Quite remarkable that the delay in the pre-travel test policy was commuicated by Aer Lingus and not the government itself – it formed a major element of the debate on MHQ last night and Stephen Donnelly (who is responsible for it) never breathed a word about any delay

This morning.
Via RTÉ News:
The Government has delayed the introduction of PCR and antigen testing for air and sea passengers arriving into Ireland by 48 hours.
The measure was due to come into force today, however an Aer Lingus spokesperson told RTÉ News that they were informed last night by the Government that the regulations will be delayed until Sunday.
The Government delayed the testing requirement in order to allow passengers and carriers to prepare for the measure.
A senior Government source said this would give more time, for example, for passengers to get a PCR test and result before travelling into Ireland.

Meanwhile…
Yesterday.
Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly announcing the new covid restrictions on travellers enetering the country. The vaccinated will need to be tested.
Now can we say the vaccine doesn’t work?
Absolutely not- it is the variants you see- it couldn’t possibly be an experiential mRNA never used on humans before.
Well, maybe we can agree that it does work, but it’s not really a vaccine – it’s kinda more like a drug that you have to keep taking, perhaps indefinitely.
Define ‘work’?
They don’t prevent infectivity because otherwise all vaccinated would remain negative and, even on it’s core promise of reducing serious illness and death, the efficacy wanes after a couple of months.
It only works protecting many from the worst symptoms but not all
Governments lied about that
We must live with this and sadly the health system has to cope with it
So it’s time the fear mongering stopped
You cannot sacrifice everyone’s livelihood by strangling the economy to save a health service that constantly has been seen as not fit
If it collapses so be it maybe what is reborn is a health service that’s fit for purpose
There is 7.2 billion people in this world and the stats say 230 million people have been infected
So if that’s 10% of those infected are sick then that’s 2.3 billion people
So as the numbers show we could be looking at another 3 years before it burns its self out
Similar to ”don’t come home for Christmas” but also ”here’s some special flights and ferries to get you home for Christmas” from last December, how do these utter gobdaws sleep at night, stealing an extremely lucrative living from taxpayers.
How do they sleep at night? Easy, because we all tolerate their sham governance and wholesale crookedness, (allegedly). Good moaning everyone. All you need is love, and a few bob to get by on.
Shocking governing. Donnelly was clearly aware of it last night but decided not to mention it.
Donnelly? A total waste of space.
He’s one of those lower middle mangers who has memorised all the corporate buzz words to regurgitate while doing PowerPoint presentations, but actually hasn’t a single original idea in his head.
Home to vax. Eff off.
