In an indication of problems with vaccine distribution in Mayo, Belmullet GP Dr Keith Swanick tweeted earlier on Wednesday that “a practice in a neighbouring village received 420 Covid vaccines last week instead of 42. Myself and the other practice in Belmullet still await our allocation. Our patients are being disenfranchised. Who’s in charge of this process. We need answers?”
Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly said that he had contacted the HSE during the course of the meeting to ascertain what the issues and hold-ups were. He told colleagues he would revert to them as soon as he received the information. Earlier, at the Fine Gael parliamentary party, meeting, attendees were warned that the public was losing confidence in the Government and would not put up with the current Coalition much longer.
Mr Ring said the Government had caused confusion with mixed messages. He described the Government as having had a “bad few weeks” and said: “We have a problem.”Party leader and Tánaiste Leo Varadkar told the meeting recent criticisms of the Government’s communications around Covid-19 were “justified” and would be taken on board.
Sources at the meeting indicated former minister for housing Eoghan Murphy said people are breaking restrictions with a different “intent” than previously as if to say, “Government be damned”. He is understood to have warned that the next six weeks will be marked by frustration from the public.
Only a week and a half ago he said different. What changed?
Why not before this? MichealMartinTD what is the scientific evidence of keeping us all within 5km if we observe all other guidelines ie 2 meters, wear masks , etc, etc....
Another flip flop
Who cares
This man and his cabinet are completely disconnected from society. Focused on hospital numbers while completely ignoring other harms being done in general society.
Anything now to improve his approval rating and try to rescue his dead FF party. Too late pal.... you have lost the room!
🥱
I have the right to go where I want when I want. I find it abhorrent that because people handed their freedoms over so easily because they were afraid that this man now believes he owns these freedoms. He doesn't. We want them back.
These are your rights, not the governments to give as they see fit.
The know damn well that even the bedwetters arent adhering to this dumb rule.

Let FF back in power, sure what’s the worst that could happen.
Absolutely preposterous that it was banned in the first place
It shouldn't be here now, it's a joke, when you see Dundalk full off northern registered vehicles👎👎
No longer interested in the drip feed of information coming from Michael. The cynic on me sets he is just reacting to the poll numbers. Zip it unless you are going to stand in front of the people to deliver your message.
For godsake just let people back to work
The people of Ireland indicate that's this government is Shite and they should take full advantage of the end of lockdown and fuck rite off!! 😁😁
They should be ready to move faster to relax restrictions. They position on construction is particularly harsh.
This is interesting - timevthis govvwere challenged more forcefully on their erosion of our basic human rights
He obviously saw the Irish Times poll, The worse Taoiseach ever In the running
Weird idea by ronan_glynn and CMOIreland that INDOOR in school classrooms are LESS risky to community virus spread than OUTDOOR sports. Proves we're being lied to and science is WRONG WRONG WRONG! ILLOGICAL On March 1st you potentially join 100's of other family's bubbles. 👍
It's too late I've already given up hope for lent!!!
Why didn’t he say that in his TV announcement yesterday?
Yesterday he said the total opposite. Lord but he's entirely unsuitable to be Taoiseach.
Ahhhh FFeck off with this. Yesterday in the press conference he specifically said he wasn't going to give any dates anymore. They will kill people with this shit, irresponsible and reckless communication..
He must have read the latest polls and now trying to back track
FFGOut
Is it finally getting through to this so called Government and Nphet that people are no longer going to accept this lockdown or any more lockdowns that has brought the ordinary workers and businesses to their knees. The know now that the people have had enough so the end is near.
Are we supposed to be grateful for the crumbs he offers? He needn’t bother as I will be doing that and more anyway from next week.
Trying to appease all the people he’s pissed off by releasing this statement. Does he really think we’re f**king idiots? He needs to go and soon.
The penny may be dropping but it's too little too late
Eased People are dying. We need to move away from events, sports gatherings permanently. It's just too unsafe, there will be more pandemics. We need to move everything online, a permanent lockdown to savelives google classroom should be the ONLY classroom from now on
sportireland stop complying with tyranny
