“Treat this the same as every other weekend. Stay home, eat chocolate and next week we could be seeing good news.”
There were 365 new cases of the disease confirmed on Wednesday, bringing total cases past the 6,000 mark for the first time, to 6,074 known cases in the Republic. Fears of rising public complacency about the virus were echoed by gardaí who are monitoring more than 1,000 locations in the State including forest walks and beaches in the run-up to the Easter holidays to ensure compliance.
On Tuesday night Minister for Health Simon Harris signed regulations granting powers of enforcement to gardaí. The powers were included in the Health Act 2020 passed by the Oireachtas in late March but only became active with the Minister’s signature.
No because Cheltenham was Ireland's Cheltenham
Dr Mallon obviously thinks Irish people are stupid.
I sat in that traffic for 45 mins yesterday. That was after a very stressful day at work. I’m a nurse working in Dublin commuting from Monaghan every day! Volume of traffic unbelievable! These ppl need to take a good look at themselves ! Stay the hell at home! 😡
Cheltenham was just 1 event site, bank holiday weekend its every route & boreen out of Dublin & other cities is the prob.
Not much of an expert is he?!
Easter is Ireland’s Second Cheltenham.
Cheltenham was Ireland's Cheltenham
Yep, soon rte will be reduced to screaming 'YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE, OH JESUS HELP US, YOU'RE GONNA DIIIIIEEE' at us. I'd say so nanny way 😆
Why would you wanna go to wexford?
Selfish, idiotic and awful human beings who are willing to put other people's lives on the line so they can have Easter in their country house, zero respect
Cheltenham was already Ireland’s Cheltenham.
If people are already in their beach side holiday home there's not much use closing the car parks as they can just walk 😔
..they need to set up a border control around the capital area. They've done it up here in Finland.
Unlike the GPO 1916, in years to come, no Irish person will ever claim to have been at Cheltenham 2020.
People need to realize that there is still a lot of people in work providing essential services so assuming that everyone in cars is heading off to holiday homes is ridiculous. People need to calm down.
International Women’s Day was Spains Cheltenham on March the 8th, 120,000 Women gathered who love to preach self righteousness, human rights and justice but went out and ignored the warnings spreading the disease on their fellow Women, the Irony.
100 hundred Italian doctors have died fighting this, the youngest was just 36; and these selfish fuckers can’t stay put in Dublin for Easter.
Selfish people, hope the Gardai do their jobs and prosecute them and send them home!
That picture of the M50 could be any day of the week, as regular users will attest. Stirring the pot are you.
More scaremongering
Easter as Ireland's Cheltenham, not by a long shot
What a stupid analogy.
which?
If the Gardai fine EVERY car which doesn't have a valid excuse then this shite will stop pronto. Hit people hard in the pocket because they're just too F-ing stupid to behave themselves
CeeceeNeill15 The paper of record. Laughable.
Fairyhouse r punchestown is Ireland’s cheltenham Shirley
Well they didn't quarantine those returning from Cheltenham did they ?
berkieahern2 I thought Cheltenham was Ireland's Cheltenham.
Easter will be our Lombardy, same thing happened there, ppl running off to holiday homes and spreading the virus when it could have been contained. For God's sake, stay at home!
AddressingLife Look at the trucks- trying to do their day’s work & the SuperValu driver trying to deliver someone’s shopping. Those holiday makers are so selfish CoronavirusLockdown
North Wexford chock full of Dubs already.
Karl_Tooher If this happens....lockdown extended 4 weeks beyond the current projected window. Hopefully sense will prevail lockdownextension
Authorities should use the full powers of the law to keep these self centred people in check. Meanwhile our wonderful people on frontline are going all out to stem the tide & putting their own health in danger.
Send them home gardainfo LeoVaradkar SimonHarrisTD FergalBowers
Fuck sake guys. We all want to feck off somewhere. But we also want our parents to see another Christmas. StayHomeSaveLives
It takes a very special kind of unprincipled, contemptible person to travel for leisure / pleasure reasons during an effing pandemic when they have been explicitly asked not to for the health & safety of everyone. Basically two fingers up at healthcare workers & the vulnerable.
Must cancel' Easter ..no one moves ..
We are a nation of narcissists
AddressingLife Ummm... surely Cheltenham was IrelandsCheltenham?
JohnMurphy51 Is there a horse meet going on?
I know someone advising Gov on this and the word is: make the most of and enjoy your 2 km exercise.
Cheltenham was Ireland's Cheltenham.
A neighbouring farmers tractor and trailer has broken down. There are a number of holiday homes at the end of the road. No one can gain access. Could take a while to move. Days, he reckons...
Surely Cheltenham was Ireland’s Cheltenham, no? 🤔
This is bollocks People will be sensible Picture above will not happen
Is there still flights arriving at our airports?
And the IT is Ireland's version of the leftist rhetoric rag 'The Guardian'.
One of the seminal events. Any statistics here lads. Ffs.
