Anyone been over to Ireland since 19th July

[postitgirl]

So I've booked tickets to go in august, but my mother is saying my kids need to quarantine for 5 days, get a PCR and if it's neg they can go out. My reading of the regs from the Citizens Advice Bureau (Irish one) was that the quarantine doesn't apply to children 17 and under. I don't know if she is being ultra cautious, I dont want an argument with her, but my kids are upset they have to stay in for 5 days with my parents. Anyone been through this??? I'm vaccinated so I don't think it applies to me... (I will be getting them the PCR here before we go)

VOTE: IABU - not making the kids quarantine YES
IANBU - doing what my mother wants and quarantining me and kids for 5 days

Why would I not have a clue. I live in Ireland. hmm

So do all those twonks marching in Dublin the other day, living here hardly means you understand the situation.

Well it seems you understand better than anyone else. I'm obviously clueless.

I understand that advising people how to get around the restrictions is pretty dickish, yeah. Shame you still haven't copped that after a year and a half

Tell it to the people who do that.

And don't imply the Irish government has handled stuff much better.

I have lots of issues with how the Irish government have handled Covid but the excess death rate per head of population in Ireland is about a fifth of that of Britain.

Ireland has been a basket case regarding Covid. Some of my family are still waiting for their second vaccines. Big mistake letting loose at Christmas.

I don't deny that but people are very much more spread out in Ireland.

@ChimneyPot
Well that's obvious, Ireland doesnt have any major international transit hubs

@SorryWoman Knock airport?
