    RTE reporting that state has conceded for that man from Israel. Shouldn't have even had to take a high court challenge.

    Think it's only on case by case but yeah will need proper appeals system with chance of success. Otherwise there will be new case every other day.

    My issue is with the lack or recognition of fully vax passengers. All studies pointing towards highly reduced transmission.

    Quite shortly here fully vax people will not be considered close contacts either so you'd expect fully vax to be able to move inbound and outbound without being impeded

    There is also mixed messaging with that article i linked saying one thing by the HSE about transmission and on the other hand fully valued not being considered close contacts

    The lack of consistency is annoying

    I think once EU has common system it will solve that but would still be an issue for countries outside EU unless there is a global system.

    I wonder under what are the grounds they are waiving requirement to stay at the MHQ, I presume it must be because they're both fully vaccinated and therefore are low-risk

    It really looks like the government are terrified of this going to court.

    I'd have a good guess it's because the state knows the high court will rule against the state in these cases

    So if they know that, is it because these two are vaccinated or is the whole MHQ under threat?

    You’d have to imagine anyone will challenge now. Maybe the fact Israel is off the list next week helped?

    Wonder will the state continue to concede? (such as the Dubai two). They are terrified of this being challenged constitutionally.

    Nearly 2000 of the hospitalised cases since the end of December acquired it in hospital.
    What % is that of overall hospitalisations?

    That makes no sense. the vaccine is for much better reasons than travel.

    It's not a vaccine then , it shouldn't even be called a vaccine

    The MHQ appears to be a threat to leinster's bid for their 5th European title. Its reported there are no exemptions for professional sports people. Leinster must play a French team in the semi final. So the French must quarantine here before the game or leinster will have to quarantine on their return and possibly miss a final.

    Maybe leinster will have to move any home semi final to UK or Belfast.

    The irfu are considering moving the womens 6 nations v France to Belfast.

    Id say an exemption will be granted for both. Where had you seen about IRFU out of curiosity? Hadn't seen that

    I mean since the end of December 2020.

    If we count back to the start of the pandemic there would be a lot more Hospital Acquired cases than 2000.

    Donnelly on the wireless there giving a little extra waffle of “all in this together” ahead of tomorrow’s travel restrictions to within the county.
    We are going to have to tattoo our foreheads when we are fully vaccinated yet the way these bumbling clowns are going.
    Sick of the fcukin lot of it

    There were 5875 hospitalised up to Dec. 26th

    So whatever the difference between the two figures is what you want
