I guess one must weigh up the costs and benefits... the majority will probably pay their insurance as normal and retain the option to do a bit of work if they want to or need a few notes on top of the 3 and a half a week that Govt is giving us for the time being. I wonder if there will be something of a scramble to get licence discs fitted at the beginning of next month?

Well if you don't send back the current ones, why would there be a scramble?

I'd imagine drivers who are making private use of their cars will remove the discs to keep themselves legal.

They're allowed claim the €350 PUP... and rightly so.

Theres no rules to say you need to remove your discs because the rules are irrelevant in a pandemic ....the rules dont exist because they are altered to suit in extraordinary circumstances..  like 2 meters an 2 km ...the rule book is rewritten
Ther is no reason to remove yur discs ....its absolutely stupid and creating work .....
I have declared myself not working and have altered my insurance private ...that's all I have to do and I took me name off the portal tingy cause it's a phone call away .
I declare it ...I dont have to explain it or defend it ....I'm telling them what I'm doing ....wat is the problem..

...wat do you tink is going to happen if you leave yur discs on ?
.....you'll get a knock on the door? A letter wit a harp on it to court? A fine ?
Nuttin is going to happen ...

The rules don't change, Octy... enforcement thereof might be relaxed but what happens if you have a crash and the insurance are looking for ways to wriggle out of paying... the pandemic could be long gone before your case is heard. The other thing to consider is the number of probationary Gardai on checkpoints, some of their tutors might want to teach them the letter of the law rather than discretionary ignorance. On balance, probably best to keep all the i's crossed and t's dotted, you'll sleep better!

I think they've been extremely accommodating. They even rang me last month to see if I wanted to extend the suspension of my plate licence into this month. Credit where credit is due.

6 pages entirely about stickers. One of the reasons drivers are expendable/ essential, delete as applicable.

Under the T&Cs of our PUP applications a lot of us have to apply for Jobseekers in the near future... Are you going for Benefit or Assistance - if there's a choice?
