you now can be fined for 2 people coming together who are not related. Police have been given the authority to disperse gathering of 2 or more people
For the avoidance of doubt police dispersal applies to more than 2 people, not 2 or more
From the government’s official guidance here:

To make sure people are staying at home and apart from each other, the Government is also stopping all
public gatherings of more than two people.
There are only two exceptions to this rule:
● where the gathering is of a group of people who live together – this means that a parent can, for
example, take their children to the shops if there is no option to leave them at home.
● where the gathering is essential for work purposes – but workers should be trying to minimise all
meetings and other gatherings in the workplace.
In addition, the Government is stopping social events, including weddings, baptisms and other religious
ceremonies. This will exclude funerals, which can be attended by immediate family.And this is the official guide on closures
Irish racing will have to stop. The guidelines are being breached at small meetings at Thurles and Downpatrick. What chance is there of being observed at Punchestown where there are many more runners?
Observed whilst walking home last night were two groups of four, quite certainly not from the same household, gathering and chatting in a huddle and a long queue at the McDonalds Drive-through out onto and up a busy main road. Yes people are daft enough to queue for god knows how long to get a final McDonalds before they close for a short while
At least I will be able to go for my walk each day (exercise). I have been practicing social distancing most of my life so I’m an expert at it
“All sporting fixtures are now cancelled, even those behind closed doors.” – Irish PM just now.
Once again the same boring question: what took them so long?
Are they more immune than the rest of the world? Do they know more about the virus than other countries?
Suspended until 19th April. That keeps the door open for Punchestown but I cannot see that meeting taking place.

Was always going to be sooner rather than later, sadly.
I’ve ordered more books from Ebay tonight, would usually be buying more from the charity shops as well, but they are all closed
If you want a good book to read Tank; the bible is just out.

Value Is EverythingBloody daft having jockeys racing in close proximity and yet everyone else expected to keep well apart.

Don’t choke, Ginge, but I wouldn’t have that if it was free. Too much like hard work ploughing through that. I like to pick ones as a back to lay, maybe 4 or 5 in big fields, and a couple or more in smaller. Doesn’t worry me if I have,say, a 20/1 shot winning and I’ve thrown away a quarter of the profit, it all comes out in the wash and I like to think it comes out in my favour – suppose I should really check that out sometime
You’d laugh at my methods but they do consistently produce a small profit. Certain jockeys as well will always carry my money and low weights in handicaps. What I do love is the times that my book goes all green and can end up winning, albeit a small amount, on a horse that I’ve not had a penny on – how’s that for value! God bless Betfair
