Why is @SuperValuIRL objecting to a school cycle route in Deansgrange? We’re talking about a cycle route specifically designed to enable *children* to cycle to *school*. https://t.co/5LdTethBlz

Who’s the “we” in this not needing an extra route? It’s almost as if there’s an assumption that people on bikes magically can fly to bike lanes.
How can kids cycling get to Newtownpark ave schools from near rochestown ave? There’s no safe bike lanes from Deansgrange to Newtown

This afternoon.
Weekly HSE covid briefing.
Dr Steevens’ Hospital, Dublin.
Health Service Executive CEO Paul Reid said
“it’s never too late” to register to receive a Covid-19 vaccine, as he urged those who have not yet received a vaccine to come forward.
“Today I would like to make a very specific and clear call to those who have not yet come forward for vaccination. The first message is very clearly, be assured, vaccinations are working.
“The evidence is extremely strong, in terms of reduced illness, reduced hospitalisations coming through, reduced ICU admissions, and indeed, reduced mortality.”
Meanwhile…
He said the programme continues at pace, with a priority now to vaccinate those in the 12-15 age group. Mr Reid said that 124,000 people in this age group had signed up so far, with 72,000 having been administered with a first dose.

#UPDATE A Spanish court on Thursday lifted a #coronavirus curfew imposed on most of Catalonia, including the capital #Barcelona, leaving it in place in just a fraction of the northeastern region https://t.co/qygeyWFSxe pic.twitter.com/1iT77lyIGq

This afternoon.
A Spanish court on Thursday lifted a coronavirus curfew imposed on most of Catalonia, including the capital Barcelona, leaving it in place in just a fraction of the northeastern region.
Catalonia’s government in mid-July imposed a nightly curfew between 1:00 am and 6:00 am in most municipalities to fight a surge in virus cases, and the region’s top court then gave the green light to extend it three times.
But on Friday, faced with a request by the regional government to keep the curfew in place in 148 municipalities, the High Court of Justice of Catalonia said the measure was “not justified” in 129 of them, because infection rates there had improved.
