    But it's all going to be ok because a few posters on here said they were just "temporarily unemployed".

    A new cafe will take their place when the pandemic is over. It’s a cafe, it’s a low barrier to entry business.

    How predictable....we are not Hungary....they have approved it for "emergency use".

    I can give you the answer...none.

    All our covid vaccine have an EUA (emergency use order) order - UK too.
    None are actually approved as per the normal path

    The last thread moved so quickly in the past couple of hours so I don’t know if it was mentioned, but they have stopped processing passport renewals! The most basic right any citizen has is no longer available!!

    This is outrageous, is there anywhere anyone can actually ‘appeal’ this? My neighbour now directly affected by this. Being able to apply doesn’t mean they are processing by the way as they have just found out

    Surely this could be implemented again

    Too much hassle with it for them, they won’t bother

    Not sure if that is true, plenty of people posting here they have got passports recently.

    Point still 100 percent stands, one country in EU has approved sputnik Hungary and that is it.

    Passport Online

    The Passport Service has paused operations in line with the move to Level 5 of the Government's National Framework on Living with COVID-19 from 24 December.

    Passport Online is open to all applicants, including children, renewing their passports and those applying for their first passport who are resident in Ireland, UK, EU, EEA and Switzerland. These applications will be processed when the Passport Services resumes operations.

    All positive test results are required to be submitted to the HSE. Doesn't matter if it's a private facility or not.

    Only cases detected in public health systems are logged with the CIDR from which the HSE extract their daily reporting data.

    Yes they are

    you are partially correct.
    The EUA only appears applies in US, UK and Canada.
    The EU equivalent is a conditional marketing authorisation.

    EMA has recommended granting a conditional marketing authorisation for the vaccine Comirnaty, developed by BioNTech and Pfizer, to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in people from 16 years of age. EMA’s scientific opinion paves the way for the first marketing authorisation of a COVID-19 vaccine in the EU by the European Commission, with all the safeguards, controls and obligations this entails.

    https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/glossary/conditional-marketing-authorisation
    Conditional marketing authorisation
    The approval of a medicine that addresses unmet medical needs of patients on the basis of less comprehensive data than normally required. The available data must indicate that the medicine’s benefits outweigh its risks and the applicant should be in a position to provide the comprehensive clinical data in the future.

    wtaf ?
    That could prove to be an expensive upset at a time when the British B.1.1.1.7 variant is rapidly taking over. France is already where the UK was in early December just before when the epidemic went parabolic. The variant was 36pc of all French cases late last week, reaching 54pc in some departments. The South African and a Brazilian variants are more than 10pc in four departments.

    French epidemiologists say the apparent stability in new cases is an illusion. There are two separate epidemics: the old one is declining with the current partial restrictions; the new B.1.1.1.7 epidemic is relentlessly rising. The numbers seem to knock each other out for a while until the variant reaches an inflexion point and goes wild.


    Italy is further behind France but on the same trajectory. The British variant is a quarter of cases in parts of the Mezzogiorno. Prof Andrea Crisanti, hero of the successful Veneto containment last year, says a fourth wave is now avoidable and is calling for an “immediate national lockdown”.


    For real ? we are there again ???

    No mention of the Construction Industry?!

    Oh yes, that's right the UK, along with every country in Europe, didn't even give a thought to closing building sites as part of Covid suppression strategy.

    We really are the special boys in the class, closing our building sites down.

    A strategy based on the vague reasoning of "people moving around"... and doubling down on it now too!

    House building may not return in Ireland until Early May.

    Potentially 4 months of house building pretty much being put on hold.

    There is houses been built today.

    But who stated the rest of construction will be closed until "Early May"?

    Social housing is been built.

    Fair society ay?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,570 ✭✭✭✭Idbatterim


    They wont and cant tell us what figures we need to reach, to get things opened. Even if we all locked ourselves inside, there is no number they will be happy with. After the Christmas surge they are even more hyper sensitive. So I dont really buy into the " well businesses are closed because of irresponsible behaviour " they would have another bull**** excuse if the numbers were a tenth of what they are...

    Laughable, the free house club top of the priority list as usual. The only ones worth a damn according to rte the left wing media and left wing dail..

    Anyone else not care what the numbers are anymore cause it’s. Seems to me even if we are single figures, we are still locked up and that’s not the best bit... budget 2022, thank u so much for staying at home now here’s a nice new tax as ur rewards. **** this b*stard government.

    Imagine you could fast forward to the budget tomorrow, but based on where the figures will be in September or October of this year, the clappy seals would change their tune pretty quickly when it hits them in the pockets, like it has hundreds of thousands of others

    Under the legislation as it stands private housing was allowed continue from 11th Jan to end of Jan only if it was at final completion stage.

    Social housing the same but to the end of Feb.

    Other big projects exempt as outlined before.

    Any works going on in contravention of this are irrelevant.

    The legislation is in place and no easing in sight.

    I don't really care if lads are working away on jobs that are supposed to be closed down, that's up to them.

    Re Early May see below from the journal dot ie;

    "Beyond the reopening of schools, no major easing of restrictions is expected until May."

    ...

    "Construction and retail are likely to be the first industries allowed to reopen once the spread of Covid-19 slows"

    We are all expecting a hit. Dont know why you are assuming people will change their tune based on that.

    .


    And they so clearly came up with the 'moving around' nonsense when they were scrambling around trying to find around some reason to explain their decisions. It also came in handy for schools and GAA matches.
