Medical staff at Nenagh Hospital in Tipperary still do not know when their vaccine programme will begin and have said how frustrated they are to see non-frontline staff getting the precious shots. The nurse, speaking at the start of a shift working with Covid patients to Virgin Media TV, added: “We are so angry, we are scared, we are afraid. We can see our co-workers going down with Covid and becoming very ill.” And she was critical of a contentious vaccine programme for staff at the private Beacon HealthCare hospital.

Asking could they not have began seeking permission in the run up. You were involved. Yet here you are playing dumb, quite well.

Red tape blamed for Covid-19 vaccine rollout delays

We are fifteen days into the vaccination process, actually only 10 working days, we are vaccinating at the second best rate in Europe, it is only beginning, but you come out with "they initally made a balls of it". We are still in the initial stages of a vaccination process that will take the guts of a year!!!! There is still time for the government to make a balls of the initial stages as they are not over yet!!!!!
blanch152 wrote: » I can keep digging out posts where you blame FF/FG for the vaccine roll-out which turned out to be the second-best in Europe so far. Here is another one: Stop digging would be my advice to you. You look more and more silly each time you try and defend yourself.
blanch152 wrote: » And who organises this? Do you think Ministers are going around organising who gets vaccinated first? Some suspicions are not that much different to conspiracy theories. We had people complaining that "back-office" staff were getting the vaccine ahead of "front-line" staff. Turns out that the back-office staff were the administrators you meet when you turn up at A&E to sign-in - among the most vulnerable of healthcare staff to the virus as there has been no screening of patients done.

The reason why we couldn’t have any control at the airports is because the North refused to cooperate and everyone would fly in via Belfast and just cross the border!!! Day by day the absolute insanity of the Irish government’s position on international travel is becoming more and more apparent.

They are the ones rolling up sleeves, delivering the vaccine and so on. The FF/FG/Green government are the ones organised supplying it. They initially made a balls of it. You with me?

It was on both the UTV and BBC news programmes at tea-time yesterday. They also said they have been asking for information sharing regarding passengers arriving into the country and made reference to the passenger locator forms which no doubt nobody looks at, again they have got no response from Dublin.

Can you tell me which frontline workers make policy or organise the logistics of importing and purchasing the vaccines or organising the red tape required before vaccines can be used? If you can, I was talking about them. Alternatively if you can point to any policy makers who are risking their own health to ensure we get people vaccinated I'll praise them too.

“If you are planning on meeting elderly relatives [at Christmas], if you are planning on meeting other households now is not the time to be socialising with friends,” he said. On Friday, restaurants and gastropubs will begin reopening with restrictions in place. From 18 December, inter-county travel and home visitor restrictions will be eased allowing families and friends to gather at Christmas. This evening, Dr Glynn painted a one-or-the-other scenario facing the public as Ireland moves back to Level 3. “Obviously we will want people to celebrate Christmas in a particular way when the time comes but there are things they need to be doing now to keep themselves safe in advance of doing that,” he said.

The govt ignored that advice from NPHET, and the results of them choosing to ignore it can now be seen. Have you a link to Murphy's claims, or will I have to just take your word for it? However, this doesn't ignore the other claim you made (don't think you're getting away with that one either), people who took the government advice about it being ok to visit a pub or restaurant over Christmas are irresponsible. Are you standing over that comment yeah?
Deleted User wrote: » Paul Murphy claims that NPHET warned against opening of restaurants etc., in the lead up to Christmas, yet thought it ok to go out for a meal because the government, whose policies he continually criticises, said that it was ok. Hypocrite. Chancer. The difference between his utterances and yours is the better quality of his choice of words.

I was surprised to hear that the champion of the underprivileged, Paul Murphy, went out to a restaurant over Christmas.
McMurphy wrote: » Great, now we're getting to the nub of the issue. So, the government advised it was safe to visit restaurants and gastro pubs etc pre Christmas, so long as people exercised caution, and both they, and the businesses adhered to public health advice and guidelines. However, all those people who decided to take the government advice on board and visit a restaurant or pub, in accordance with NPHETs advice and guidelines are now irresponsible for doing so. To sum it up:,people ignoring the government guidelines are not exercising personal responsibility, and being irresponsible. People following government guidelines are being irresponsible too. Seems the lucky ones are the dead and no longer with us, as they're not sticking to, or ignoring govt advice, therefore they'll not be accused of being irresponsible or having a lack of personal responsibility. Do you ever sit back and read back the complete and utter shyte you type out Mary?

He's out in all media the last 10 days or more moaning about the Government relaxing restrictions over Christmas, saying it was the worst idea ever when he won't even take personal responsibility to not take full advantage of those relaxations. It's like if the purge was brought in and PM went out and murdered killed (forgot the plot of The Purge there for a sec) someone during the purge, then less than a fortnight later was jumping up and down being like "I can't believe all the people that were murdered during the purge. The Government is totally responsible for all of this!"
