quote:

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has criticised Sinn Féin’s plan to hold nationwide rallies, portraying them as the next stage of the party’s “campaign of intimidation and bullying”.

Mr Varadkar said on Monday the plans announced by Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald for a series of public meetings around the country were an unwelcome development.

Sinn Féin’s meetings aim to rally public support for the party’s efforts to get into government.

TAOISEACH Leo Varadkar has confirmed that schools, colleges, childcare facilities and other public facilities are to close and restrictions put in place on public gatherings in a bid to counter the coronavirus outbreak.

The measures come into effect at 6pm on Thursday and will be in effect until March 29. [...]

All indoor mass gatherings of more than 100 people should be cancelled and all outdoor gatherings of 500 people or more should be cancelled.

All schools remaining open up North with a unified statement from all parties in the executive, saying Dublin did not brief them before this morning's announcement and they are following medical advice given to them.

Went shopping this morning. Not a lot of empty shelves but the place was packed. We got the optional work from home for the entire office yesterday after the announcement. Things are quiet otherwise.

Was in Boots earlier, the only shelf half empty was the hand washes. I wouldn't even call them sanitizers as it looks like none were anti-bacterial, just scented ones.

Rumours so far are they'll be posted to hospitals and possibly shopping centers/pharmacies to "maintain order" (protect the toilet paper).

Rumours are also that we could easily end up in a situation like Italy though where they're enforcing keeping people off the streets, if the gov decides to make the lockdown more severe next week.

They don't need to be antibacterial. Its a virus so you just need soap.

So going back to this, Leo has not initiated Order 66.

The Army is expected to call up reserves, but not as part of some martial law. The voice recording is a hoax. See here.

FF&FG will use Corona as an excuse to form a "national government", with or without the support of the Greens. They can ride roughshod over any objections from their members now "in the national interest". And then even if they don't have the Greens support and are a minority they'll just dare the other parties to vote the government down - nobody is going to want to take the blame for collapsing a government in a time of crisis like this.

Then 6 months down the line when the crisis has passed they'll decide everything is actually working out fine, so they might as well stay in power. Probably by just roping in a few dodgy rural INDs to make up the numbers.

Prepare for 5 more years of Leo :(
