this wasnât enforced in any way shape or form. If you were travelling for essential work you didnât even have to fill out the passenger location form.
Also, Ireland isnât part of Schengen so even when the EU werenât allowing entries from non EU countries, Ireland were. I think we are still the most open in Europe for non EU arrivals
Not true
Who is lending all this magic money that will never have to be repaid? Weâll be hitting Weimar Republic levels of inflation yet with all this money printing.
53 outbreaks in care homes in the north.
Eeeeek.
going by this here from politico
Anyone not traveling from Northern Ireland or for essential work must fill in a COVID-19 Passenger Location Form. Falsely filling in the form or not doing so at all carries the threat of up to a âŹ2,500 fine or six months imprisonment.
also from gov.ie
By law, passengers arriving to Ireland from overseas are required to complete this form, with the exception of the following:
Also, people not on green lists were never told to quarantine. They were told to ârestrict their movementsâ
That must be out of date. Everyone fills in the form. They can tick an exemption box on the form if they are exempt from the restrictionsâŚ
Itâs confusing (and utterly pointless)
last updated on the 31st of August.
Did you âhaveâ to restrict your movements when you came back from germany?
Donât be thick ffs.
You have made some claims on Irish people not following rules but the truth is that most people in most countries follow them. And many operators simply would not run with that restriction there.
Many resorts in Spain that were kicking off again in July saw closures in August.
why do you keep bringing up the UK? Weâre discussing Ireland. Separate states and Unions as much as that may gall you
Which is much of a muchness.
As Big Phil so rightly said, thatâs only a stupid recommendation.
By the way, I should have lied about my phone number on that passenger locator form. Since returning from Poland I have had two phone calls from the government to check that Iâm restricting my movements, despite it only being a recommendation. Ironically not filling out the form is a crime, even though not restricting your movements is not.
I should have listened to @Tassotti. Although I fucked NPHET bad this morning when I left the house to get a haircut before their next lockdown. Viva la revolution.
As I am illustrating the impact of such advice. The restrictions that the UK latterly brought in meant thousands of holiday makers fled Spain. Similar happened with France.
And on the UK, they were far closer to the EU standard than Ireland.
Yeah, my mate who went to Poland with me is a civil servant (no itâs not @glasagusban hahahahaha). Even though theyâre mostly working from home at the moment they wouldnât let him work from home for the next two weeks! So he had to just lie and pretend that heâs never been away. I bought him a Krakow facemask to bring into the office next time, just to tip his co-workers over the edge.
They donât fill out the location details if they are exempt. Splitting hairs I suppose.
No Germany was on the green list.
but the UK had a restriction requirement not a recommendation. They introduced 1000 pound fines and criminal charges for multiple breaches.
Yeah we get two weeks unpaid if we didnât follow the ârecommendationâ and went somewhere off the green list
The lockdowners are very nationalistic. Itâs an ugly movement.
âLockdownersâ could be a thing I think. I like the implication that they might have down-syndrome. Thereâs potential there.
Iâm not arguing against travel in any way shape or form. Iâm arguing the point that people think weâve been closed when we havenât. There have been people coming and going since the start of this thing.
What I find ridiculous is if someone landed in Knock airport, they are bound to Mayo until Level 3 goes away. Whatâs the fucking point
that is outrageous now⌠could you mitigate that with a negative test on return?
As Big Phil learned thatâs not good enough. You could still be harbouring the virus for 14 days!
Edit: even though most of those places are safer than Ireland and you could harbour it for 14 days in Ireland!
