He said it is “very hard to question the advice, given that we don’t know the basis at which the advice was given. So you know, you can’t question logic if you don’t have the basis of that logic”.No clusters associated with pubs in Ireland When asked why all the documented international evidence has not been published as a matter of transparency, a spokesperson for the Department of Health said a wide range of documentation related to NPHET has been published.

Across Europe, several large clusters have been associated with bars and nightclubs, including some where dozens of people were infected.This week, Aberdeen in Scotland was put under lockdown again after a cluster arose at a pub in the city centre. It should be noted, different countries are at different levels than Ireland when it comes to Covid-19 numbers.TheJournal.
