It will add that this was "highlighted when the Taoiseach and his advisors returned from Belgium (a country excluded from the Green List) and were unable to comply with the vague restrictions set out for the rest of the citizens of the State to follow".

It's a bit rich though that we're asking people to get their test done abroad before they get here, but we won't offer the same to people that want to go elsewhere. i.e you have to get a referral here to get tested.

People who were on their holidays and came back were caught out with these new rules, they already had their holidays booked in advance, you can't expect people then not to get caught out with the new rules. At least give people a couple of weeks notice. This government have been a complete and utter disaster since they started. They haven't got a clue.

Job seekers by it's very nature, by it's very name suggests you are looking for work. Eligible recipients are occasionally asked for proof they are actively looking for work and it's explicitly clear what the purpose of this is. This PUP has been given as people had NO OPTION but to stop working. It's also not free money, when these people return to work there will be tax ramifications and most are aware of this. The PUP was given out to actively disincentive people from working in the midst of a global pandemic and the government was transparent about this, even acknowledging that some people are better off. This was not a bad thing as we were all trying to stay safe so ensuring people had adequate money to cover day to day expenses and ensuring they would stay at home was fine. Now, the government has come out and said, actually if you're on the PUP you should be looking for work. What about the thousands of staff who work in pubs who were ready to return last week but had the rug pulled from under them at the last second? Should they be actively looking for work when you basically told them to stay on the PUP for another three weeks if not more? If someone has paid for a holiday and they can afford to go then they should be allowed to. The government can't just move the goalposts willy nilly as it suits with some rather questionable practices regarding the handling of people's data. Nobody's passport has their PPSN on it and the address on a passport is inconsequential as if you move address there is no requirement to update your passport to reflect this. There is serious serious questions to be asked on how data is being linked. Varadkar gives a vague quote saying "the airport is providing information". DAA was very quickly to come out and say they have nothing to do with it. Some people saying they have no idea how them transiting through the airport is being linked to their welfare information. Not to mention it's grossly unfair that people weren't being informed they needed to stay in the country. This whole affair is rotten to the core.
The Turkish couple, a 50-year-old taxi driver and his 45-year-old wife, arrived home on a Ryanair flight on 16 July. They were not diagnosed until six days after their return. The whole family is now infected, including the couple’s four children, aged nine to 21, and their grandmother.
She said that the health office had made repeated attempts to contact Ryanair so that the airline could contact other passengers who were on the plane, but that it has “so far had no feedback”.

Going on holiday during a bloody pandemic and then whinging when travel restrictions get brought in or changed is completely stupid behaviour. When I see the carry on of some people it’s like the last 5 months didn’t happen at all.
mikekerry wrote: » Why can't people go on holiday? you have as much chance as picking up covid in a supermarket as anywhere else. Once you take the correct precautions that's all you can do. What exactly is going to change next year if a vaccine isn't in place. Just because the calendar changes doesn't mean anything will be different with the virus. Just use some common sense. It's been a hard year for people a holiday will do people good. Locking people up without holiday is not going to help anyone.
