NPHET....

Sinn Fein would be doing something similar I would say....

I don't agree with it....madness at this stage

And Holohan also has explaining to do as to why 4500 untested people were moved from hospitals into nursing homes at the beginning of the pandemic on top of the existing question marks over his offer to do an internal report for the cancer screening failure

That'll be the day. It's more likely he will be awarded some other freedom of the city or honorary doctorate to add to what they've given him already for god knows what.

used car salesman Donnelly on RTE radio 1 now

A petty and spiteful little man who could barely contain his glee as he smashed people's jobs and businesses into the ground.

Time for protests. Time for the worst Taoiseach in the history of the State to be run out of town.

Can someone tell me this?

I wouldn't call the forcing of young unvaccinated restaurant or pub staff to work inside with customers caution tbh.

They called for 'zero covid'. A bigger and more farcical joke of a party.

It looks like the government have really dropped the ball on this issue, it may have been workable if you'd given customers the option of vaccine pass OR cheap antigen test but to limit those allowed have a meal/pint to vaccinated people only is just madness and will make this restriction totally unworkable

This is a reduction of 50% from the trials we've been having in Tallaght Stadium

Trials are separate and there's separate guidance for large scale events in stadiums that have bigger capacity.

There's no change to the outdoor events, this was all previously announced last month

Get ready for more mass gatherings in the city centres.

Stephen Donnelly wants to listen to the people.

Listen. Listen, ah shut the **** up.

If any further proof were needed we have a group of career bureaucrats in NPHET deciding national policy with a rubber stamp from cabinet to make it look official.

Which doesn’t make it any less of a joke.

Stretched health service, especially ICU that can be overwhelmed quickly. We had people on trolleys before this, another massive surge like January quickly breaks the system.

Ireland also naturally cautious, we've had very very few national emergencies in our history - no massive loss of lives like from an earthquake etc - so we are not inured to it. We still look back to the famine 170 years ago in shock, but there's nothing like this in living history

Holohan must be proud as punch right now - back, front and centre of headlines.

Sickening.

The issue is the government and cabinet....not showing any critical thinking whatsoever.
I am sure other countries have the equivalent of NPHET but don't adopt everything they suggest

Here is Tony attending his own ceremony for his honorary fellowship when he told you that you cant have your ceremony

Tenerife went back up a level last week to stop indoor dining amongst other restrictions, this was because a small region in the north went out of control, but the entire island was punished. The hotel, bar and restaurant association took the government to court straight away and this morning won their case to get back the right to allow indoor use. Why can't Ireland do something like this, no fight back from these associations that are paid to do just this.

What?

There was a court case just last week, the judge held it over until there was clarification on whether they'd be allowed open on July 5th.

A surge like January with the vast majority of vulnerable people vaccinated? Not very likely imo.
