Varadkar wants to set 31 March as a deadline to end almost all legal Covid restrictions

TÁNAISTE LEO VARADKAR has told a meeting of the Fine Gael parliamentary party that he hopes all restrictions, including the domestic use of Covid passes for pubs and restaurants, will be lifted by the end of March.Varadkar noted we may have to keep some measures another while longer such as mask wearing in crowded places, staying at home when symptomatic and Covid passes for international travel.

Donnelly said he believes government will decide to move ahead with the easing of some the restrictions before the end of the month. He said that by and large, the government has got most things right which he said is evident from case fatality ratios, the number of deaths per million in population, the number of people in hospital per million, the percentage of people vaccinated and the impact on our economy and public finances.

But don’t be foolish, don’t move too quickly, in a way that causes risks,” he said.

Suppose after they lift all restrictions and scrap the covid pass, the covidiots will have run out of things to moan about and will disappear under a rock 🙄

Restrictions should be gone already. Say no people. March garden of remembrance Saturday.

I wish my friends had my back like Leo has Simon's.

This is great news

Varadkar looking for a poll bounce... Nothing more.

Always pops up to deliver “good news” doesn’t he. Absolute charlatan. Hiding behind taoiseach Tony ready to throw him under the bus. All clowns

Almost all

so is he keeping the illegal ones in place 😂

😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴

Here we go again - so sick of this shit.

Lol at people thinking this is over when half the world isn’t vaccinated yet

Can we set that as a deadline for his criminal actions? LeoTheLeak

Just keep the masks and the extend the Covid passes. Nothing else though

Excellent. Well done to all, not easy to manage... We've all done very well

Why not now

Excellent 👌

Does the virus know this

Meaningless tripe as usual

More spoofing for personal PR for Leo the Leak. 'Want to' means nothing. 'Will' does.

Would there be any chance whatsoever, that this man would shut up talking so I could enjoy my life. Please media please stop publishing everything this attention seeker says. I implore all of you.

Basically why politicians should not be charge of such decisions and instead independent public health officers with relevant expertise - people with actual professional experience in environmental medicine (goes beyond an ordinary medical degree).

Financial Year end

Masks need to go as well. The are uterrly useless
