If Dublin goes same way as other EU countrys in containment measures .Will the Irish government give us any help???.One for, if any Union heads on here, or will we be in trouble, as ive not much money in the kitty like many more drivers to survive without working.

Wait 'till Friday before you get sick O:-)
https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2020/0309/1121216-sick-pay-emergency-legislation/ (https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2020/0309/1121216-sick-pay-emergency-legislation/)
The Government is to introduce emergency legislation in the Dáil to amend the rules on sick pay, which will see Illness Benefit rise from €203 per week to €305.
It will be available from the first day of illness rather than after six days as at present, and conditionality will be waived to allow the self employed to receive it.
There will be no minimum number of PRSI contributions, but medical certification will be required.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said the objective was to ensure that workers would not be afraid to self-isolate on financial grounds.
Speaking at a press conference this evening, he said that the new legislation would be in the Dáil next Thursday.
Probably more info in tomorrow's papers...

We as an industry are in a good position if our reps were not thick .We are branded big number on the Door and Roof if we self isolate or are sick then we just remove the roofie and if the car is seen on the street during isolation we are charged with welfare fraud .Due to the Driver app you can put a driver in a car anybody not registered should lose their licence not just get fined prevent drivers from renting and working if claiming .Gaining a medical cert could be a problem if doc bans you from surgery and you have to wait for dial a Doc .

I wouldn't say Dial a doc would go to your house if suspected Covid-19,it would be lads in Hazmat suits.Maybe if they suspend the driver off the portal a idea.I doubt there be NTA enforcers out in a pandemic

Just a thought Leo has acted quite Decisively I wonder could he get the Greens to support him for Taoiseach and then turn the tables on Martin and offer him a Coalition as a junior member with the Greens .Not a fan of Leo but this might turn out to be good leadership close it down and pay up .

Plenty of CCTV send it to the same crowd in Poland who monitor the Bottlebanks .Plus Gards have number plate recognition .

Just wondering its the economist in me NO FUCKING LINK ITS MY OWN THOUGHT could this lead to a Universal basic income for all ie.A sum of money paid to ALL citizens if you work or not then tax fuck out of earnings .Some economist suggest paying a Universal Basic Income and removing tax free allowances would yield more tax for the state .

Just watching Claire Byrne,you might just be right Octy,allowing those flight in from Italy was fukin ludicrous,Prof Sam McConkey is right when he says we need to be making tougher and drastic decisions...NOW....not tomorrow or when cases increase and then we're in a different phase,
They're now recommending a 2 metre separation,stop shaking hands...wash hands often...it's up to people to take personal responsibility.....this could actually kill a lot of skangers...the more the merrier.

This is the problem....when the bodies start piling up.....it'll be way too late,
Taiwan made the decision to stop flights from China,to date they've had 46 cases and 1 death...Italy was badly affected because of it's connection to Wuhan through the textile industry.

Ther tough tho but looks like this virus kills mostly owld cnuts like us which is a relief....I tink the Spanish flu killed alot kids ...tho ther wasnt the medicine we have now ....

Ermy will have to survive on slices of ham.
It's the only thing they can slide under the door of the box bedroom! 8)
-
Frozen foods are useless when the power goes and it will if there's a lock-down. Don't forget large ziplock bags for your faeces if/when the water gets turned off....condoms can hold 2 litres of water if stuck. As for kids...they'll be fine...they're not the target.
-
Condoms are very expensive for holding tap water.Tastes funny too.
-
3 for a quid in the markets.....you're not going to be drinking it...wash away your shite if there's no water in the cistern.
-
Now you tell us!.
-
They taste funny? Now, you tell me!
-
I was repeating something I'd read.... but where does the water come from anyway?
-
Moisture from leaves. Merc....drips down if you tie a cock-bandage to any deciduous leaf........takes a while to fill, mind you....a lot longer than the average ride.
-
Ha mebollox I know a quicker way to fill them but not with water.

Some Cunt writing on a page in todays Irish Examiner look it up for yourselves I dont post links Agrees with me that the Man is watching .I wonder if he got his Idea from what I wrote I didnt see any link but then can you really own a thought by being the first to post it in cyberspace or scribble it on paper Anyway this is what the bit on the web from the paper said .....The engineer overseeing the €1bn Cork-to-Limerick road upgrade has responded to data protection and privacy concerns over the use of number-plate recognition cameras in a massive traffic survey.

Drew Harris seems to be echoing the sentiments of the N.I. commish in that he wants the civil power to be able to force people into mandatory vax if the situation arises....which I take to mean, "When I determine it necessary". The ANPR system must be legal, John......as in- acceptable by statute- within the workings of paid members of a police force? This whole GDPR thingy seems very washy.

I posted at the time but nobody had a pair of Fucks to give .The 2012 Taxi Act introduced into Irish Law that workers could be observed in their place of work ie cameras on Ranks .It also meant that traffic could be observed .If a motorist complained about being observed the Taxi Act 2012 could be used to point to legal precedent as All laws must apply to all citizens not just Taxi Operators .Remember it was the Law on who could inject Bull Spunk into a Cow that led to the Deregulation of the taxi industry .If Qualified Vets could not be restricted from work they qualified for then Licenced taxi drivers could not be restricted .
-
Okay. Just asking......remember there are no facts, John....just interpretations....your brief, should you ever need one, will tell you that. Bigger picture here for the likes of madmen like mise is back-door legislation being introduced to restrict movement, freedom and access etc. Mr Harris in the Dáil, and Mr Harris in The Phoeno appear to be working towards a common goal.
I like to remind fellow arsewipes of the position of "The Remembrancer" in the House of Commons. His/Her/Non-Binary's job is to remind the speaker every time he sets a bill in motion that the vested interests of the "elite" must be considered....he is real........I don't make shite up.....Hal will tell you.
-
Lip our constitution protects your private property but Mary Harneys Nursing home bill introduced into Irish Legislation actually a constitutional amendment a law that allows the state access to your property to maintain you .That could be depended on for access to other Private Property in time like shares ,savings land .Dont think a lot of people consider a small acorn grows into a great Oak and the timber from the Oak can build a gallows.

If Dublin goes same way as other EU countrys in containment measures .Will the Irish government give us any help???.One for, if any Union heads on here, or will we be in trouble, as ive not much money in the kitty like many more drivers to survive without working.
Same as during the last recession, the full-time men are entitled to means-tested Jobseekers Allowance with no restriction on the operation of their taxis. Additionally, as outlined by An Taoiseach in the last day or two an increased Illness Benefit (not means-tested) will be available to all self-employed regardless of PRSI contributions.
What do you want the Unions to do, exactly?
-
All joking aside,I might seriously look at this offer.considering the underlying illnesses I have,I dont think I would have much trouble getting a cert from the doctor to self isolate.I genuinely do feel a little scared now,but I wasn't up to now
-
Might be no harm to look at hand sanitisers when grabbing them off the shelves lads...if they say anti-bacterial....waste of time.
-
Unless we're putting bags over the passengers heads we're getting this.
Had a lad in the car who works in a big shop and they're being told to use hand sanitizer after handling cash every single time.It's just not practical to work like that in the taxi.
Rumour going around the country will be going into lock down on Friday.
-
Lock-down is grand. It's locked up is what most here really fear.

dont mind all the social welfare bollox easier to find a catholic in mecca than get a payment .My hen on short time they want to know if anybody she knows has a job .

Not that hard but prepare for some tough private questions....they don't just roll over for everyone.
-
This is getting serious lads.Theres no bog roll in the Lidl in Cabra.
-
Why is there such a run on jacks rolls ? What have they got to do with this virus ?
-
I haven't heard one word of optimism from any politician,scientist,or anyone else in relation to this virus.its all doom ,and gloom.is nobody working on a cure ? Even the WHO are being extremely pessimistic.surely they should be trying to offer people hope that they are making progress in the battle against it.I say fukk the virus,we will all be grand if we fight it .WE WILL BEAT IT
-
Dunno why people go mad for bog roll but it's probably fueled by social media.
Daly even if they found a formula to combat the aul corona it would be months of testing and then they'd be rationing who would get it first.Public servants first then the rest of us plebs.
-
I think for the moment,washing hands thoroughly is the key,
I've about 40 jax rolls here.....tenner a roll....but Merc..it's not an investment that will increase in value unless you're planning on stockpiling!!
-
I'm good for now.I got extra kitchen rolls.I hope the corpo have a good plumber..
-
MFH we must have hope.there are a lot of young men on here,who probably have young families ,and are worried for there welfare.they must be offered hope at least
-
Daly there's no vaccine.No point in the government pretending we're not going to be like Italy.Some old and sick people are gonna die over this.By scaring the public into staying in and washing their hands they might get to kill it off.I'm optimistic that I won't be dying form it.But if the city gets shut down it's gonna get bad for us.
-
The govt could have got in front of this by making tough and drastic decisions re people coming in from Italy.....big business won out but their short sightedness might kill a lot of those same business's,people will inevitably stop going out and that will kickstart a recession.....welcome to the new normal!!
-
Yes....definitely means a recession...

No matter what it means ,it can,and will be beaten if we follow the guidelines as laid down by the HSE.I hate to see people worried by this,and God knows I have more reason to worry about it then most,but I wont let it beat me. They will find a vaccine,and it will not be to long .lets look to a bright future

Takes at least a year for them to test the vaccine daily ...according to doctor specialising in infectious diseases on the radio
-
Yes I know that,but we can contain it if we do what is suggested by the HSE.it involves EVERYONE playing their part.it is a virus that is only a step up from the flu.I hate to see people worrying ,life is hard enough

I have my own antidote,but people would laugh at me if I put it up here

Dalyer, get it up there as quick as Price Andrew's browsing history was deleted...
-
The possible projections say that 1.9 million people on this island will contract the virus.Us gobshites will probably get it five or six times.No point worrying as you're more likely to die from something else.I don't think any lads on here are worried except maybe the renters.500 a week plus 200 commission is a hard mountain to climb.If we could last through the previous downturn we will be ok.

The human being is the virus...causing planetary destruction
And climate change ....the covd 19 thing humans call a virus ....is actually the planets antibodies....
-
One way to tackle climate change is to release a virus that cripples the global economy.I said that to someone the other day but it's getting into tinfoil hat territory.
During the Wuhan lockdown apparently pollution went down dramatically.Mad stuff.
-
Ok ill yell yis.its important for me to say firstly that I dont really mind if people laugh at me or not,because it works for me.
When I went into hospital on 15th Dec quite unexpectedly, all I remember when the consultant told me the extent of my problem was the sound of muffled voices.the only one word I heard clearly was surgery.
This was surreal,and certainly uncharted waters.
I was absolutely out of my mind with worry,and fear (hence the reason I hate to see people worry now )
Anyhow I spent almost 3 months in ,between Beaumont,and the mater.I got deeply into prayer and surrounded myself with certain saints whos help I usually invoke when im in trouble.I can never put into words how much this helped,only they,and I know how prayer helped to alleviate the feelings of anxiety I had.on many occasions throughout my time in hospital,I had good experiences,bad experiences,disappointments,laughs,but one of the experiences I had in particular is worth telling you
about.it actually happened on the very first day .I was so overcome with all kinds of emotions,that I asked to see the chaplin.when he came to me ,the first thing he said to me was,Paul the nurses sent for me at 5 pm ,and its now 6 pm.the reason I was late is,because I was in the church praying for you.then suddenly he turned his head ,looked straight at me,and said to me Paul I can tell you that you will be alright.it was an uncanny experience,but one I never forgot.from that moment on ,I did not feel the same fear I had felt ,and I just know that my belief,and trust in my higher power carried me through.when the surgery was all over some weeks later,I asked the surgeon was it a complete success,and with a thumps up sign he said 2 hundred per cent Paul.I just turned my face into the pillow cried my eyes out,and thanked my higher power for removing the fear,and anxiety.and that is my antidote prayer
-
Fair play Dalyer....at least you're a man of your word....most of the 2-faced cunts here actually believe in the same things but are ashamed to admit for several reasons....1...the wife tells them what to think...2.....they're terrified of not being accepted by the "herd" or crowd....3...2 members here...and I will never, ever name them are ex-Christian Bros...
-
.3...2 members here...and I will never, ever name them are ex-Christian Bros...
Only 2?
-
Daly that touched my heart (Honestly) , well done for sharing that experience with us, nearly shed a tear , I've been there myself and know what its like.
As I always say "there's always someone worse off then me " not that I'd wish anything bad on anyone.
We all try to be the hard man at times and usually in times of trouble we turn to the man above for help.
God bless you.

Well as I said STC,that experience was mine alone,and I now have a deeply consolidated belief in my higher power.it does not make me a better person then anyone else,just an extremely lucky person to have been given such faith
