Do we also have any idea what other modes of transport the infected and potentially infected people took after Dublin airport? Bus, train, luas, taxi? It has to stop at the airports, it’s totally irresponsible!
It’s time to take this more seriously if we have any chance of containing this. We need travel bans from infected countries, a log needs to be made of everyone who has travelled from those countries, that they are located and tested, how else to we control this!

We can't handle a snow storm in this country let alone a virus. Dr Bruce Aylwards recommendation at the WHO conference was to wash your hands and not to buy face masks. No declaration of a pandemic even though it has met the requirements already. Incompetence across the board.
Pretty worrying 😷
