Yesterday.

Fintan Dunne spoke to Cindy Connolly about her mandatory hotel quarantine experience.

Ms Connolly had travelled to Dublin from the UK to care for her 79-year-old father, James (top) who was released from hospital after suffering an adverse reaction to Pfizer’s Covid 19 vaccine.

She was tested negative for Covid-19 by the NHS but was told on arrival at Dublin Airport she needed a PCR test and was escorted by members of the Defence Forces and detained at the Croke Park Hotel.

Yesterday.

Dáil at the Convention Centre.

Independent Clare TD Michael McNamara forcefully argues against an extension of covid emergency laws.

Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly had earlier told the Dáil that the pandemic measures will only need to be extended “for a very short time” – from June 9 until November 10 or sometime in February 2022 ‘at the latest’.
