Here is his full speech.All across Europe and much of the rest of the world, Covid-19 infections are on the rise.
I want to be straight with people, lay out all the facts as I have them, and explain the rationale for the decisions that your Government is making. As a result of this, we can see some evidence that these restrictions have been effective in slowing the growth and spread of the virus. When their recommendations come to Government, we are obliged to consider them and also weigh up the wider societal impacts of very severe restrictions. Restrictions have very real impacts, including on mental well being, capacity to treat non-Covid illnesses, unemployment and loss of income for families, and very significant social impacts, such as increased domestic violence and fewer child welfare referrals.
This is necessary because we cannot and will not allow our children and young people's futures to be another victim of this disease.The fact that we have been able to open our schools and keep them open is because of the extraordinary efforts of our administrators, principals, teachers, Special Needs Assistants, parents, childcare providers, cleaners, caretakers, and entire school communities.
This will allow persons living alone, parenting alone or similarly at risk of social isolation to pair with one other household as part of a "support bubble".There should be no social or family gatherings in homes or gardens, but visits on compassionate grounds and for caring purposes can continueRestaurants, cafes and bars will be permitted to provide takeaway services onlyEveryone in the country is being asked to Stay at Home, with exercise permitted within a 5km radius of your home.
DangerBonesA Compare his approach to Trump's approach. Ireland wins, America loses. Hello.
Unless you need an nct or need to go to school or.. etc etc
The picture says it all. Essential services (poor unfortunates) like those who polish and hoover the photographic hallways this ponce will walk through obviously won't get to stay home.
Can anyone explain the logic of these new measures? Business where you can only have max 4/5 people in at one time ❌ Building sites where you can have up to and above 100 ✅ School up to and above 1000 ✅ Weddings 25 ✅ GAA matches up to 70 ✅ I don't get it 🤷♂️
yeah i’ll try go with over 1000 students in my school and 30 people in my class❤️were immune during lunchtime ofc😍
But leave the Off-Licences open for the home partys !!
Suck on an egg...
Bet the Dail Ber is open though! Ye bunch of imbeciles
Putting us under house arrest you mean when the virus is clearly on the wane and you have a 1 on 12,500 chance of meeting someone defined as a soc-called 'case' using a procedure that throws up about 50% false 'positives'.
And what will be done over those four weeks to break this shitty cycle. European countries are all guilty of lies about the need for austerity. The virus can do it's worst because healthcare has been criminally underfunded for a decade or more. Wealth tax now!
Level 5 but airports still open..ferry ports still open...Shannon Airport still open but for what flights?...
Except childcare professionals, because f*ck those guys specifically! justiceforchildcareireland
MichealMartinTD merrionstreet Ppl are ‘being asked’ - good luck with that. I live in a place that’s been in lockdown for 8+ months, 700+ cases down to 2 (yesterday) - world beating practice - your unenforceable ‘restrictions’ are an absolute farce. Pathetic leadership
Lightyear_87 Great news that we won’t have Mary Lou tripping up to Northern Ireland for the next six weeks😄🇬🇧
You can’t visit family , you are told you cannot travel more than 5km, you are told you should stay at home but then you can go out to coach underage sport?
(except schools)
Seems very little learned from round 1. Number of people hospitalised or passing away is significantly lower and there are better therapeutics to treat COVID. Going to the MOST restrictive is a sign of “we are smarter than others” and “we are afraid to make tough decisions”.
2 weeks ago ye absolute eejit.
Ludicrous
Except the children who will mix in schools and come home to mix at home. Think head lice.
Stay at home but take the kids to school!
A whole smoke and mirrors cover up of how desperately fucked and inept our healthcare system really is and what the government have done since March to address it.
You read the big mans lines well tonight
Only if u will mehole 👍🏻
Don't take Covid tests anymore. It is not effective, and Govt is making poor use of this data. A few months one would need to show a series of symptoms to get tested. Now, one sneeze and you are getting a false positive in 24h. WE can stop this non-sense. NoToCovidTests
Beautiful speech, I cried with pride watching out compassionate leader. Millions of Irish lives will be saved
