Speaking to Virgin Media News earlier, he said such moves would be dependent on the advice offered by the National Public Health Emergency Team when it meets on Thursday.Donnelly said if the advice from the public health experts allows for the easing of restrictions, the government will “move as quickly as we can”.

“What I want to see, what we all want to see, is the quickest possible return to normal life and the the lifting of all of the restrictions where possible,” he added, stating that it has to be done in a safe and balanced way. Separately, Minister of State for Public Procurement and e-Government Ossian Smyth said there are no plans for the use of the Digital Covid Certificate updated with booster shot information to be used domestically in areas such as hospitality.

Am sitting here with my 95 yr old father in law in a HSE audiology clinic ,got given out to twice that we were too early for the appointment( 1.46 for 2pm) even though we are the only ones in the large waiting room, the sooner these restrictions are gone the better.

Having a divided family re vaccines\\passes I'd like to believe DonnellyStephen smytho that vaccine passes will be gone but I won't believe it till it happens. No matter what one's position on vaccines\\passports is, the growing authoritarianism of govs over the world is scary.

Ceremony marks handover of power to first Irish govtToday marks the 100th anniversary of the formal handover of power by the British to the incoming Provisional Irish Government. How can anyone who calls themselves Irish entertain this farce? Disgusting and heartbreaking all at once. Using violence to achieve unity must never happen again....ever. However Ireland is not independent. Part of it is but the aim of the people from Wolfe Tone to Michael Collins is yet to be fully realised. Build a new Ireland, where all its children are cherished.
