Is that a fact or a recommendation from NPHET? Nothing is decided yet.

Just a recommendation so far, but given previous form, cabinet will likely meet and approve the measures on Tuesday with them to take effect Tuesday midnight

Ridiculous situation, lock the country down again and the economy will be a shambles... the benefit will be negligible.

This shouldn’t need to happen, the guidelines are clear but have not been followed by a significant minority.

Those seeking to gain by actively rallying against the guidelines need heavy handed treatment at this stage.

No probs. Just do the decent thing and isolate for 14 days on arrival.

Great practice all the same, for the great robot drone wars of 2023 with all this DEFCOM lockdown stuff.

If it's going to be 4wks on, and perhaps 4wks off and so on, perhaps rollout the aul UBI.

I don't think that a FF led government will be the ones to push the button on level 5 unless and until there is a far more significant pressure on the hospitals.

There are far too many vested interests whispering in Mam's ear.
The primary driver will be the positivity rates IMO.
If the positivity rate is at or above 10% restrictions are the only way to interrupt the spread.

This seems like Tony being brought back to lend the credibility he earned in the initial outbreak, to the hard calls to come.

Govt will IMO likely go with a level lower and announce level 4 or even 3.5 nationwide in the hope of slowing the spread with a more restrictive lockdown come school mid-terms.

We might be on the cusp of the greatest mental health disaster in this country's history. Clocks changing, evenings cold and dark, people isolated during the cold and harsh autumn months. They'll be opening back up when the suicide deaths start shooting through the roof!

Who the hell do NPHET think they are, making a dramatic escalation to Level 5 (only days after declining to ramp up certain countries to Level 3). They are toying with people's livelihoods and their mental health. Expect a raft of suicides coming into the long winter. I return to the family home this evening, my mother in tears at the prospect of being unable to attend church her primary social outlet. These "experts" have absolutely no compassion for the wider public, don't be fooled to the contrary. It is an egregious power trip that has gone too far, should the Government adopt these severe measures then they are the most spineless and insipid coalition for generations. If there is an uprising against the implementation of Level 5 restrictions nationwide I will enthusiastically support it. Enough is enough.

This is nonsense, I work in a particular area where we've generally got the heads up a little in advance. Considering the government were a bit taken by surprise by NPHETs recommendation, I doubt anything is set in stone.

If the government follow the usual pattern then yeah, maybe Tuesday this will happen, but this is a big move. Its potentially bigger than the March call, they'll take a day or two to mull over it

I was a believer in the initial lockdown and the good that it did, but surely we can't just go to level 5 straight away?

This 2nd wave is not the same. There are few deaths and it appears that those who are at risk, mostly the elderly, are keeping away and safe. The figures show this.

It will take brave politicians to take us to level 5. A large number of people's lives are being ruined by this. We need to keep society alive, not just the school sector. It could be political suicide to being in level 5 straight away.

Perhaps it's kite flying again? Threats of level 5 but take us a part of the way?

We will see.

Floating the idea of level 5 so when they put the country in level 4 you’ll be grateful.

A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.

Bassy all you're doing is scare mongering by making threads like this when nothing has been decided yet.
