What is correct?
The dates of the stages of lockdown. The UK brought lockdown measures before Ireland.
Maybe it feels strange to you because Ireland were not as far advanced in their epidemic. I don’t know.

Didn't Ireland's epidemic really get kicked off by folk going to Cheltenham and coming back again?

Where are these dates? I live in Ireland and work in the UK, school closures came first in Ireland for sure. Pub closures were in effect in Ireland for St Patricks Day which was before the equivalent shutdown in the UK. Those are the only ones I have off the top of my head so curious to hear which measures the UK had in place before Ireland.

I was looking at the FT chart up there ^
Seems odd that it's indicating that the UK government are being shown as more stringent than the Irish one. Had a quick glance over the data and one of the measures where the UK scored better was 'Cancel Public Events'.
