Who gave DR Phil the idea that you check citizens information as a first port of call in a fast-changing environment? This is more tired cynical political media advisor garbage.

If he knew he had an appointment why didn't he come come back sooner and quarantine or if it was a sudden complaint he should have just gone up to the hospital after being abroad He went to the hospital although he may have been covid positive.

Very very embarrassed. He is not living in Ireland and was advised by (so called) eminent people that all was ok ref this event. I would be prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. espcially as his job is in Europe and not directly involved in covid related decisions here.
