All these legeslations should had been in place and enforced in the first lockdown. People are fucking stupid and dont care. Should all be charged and get criminal records for breaches. Only way it matters if it affects people getting jobs or travelling to certain countries. |

I love the way our government spin everything to have us think they are doing everything to stop covid spreading. The army were on ALL BORDER CROSSINGS when foot and mouth threatened the beef trade but its OK for people to enter and spread covid. Unbelievable |

The excuse the gov were using that being part of the European union we could not stop the free movement if citizens
As of midnight fri Germany has put a ban on irish people entering their country along with English,Portugese, Brazilians and South Africans so much for allowing free movement of europeans within Europe.
Sending non essential travellers back at the boarders is going to have to happen each and every lockdown has being preceded by mass travel into the country
Lockdown 1 travel from skiing resorts in italy
Lockdown 2 midterm break travel
Lockdown 3 returning migrants for christmas
This gov need to stop flapping around and get real about saving lives

Lockdown one pissed me off big time
Italy were playing in Dublin for the six nations and the match was cancelled
However they allowed the supporters to travel and The script were playing a few nights in 3Arena and a huge amount of Italian supporters were at each night since it was a hometown gig for the band
First time I ever felt the fear of catching an unknown something while dealing with them |

Time the irish people stood up and demanded their representatives start doing their jobs and represent them
Take five mins to e-mail. Comment on their twitter or face bake acc of your TD to lock down the borders and bring this country back to where we should be an open society with a thriving local economy where incidence of covid is similar to Aus ans new Zealand

And all the horsey people hopped over to Cheltenham for four days. The government have made a complete hash of containment. |

It's a pity that people can't actually take personal responsibility and actually just cop the hell on. But no it's easier to pass on the blame to government etc and have excuses why the simple guidelines were something they didn't need to do. |

Personal responsibility is required but All foreign travel should have been cancelled except for essential logistics |

well the department of agri can trace all cattle..they know where every cow is..they are all tested every year by the vet..tes it has cost ireland hundreds of millions of euros over the years to test and trace cattle..and now the government and healthbord are shouting about traceability and vaxinations for the people of ireland..maybe they should get the dept of agri to do it for them.. |

Back in the day of foot and mouth people were still allowed cross the border as long as they disinfected their vehicles and themselves...it was only cattle that were stopped...a fairly easy thing to do on main roads
There's no way they can close the border to peoole
It's too political a decision and it's too intertwined with some people's lives

Proof of vaccination will probably be a pre condition for international travel so traceability will be essential and attached to passports.
The world has changed  |

Does really matter if u have the vaccine or not as you still can carry the virus. Travel wont happen until I'd say until 90 percent of populations are vaccinated |

No one had to disinfect themselves at the border when there was foot and mouth.. Remember it well just had to drive the wheels of whatever vehicle you were in through disinfectant that was it.. It was a piece of piss and a big deal made about nothing when you compare to covid.. |

This makes total sense, The reason COVID is spreading is because we the Irish did not take responcability for our behaviour, some did others ignored all health advice, pubs and restaurants screamed to be left open, see what happened to help the pandemic spread, People had house parties, people still going on holidays, think back to the racegores who went to cheltinham and ignored all health advice as not to travel, alot of this is self inflicted, if you look at some profiles on here, people are still looking to meet, this all adds up to selfish acts of stupidy by selfish people, closing borders wont stop stupid people being stupid, behaviour will. |
