Ireland Headlines News

The Cabinet has heard that some early work is underway on legislation that could make mask-wearing compulsory again in certain settings

However, the move is viewed as precautionary and the legislation will not be introduced before the Dáil goes into recess next month.

All the regulations around mask-wearing expired when public health restrictions were lifted last February.Today's discussions are focused on having the option of reintroducing the regulations, if required, later in the year.Latest figures from 8am this morning report 751 people are in hospital with the virus, a decrease of 14 from yesterday's 765.

Speaking on his way into today's Cabinet meeting, Stephen Donnelly added that half of those in hospital with the virus have not been vaccinated.

Won't be wearing one!

BEING PEER REVIEWED THEY HAD TO BULLY THE INTO RETRACTING IT. ODD

Never again...I hope we find our back bone..

Thousands of miles away. Same unscientific propaganda

Wa NK er s

its not the MASKS its because of mass vaxxing w/a product that doesn't neutralize the virus get wise/strengthen immune system , approve anti virals like IVM hydroxy real fast

I think most people have realised that Covid was exploited by corporations to make more money and by governments to get more control. Get out and fight for the future of your children. We are in the endgame now

I won't be wearing a mask as its detrimental to my health. Remember my body my choice 😊 If liberal lunatics can use that to kill babies I can use it to keep myself healthy.

Total control.

Submission Masks will not work this time around rte spews, too many people know the truth

I will never ever wear a mask again in this sad country!!

Can you investigate into the dangers of masks Particles of plastic have been found in people's lungs which were never found before mask wearing I'm entitled as a human being to breathe fresh air, to try to deny me that is an abuse of human rights You are threading on thin ice

I refuse ! Who’s with me

You can put that mask up your ass, how about that?

The mask is useless at preventing viral transmission but vitally important to control us. so long as we're wearing masks it signifies we're in agreement with governments claim of the level of danger they say exists & therefor also in agreement with the draconian measures imposed

Will you be vaxing/medical evaluations on refugees and migrants and quarantine them before they enter ireland the same with tourists? No. Then why should the citizens who pay taxes be restricted?

Not a hope in hell.....what a waste of time even discussing such nonsense 🙄 ..

I won’t be wearing a mask again not a chance

Neurotropic viruses infect neurons and glial cells being a primary cause of neurological diseases. In some instances, non-neurotropic viruses may also infect the nervous system causing high morbidity and mortality. COVID

They can all feck off with any muzzle mandate.

Look . Try to mask us again. Try to mask our children if you have the balls. You just try it. It will be the last thing you do.

More bs

Nope not happening with this sh1te

Try it lads. I dare yeh.

Sigh, this drum getting banged yet again. This is just beyond tiresome, extremely wearisome & absolute nonsense. In the end, it will invariably happen, in order to pander to the minority hypochondria cohort that want it, throwing them a proverbial bone just to go away & shut up.

Didn’t wear last time, won’t this time as impossible to breathe properly wearing a mask. Also sad that ppl are still convinced this protects them in some way.

The auld vax uptake is after dying a death.. trying to force it on people again!!

i will never ever wear a mask again

There is no scientific evidence that masks work period - I hope everyone refuses to comply!

pity govt didn't listen & prioritise advice from johnwenger9 Orla_Hegarty rhysthomas jljcolorado and many more rather than squander goodwill.

Don't tell me what to do, don't tell me how to live my life I won't respond to you.....

scum

Where’s Luke o Neill with his scientific proof?

Who’s for Browne V Donnelly 2.

The game begins afresh, lockstep....Ukraine over, back to Covid The media are 🐍

The insanity of the few returns.

Cover your grill and Covid-19 will still kill!

If you not agree with mandatory mask wearing, join other business owners who will stand with you. These businesses are open to all, regardless of your ‘health’ status, or whether you are able to wear a face covering or not. nomasks nodiscrimination

Mask mandates shouldn't be reinstated: real-world data shows masks (incl N95s) are not even correlated with reduced cases. The virus spreads by aerosol. The masks don't seal Plus, they're often removed to eat drink chat smoke; worn under nose; and give a false sense of security

The Cabinet can jog on.

Mandatory means Fk all

Again you can’t produce one peer reviewed paper proving they work. Again you won’t print the ones like this that prove they don’t, you’re government puppets not journalists.

NEVER AGAIN.

Not a hope.

I'm not doing this again.

The evidence is showing that mask wearing makes Covid illness worse. There are studies from Israel and other countries this month that have shown that

NO WAY... Not happening

merrionstreet after 24months still do not understand how recommending masks is correlated to a lack of understanding data. DonnellyStephen

557m on C19 vaccines this year around 109 euros for every person on this island thought vaccines were around 22 euros No wonder there was 70 m unaccounted for in hse . Is there any questioning this is tax payers money

The politicos thread wearily. They know they went far too far last time, the tipping point is near. The house of cards will fail.

AaronM1987 Darren_Lav89 Buckle up, the ride isn't over.

You can shove your face diapers where the sun don't shine! DO. NOT. COMPLY!

Absolute 💩

We will not comply. NeverAgain

ASTI and INTO will get their second hysterical fit and your children will be wearing them in school again if you do nothing

Seems to me like it's only the vaxxed getting sick. Their immune system is shot. Tell them to stay at home and all will be well .....

It's all a complete and utter scam. The media are 100% complicit in this.

Masks are dangerous They are a Danger to your physical & mental Health STOP LYING RTE is the Propaganda machine for WEF elite evil Cabal Globalist Cult

Not going to wear one

🤡🤡😂😂

🖕

For the love of God when will this hysterical nonsense stop? We had compulsory masks, pubs and clubs shut, vax passports etc in January and possibly 500k cases in a week. Predicted Armageddon when restrictions lifted never happened. Except for the inflation crisis.

Ocionnaith There's a danger that if you 'cover your grill' the engine will overheat, as those who know about cars will tell you. philipnolan1 GerHerbert1

Couldn't give a flying fuck now I'm done with this.

The populace should force mask the quacks who promote them. This should be done in public squares.

No we’re not wearing them again and nor will I ever allow them on my children in school ever again

We’re not wearing them again. They don’t help. Get a grip.

Michael Martin statement last week Kinda giving you a hint

Absolutely not

These satanic scumbags are simply kite flying, they know they won t get the compliance again convid

IrishinEurVoice Wearing them on public transport, in pharmacies & medical appointments in Spain 🇪🇸.. and nobody makes a fuss

And Covid 19 trough gain of function research. The Plandemic was brought in to get ppl to take the vaccine which is clearly poison. Im unvaxed and im healthy and haven't had Covid once in 2 n a half years. I'll never take the vaccine, NEVER

Give me the key to that cabinet, so i can lock it shut.

It's for all EU countries !

everyone knew this was gonna happen and the pricks going away on holiday aint helping bringing it home with them

Why? They don't work!

Settings I won't visit and let them go out of business type settings

And cowards will go along with it, just say no and don't play along, last time was an embarrassment seeing people doing it despite no evidence it worked.

No.

The following will be delighted; 1. Folks wearing masks on their Twitter profiles 2. The 'experts' in ISAGCOVID19, especially the geneticist and the irish Culture lecturer 3. An architect 4. The masks for 9-year-olds club

Still not convinced the whole shit show is sinister?

They should never have changed. Masks should be compulsory in enclosed spaces.

You know how long masks have been in place for, anti-maskers so desperate for attention, they have to remind everyone how much of a ledge ball they are by telling us how they won't wear a mask. I bet they run with scissors just to feel dangerous.

When are people going to realise that mask wearing is a deflection technique for a dysfunctional health service? A reminder that it's 'all our fault' - pure political theatre with endless examples of its futility.

'Do something-ism'

No

You'll have to nail it to my face.

Won't be doing it.... it's not going to work this time round for you guys....

Gwaetgi Then maybe they can un-discuss it. Without informed consent they CANNOT force any medical procedure on anyone. The includes madkwearing.

Mass non compliance incoming

Can you please show me your personal research to show what you report from government is suggesting, works?

While snorkelling and scuba diving.

These politicians are buffoons. Paper from BMJ back in 2015. Cloth masks actually have worse outcome than the control AND there is almost no difference in laboratory confirmed infections between the control and surgical.

🥱🥱🥱🤣 give up rte. Are you not bankrupt yet? Propaganda msm! Sickens me. DO NOT COMPLY

Just say no !!!

Not happening

No

SamuelMcConkey1 is pulling the stomach out of himself at the possibility

Never wore one and I ain't going to start now.

Let’s see how that plays out in…reality.

Good luck with that one.

I will never wear a mask bring in whatever you want

''I would like everybody to be carrying some nice, good masks, clean masks in a little pouch in their briefcase, in their handbag or in their inside pocket.'🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Should never have got rid of them on public transport or shops

The government has taken your dignity without you even realising it. And many willingly wear the mark of that indignity.

Nope. Nope. Nope nope.

No

Once bitten twice shy, so fuck that.

For what

Hahaha this guy is top comment and has nothing absolutely nothing going on other than screaming he got vax and wears a mask. This is what a brain wash clown looks like, this is a mental illness, my own GP won't offer a vax to anyone under 70. That says a lot

Not for deaf people. We have difficulty in communicating with people who have MASK on!!!!

Needs to be opposed

donotcomply

The insanity continues, no proven benefit to wearing masks in public settings, they cause more harm to people's health & well being than good. But facts don't matter when you disagree with the big pharma funded MSM narrative

lot of evidence emerging that listening to government health advice leads to a much worst outcome... and no evidence ever mandates, prohibition, and other such human rights abuses have ever helped anyone.

🤣🤣🤣

And yet again is not actually questioning any of these unnecessary and unscientific ideas but reporting on them as of this is actually ok.

Never should have been dropped, ridiculous decision.

Nope.

Are people in this poxy country retarded that they need to be told what to wear and what to do. I am not wearing a mask no matter what legislation is in place. The entire country has to have had some strain of the virus Stop poisoning you bodies with vaccines and you will be fine

for the slow leaners

You can't trust a word out of his mouth.

I have no issue with masks, if I'm required to wear one then I will. I'm not sure they will do any good though, take Marlay Park last night, packed like sardines for hours, that's just one gig, if C is back we will know soon 🙄

NEIN !

Read the room👇

Still wearing masks, and many in Donegal.

Can we make it proper FFP2 masks instead of bits of material?

My Body! My Choice!

This is where this fiasco all falls apart

No.

They have no right to criminalise people for not covering their faces.People should not be under threat of fines,arrest and prosecution for showing their face. This is compulsory berka-taliban territory.

No Compliance

Il ware it again give the older generation a sense of safety. Even if it does absolutely d%ck all against protection from getting or spreading covid.

Covid is going nowhere, so it is going to be an issue for the foreseeable future. So people must now realise that if you accept these restrictions again then you are accepting them indefinitely!

Who in Ireland is actually currently “vaccinated”?!? Whose boosters are up to date without efficacy decay? Why is Donnelly allowed to peddle this misinformation without being pulled up on it ? Are kids still considered vaxed? Are under 80s vaxed without a booster?

No.

Ah how about no?

Total bollocks. Nonsense tokenism

No happing with me

But let's all wear the masks..

No, DonnellyStephen I won't be doing that, and now I'm worried that nobody in Government is actually looking at the scientific data .Masks.Don't .Work against this virus ,please stop pretending that they do. People in Government who want to be seen doing 'something'?

If mask wearing cant stop people catching Covid in a hygienic environment like a hospital, how in hell is a mask going to stop people catching Covid on a bus or train?

Must be still too early to start the work on improving healthcare settings. The real issue!

So the battle begins again 🙄 sick of this shit 😡😡

I'll happily wear a mask once the Irish government releases the stats to show that they made a difference when mandatory last time. Seeing as we all know they made no difference before, it would be madness to go again hoping for a different result

Ridiculous. Masks are not the answer.

A compulsory intervention which is proven entirely ineffective. More theatre and fear mongering to trigger the masses.

I'll NEVER wear one again. As someone who is hard of hearing and relies on lipreading to carry a conversation this is terrifying. It's a virus with a 99.98% chance of survival for anyone under 80 and they DON'T work. This is just pathetic.

Medical Propaganda on behalf of a captured government who funds the media.

The media is nothing more than Satan's whore. Trying to push fear and lies again.. The truth is coming out and EVERY ONE of ye will be held accountable.

They're in hospital WITH the virus, not from it. We're all vaccinated, unless this is something else that's coming that we plebs don't know about.

Just the beginning. What's next? Of course our media won't ask what studies they're basing this decision on. They've had 2+ years to show us 'the science'. All the data & studies pre-2020 + numerous studies post-2020 have shown masks are completely useless.

No way , people aren't going to do it

Donelly’s claim in your report that half the people in hospital with Covid are not vaccinated is directly contradicted by the CMO in the report below According to his figures none of the people in hospital from Covid are unvaccinated?

🤣🤣 Majority of ppl will not comply Obviously you will have a few dickheads that will!

I prefer a dab of holy water behind each ear myself. It serves no scientific purpose but neither does stupid masks so yeah- whatever.

Vax free here.Not buyin this utter bullsh1t.Hope the population of Ireland (including those who took 1st or 2nd jab)r startin2realise they've been duped&are startin2get ANGRY about this sh1t show & ensure the govt. doesnt make fools of us again! vaccineinjuries pfizerdocuments

This is not following the science, the CMO has previously stated that masks are pointless for a virus that is this transmissible. Its all about control.

No no no

Good luck lads

Half of those in hospital have no vaccine & yet legislation is being discussed “just in case”. Absolutely not wearing one again

what a load of bollix trying to get a job and let say i won't be getting one now if they do bring it back i guess business will start believing in discrimination all off a sudden

They did such a great job in the past 🤷‍♂️

But I thought 'My Body My Choice' was the current thing?

No thanks 🤬

No.

There was a time that I though stupidity or ignorance could be the explanation for repeated mandates which fly in the face of evidence-based science. More and more I am convinced that it is evil. Nothing more, nothing less.

Have a read

All the people who have been sick from their vaccines and boosters , landmark case in England of woman who successfully sued NHS because vaccine killed her partner.

Unless Tom Cruise is remaking 'Eyes wide shut' they can f**k off.

Ffs again? They don't do anything they've shown that

No thanks

every MSM outlet pushing this under orders from inner Gov to poke the people in the face always the same fucking reaction after a disastrous Red C poll they are baiting you, just snigger and ignore

LETS FOLLOW THE SCIENCE WITH ALL DUE RESPECT.

We have no need to see any reintroduction of any covid measures

LETS FOLLOW THE SCIENCE.

no.

Not going to happen.

LETS START FOLLOW THE SCIENCE. MASKS? Please follow the Science. Senate Health & Human Services. Stephen Petty's talk on COVID particles & masks. Certified Industrial Hygienist. The Science on Masks true effectiveness. Full

Government admitting that the vaccines are useless in other word’s

They can stick their masks where the sun don't shine. Our kids have suffered massively. People need to stand up together on this anti science rubbish. Enough reseach has proven there useless.

Over my dead body will my kids wear masks again! And I mean every word of that we are not going down that road again if people want to wear them let them but you can shove your compulsory effort up your backside! I WILL NOT COMPLY TO THIS TYRANNY!

Nah I'm going to leave it to the hypochondriacs like I did the last time 👍

Good news.

I'll go to jail before I ever wear a mask, under any circumstance, ever again. And I won't be the only one by far this time around.

Ah good. No harm

Won’t be wearing one they can fook right off

Gov under orders from the WEF 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

The day we actually stand up is the day we can change this country.

Mask wearing cultists and MSM terrorists are facilitating this. I will never participate in harming children

Funny it seems the UK is working on something similar rumor is it will be implemented by end of July 🤔 following the science I guess 🙄

We’re over this. Covid no longer presents a risk to society. I don’t see the point in doing this anymore. But if it is going to be compulsory, can we please educate people on how to wear masks correctly? Because it’s completely futile if people wear them under their nose, chin.

What scientists wear v what you want us to wear. Get real

“Donnelly added that half of those in hospital with the virus have not been vaccinated” Do you know what definition he is using for “vaccinated”. Are they counting twice jabbed but not boosted as “vaccinated” for his statement above? MichealLehane

Vaccinations working well then🤣

good, with heavy on the spot fines this time.

The cabinet heard fucking wrong so

…Same time France is talking about the same subject 🤔

Can the HSE or Irish state provide evidence that mask wearing will bring down the spread with the virus as I recall last winter where mask wearing was compulsory everywhere the spread of COVID was not stopped whatsoever.

Don’t even think about it. Never again

Good

not gonna happen, go on any rush hour bus or train in this country and anytime 95 percent do not wear masks, this is just more pandering to bed wetters

I’m not going to wear a mask again

No way ! I will not comply

Good. 👍

Excellent.

Pointless. The new strain is nothing more than a flu. The government want to use COVID to distract us from their incompetence again. It's a cushy topic for Leo to chat about.

Not happening end of. The game is up. Civil unrest.

That setting being undercover police work

Nawwwww. Not happening
