It’s believed the dog contracted the virus from its owners, who had previously tested positive.
Experts say there’s no evidence the animal was involved in the transmission of the disease to them, or that pets or other domestic animals are able to transmit the virus to people.

THis morning.
Restrictions on nighttime flights and a noise quota system are part of the plans for the operation of the new north runway at Dublin Airport
Via John Kilraine:
The proposals being put forward by the The Aircraft Noise Competent Authority (ANCA) are similar to those proposed by the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA).
There would be a complete ban on flights on the new north runway between midnight and 6am, apart from exceptional circumstances.
This would still allow flights during the busiest times at Dublin Airport, which are between 11pm and 11.30pm and 6am and 7am.

This morning.
Morning Ireland on RTÉ Radio One.
Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, Dr Mary Favier [Covid-19 advisor to the Irish College of GPs] said that despite soaring infection rates the health service is “holding steady, just”, but everything in the health system is under strain and said “we really do need to look at how we want to achieve things in the next number of weeks and into Christmas”.
She called for a return to social solidarity in the coming weeks, saying a peak in the current wave of infection might not happen before December.
Dr Favier said people need to look at how to manage social interactions and gatherings “and just try and do less in the next week or two”.
Anyone?

The Government is not actively considering a return to working from home full-time, the Minister for Health has said, adding that he has not received any advice from public health officials on this.

Lockdown Ireland is now baffled at how, even with very high vaccination rates, vaccine passports, masks everywhere and social-distancing their case rates are through the roof. They believe what they need are more of the above to fix the issue. Insanity.https://t.co/tiUAlrwKRh
