Image: Leah Farrell Image: Leah Farrell IT IS AN important day for the next phase of reopening as the National Public Health Emergency Team will meet this afternoon.
The body will decide the advice it will give to Government ahead of the planned easing of restrictions on Friday. Almost all remaining Covid-19 restrictions are due to be lifted on 22 October but a recent rise in cases numbers and hospitalisations has thrown the plan into doubt.Government has already indicated that the requirement to show a Digital Covid-19 Certificate in hospitality settings to prove you’ve been vaccinated is likely to be extended beyond Friday.Poll Results:

Why is all trolls say yes and real people have balanced views?
Yeah
Yes they should be.
No
dispandNphet dispandISAG
No!
Is it a forced vacation or not. ? Anyone explain what chemicals. Are in the vaccine ? Can you legally lose your job and civil rights when not vaccinated?
No
Absolutely NO
No
Bollox to this government and their covid
No we should go back to level 5 lockdown
amiebaby3691 Yes, of course.
We need to continue to taking NPHETs advice, they are seeing the live data and how it corresponds to the modeling. It may not be ideal but it's what we've got.
No
Not all I would think.
drjaneholland Open everything and disband nphet Also hse needs to sack Paul Reid and get someone who can do a reasonable job.
No
Yes
Yep.
No
Ireland needs a CLEAN sweep of YOU all,Fake Journalists,,,Media NPHET,,,,Government,,,in fact the COMPLETE DAIL
I don't know what to think anymore.
Do you mean “just let people die”?
No, and they should actually look at the changes made in Sept that caused this increase and go back and adjust those to make them safer.. IE contact tracing for vaccinated and in schools. Better ventilation requirements in buildings. We need additional measures + vaccines.
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes absolutely yes yes yes yes yes
Those who support vaccine passports have been infiltrated by communist ideas.
no
Yes! Let's follow bright boy Boris Johnson's If Not Now, When? Plague Island covid plan. If we can't have retraumatised healthcare workers, a rake of damaged unvaccinated kids, and at least 1,000+ people dead just in time for Christmas - it's just not a meaningful winter yanno?
Don't really mind the masks or passport but they should get rid of the 11.30 closing times and this is coming from non drinker.
No. Fucking. Way. If you know your behaviour is killing people, and you still do it, you're responsible for those deaths.
Yes
Yes they wanted us vaccinated we got vaccinated, they wanted certs we use them, we wear masks everything the government has asked most have done it’s time to stop this now and open up otherwise what was the point of vaccination?
Why on earth would we blindly follow the policies of UK...Surely this graph shows which country's policies we should looking to copy here in Ireland?
Yes
yes, but asking people to show their covid certificate. there is no reason to keep Ireland with those restrictions while the majority is already vaccinated
Yes, as we learned already, lockdowns or restrictions don't matter, people have had enough, how about living with it...as we already are...
No. It would be a farce.
Remove NPHET
The vaccine is not protecting people as it should, as hoped,a false sense of protection in the vaxxed is aiding the spread of the virus
So we are locked down for xmas for the sake of night clubs. How about no.
No. Numbers too high. 900,000 under 12s still need protecting..
No It seems very premature
Yes and give nphet the boot while they are at it
Yes
No
So 60% of ppl want covid rules to go on longer. Do most ppl just want them forever and if so why?
💯 %
Well if now then when?, cos I'm sorry to break it to the covid Karen's and lockdown mob, but even 100% of the country quad jabbed doesn't mean cases will go away and neither will covid. We were warned not to rely on vaccines as the silver bullet or use lockdowns to beat covid
No.
Only if we want to be in lockdown again for christmas.
We should remove NPHET and investigate what exactly they've achieved. We have more dead with Covid in August September and October 2021 than in 2020. They are ineffective and incompetent. disbandNphet
Forever yes
I think it's time that we bill the unvacinated adults, for Covid - 19 related hospital stays. They opt not to get vaccinated, so let them pick up the related tab, if they get Covid. Once that's brought in, then open everything back up.
Dunno about all, but you can't keep in lock down for ever. Humans must face this virus, as prepared as possible.
Yep... but it won't because official Ireland doesn't do u turns while admitting fault
If you cant open up fully with 90% of people vaccinated despite whatever numbers they float around, its seriously fucked up. Wait and see the emigration rate rocket up next year.
Yes yes yes no is following rules anyway
I think they should get rid of the government
Personally I'm not bothered about nightclubs but if they are to open then it should be with a vaccine pass system. Keep 😷 mandates in all indoor settings too for the winter
Open up with masks and certs.
No's leading my an overwhelming margin at this point
Hospital capacity is the issue. No need to place restrictions on us just because of failed governance and missed targets going back 10+ years.
Yes. If any one wants to put blame for hospitals been overrun blame FG. They are in power for years and have not increased capacity or staff.
yes remove all covid 19 restrictions. why would they go back on their word?
No it should not.
Save Christmas at any cost.
Absolutely not
Just over a quarter of capacity of hospitals being taken up by covid patients. 25%. Open up the country.
What restrictions?
Keep the masks and vaccine passports but open everything.
“Just 11 ICU adult beds and one paediatric ICU bed were available in hospitals across the State on Sunday night as Covid-19 patients accounted for more than one-quarter of total capacity” Irish Times.
Yeah absolutely, we have to at some stage so why not now 🤔
Please don't b doing the awful journals silly polls lads
I think they should definitely open up the nightclubs, concert venues and return football stadiums to 100% capacity, but everyone over 18 has to provide an immunity certificate.
Not until it's safe to do so and the over 300,000 unvaccinated get vaccinated.
