“All Hands On Deck”

at

This morning.

Dublin Castle, Dublin 2.

Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly arrives for a cabinet meeting to discuss covid restrictions.

Via Irish Examiner:

Mr Donnelly said he expects the use of Covid-19 booster vaccines to be extended significantly as the evidence for boosters is “incredibly strong”.

In addition to extending boosters to those aged 50 to 59, shots are also to be approved for thousands of people under the age of 50 who have underlying conditions.

Mr Donnelly said that it is “all hands on deck” in rolling out the booster shots.

Meanwhile…

The meeting of the Cabinet’s Covid sub-committee heard significant criticism of the HSE from ministers over delays in the booster campaign, and Defence Minister Simon Coveney offered the use of the army to aid in the battle against the current surge.

    Its mad to think they have no exit strategy, if they hadn’t taken the fear porn route maybe they might be able to back peddle, but now its a case of “just keep digging”
