The list published by the government contains specific examples of workers within the following industries:4. Electricity, Gas Water8. Accommodation and Food Services11. Professional, Scientific and Technical activities14. Public Administration and Defence Among the specific professions included in the listed services are:

All employees should work from home, if at all possible, and that’s the most important thing to remember. The purpose of the document, which we published on Gov.ie, is to provide guidance to employers and employees as to what constitutes an essential service, or workers cannot work from home and have no option but to travel to work.

“The local government emergency response teams will coordinate that response at local level,” Canavan added.Earlier this week, the government had published another list of retail services that can remain open but this was tightened last night.Some services previously listed as essential are now told to only offer emergency call-out or delivery services.

Can hookers work lol 😂

What about cleaners

Infection control ie cleaners

That list is as clear as mud. Looks like absolutely no change from the previous stay at home list and putting the responsibility back on the shoulders of the people instead of taking control like government should.

So almost everybody then

Still none the wiser. Im in engineering on a construction site of a pharmaceutical plant. Anyone tell me?

Employers won't do anything but expect their workers to turn up on Monday...... I presume they'd argue it would be easier and make more sense to contact them if they're non essential workers and are to stay at home....seems logical

Is there any body not on the list?

Wow, first time in my life, I'm Essential, wonder if I can ask the boss for a pay rise..........

That's an exhaustive list

Security personnel are an essential service

Can stamp2 students work fulltime hours through this? I heard there was an announcement they could but cant find it.
