Dublin city centre last May

This afternoon.

All customers will be required to give their name and phone number for contact tracing purposes. This is a change from previous rules, where just one person per table had to provide such details.

This means that restaurant and bar operators will have to keep two information sheets at the door: One for contact tracing and a second anonymised list where they will tick a box to show that all customers at each table have been checked for their vaccination or recovery status.

Businesses will use a digital scanner to check a person’s status. This scanner can be downloaded to a staff member’s phone, or device, from this evening.

It will show green or red to prove that a certificate is not forged. It will show a person’s name, but not their date of birth or any other details, and the information will not be stored.

The official Digital Covid Certificates are the only documents that will be accepted. Cards from GPs or vaccination centres, showing a person is vaccinated, will not be accepted.

Omagh Town, where a Real IRA car bomb killed 29 people, including a woman pregnant with twins, on August 15, 1998

This morning.

Via RTE:

A High Court judge in Belfast has found there was a “real prospect” the Real IRA attack in Omagh in 1998 could have been prevented.

Mr Justice Horner told Belfast High Court:

“I am satisfied that certain grounds when considered separately or together give rise to plausible allegations that there was bombing.

“These grounds involve, inter alia, the consideration of terrorist activity on both sides of the border by prominent dissident terrorist republicans leading up to the Omagh bomb.

“I am therefore satisfied that the threshold under Article 2 ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights) to require the investigation of those allegations has been reached.”

Professor Philip Nolan, chair of the Irish Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group

This morning.

Morning Ireland on RTÉ Radio One.

Professor Philip Nolan said he believes people have forgotten how easily the virus spreads, adding “we’re simply getting too close”.

Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, he said “we cannot let the disease run riot” and people will need “to be careful around this virus for some time”.

There has been a four-fold increase in cases, he said, and “where they go next really depends on what we do over the next few weeks”.

He said, however, that if the levels of infection are allowed to build up to very high levels, “we’re going to be in real trouble”, and warned against “the vaccinated feeling inappropriately bulletproof“.
