Coronavirus Ireland: all mass gatherings in Ireland are prohibited until August at the earliest

All mass gatherings in Ireland are prohibited until August at the earliest.

The Government issued a statement confirming that all meetings of more than 5,000 people will take place until the end of August.

It is part of the plans that the Government will announce due to the continuous pandemic of covid-19.

This decision was made by the ministers at a cabinet meeting today.

The decision means that all major concerts, sporting events, and other events will have to be rescheduled.

A statement from the Irish government tonight said: “All mass gatherings have been restricted since March 24.

“More health tips will be updated before May 5.

“However, there are a number of large-scale future events that require licenses and the involvement of HSE and Garda Síochána, and a public consultation on that licensing process that local authorities must determine before that.

“While the issue of restrictions at future mass meetings is a decision for the NPHET to make, in the case of these particular events, and taking into account the short-term impacts on the integrity of the licensing process due to restrictions In Stakeholder Engagement, local authorities have been informed by the Government that event promoters should be informed that events requiring licenses over 5,000 will not be considered for the period until the end of August.

“This will be kept under review in line with NPHET’s advice on mass meetings in general.”

Irish sport may not return until the fall as a result of the ban.

The GAA All-Ireland championships, the Irish League, PRO14 rugby and a host of other sports competitions now face renewed uncertainty as a result.

GAA, FAI and IRFU have implemented full stops on all activities since March 12.

But the GAA was aiming for a makeshift return to the makeshift championships across Ireland after a Special Congress last week.

The FAI was also expecting a return in July for the Irish League, while the PRO14 seasons and the Irish Provincial Rugby Champions Cup remain in limbo.

Speaking over the weekend answering a question about whether Electric Picnic would take place in 2020, Health Minister Simon Harris said it was unlikely that we would have mass meetings like that anytime soon.

He said: “We are going to have to make a decision soon about these massive rankings.

“I think it is unlikely that we will see massive meetings any time soon.”

“I think we will have to maintain our social distancing, even if we can reduce some of the existing restrictions as well.”

It occurs when Coronavirus is ready to blow up a € 23 billion black hole in the economy this year.

And if the blockade has to continue until October, in the worst case, the coup could be 50% worse with a national debt this year that exceeds 30 billion euros at least.

The government is preparing for 22% unemployment rates this year and will only return to a more manageable rate below 10% sometime next year.

The primary measure of how an economy works, GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is projected to drop 10.5% this year.

But this is only if the blockade is lifted in this economic quarter.

If the severe restrictions are not lifted until the fourth quarter of October, the collapse of GDP will be a whopping 15.25%.

The shocking statistics are revealed in the update that the Government must provide to the EU at the end of April of each year, the SPU (Stability Program Update).

Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe said: “The Irish economic landscape, in common with other places, has gone crazy in recent weeks.

“The restrictions necessary to limit transmission of the Covid-19 virus have resulted in a severe recession and unprecedented levels of unemployment.”

“My department is projecting that GDP will fall 10.5 percent this year, with measures taken to combat Covid19 here and internationally, resulting in a sharp contraction in domestic and external demand.

“However, the gradual recovery assumed in the second half of the year is expected to gain momentum next year, with the economy growing at 6% and unemployment falling below 10% next year.

“Economic activity is expected to reach its pre-crisis level in 2022.”
