Irish independent also have an article with consultant from Wexford General hospitial noting that some Covid positive patients in the hospitual were refusing to stay in their designated areas/ rooms in hospitial and wandering all around hospitial.

Guards also had to be called on one occasion.

Mad stuff altogether.

Was the funeral for a member of the travelling community?

This week compared to last.

8,121 less confimed cases
6618 less positive swabs
451 less in hospital
4 less in ICU
7 day positivity rate in testing has fallen from 10.8% last Friday to 7.4%

Can see why the NPHET chaps was all optimistic at yesterday's press briefing.

Presumably,there will be little more coverage or opinion...sub judice etc etc ?

EU trigger Article 16 without consulting Irish government. EU move designed to stop vaccines for EU being exported to other countries.

Sh1t just got real. Should really only be triggered in the event of a serious societal or economic threat. Tit for tat time.

I'd imagine Boris and co are delighted with this. Regardless of who's wrong. The Brexit crowd and DUP will distort the crap out everything.

Truth, if there was ever hope of such a thing, will be the first casualty.

This has the makings of a right auld clusterfck.

We live in hope anyway although a good few will probably still try to flaunt the rules.

EU really showing their colours. Grand for them to stop PPE leaving their countries when it was in bad need and for their own countries to make their own orders. They only gave the green light for the vaccine today and have the nerve to throw a hissyfit then az give vaccines to countries that has green lighted it 3 weeks ago.

They paid for the product / approval not relevant.

Once AZ meet their fixed supply commitment then there will be no problem exporting from EU

The Govt need to push the CS strategy. Put real targets on it and be willing to instigate stronger controls of need be.

So did the other countries who ordered PPE equipment and it was ok to stop those. Where was all this defense of it's citizens when italian citizens were left with dead relatives in their homes for days on end.
We don't know the full details of the contract, if it is best effort then best effort is is. Until today is was not even know if they would even use it.
Are the EU going to go after phizer in the US or other counties outside the EU to make up their shortfall.
