Taoiseach Micheál Martin
Asked if we’re into Level 5 restrictions until at least after Easter, Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD tells @MorningIreland ‘We are looking at a continuation of high levels of restrictions to the easter period. That remains to be determined by Government.’ https://t.co/Ym4sl7FSeM pic.twitter.com/pDbOIyg0Po

This morning.
Via RTÉ News:
On international travel, Mr Martin said the arrival of a new variant has given an added momentum and importance to the issue of border controls, which are important to delaying variants entering the country and reducing their transmission.
He said that with the move towards a mandatory quarantine, countries will be added to the list, and later today 20 other countries, including sub-Saharan Africa and the UAE, will be considered with regard to mandatory quarantining.
Mr Martin said people should not be undertaking non-essential international travel, which is a breach of Level 5 restrictions.
He added that Ireland has to think beyond mandatory quarantine as “otherwise in the medium- to long-term we end up as prisoners in our own country”.
Asked about the ban on inter-county GAA matches, he said this will be looked at again.

This morning.
“Travellers are coming down very significantly. It’s down to quite low levels now in the last weekend.
“The majority would appear to be Irish people who went to went on holidays during the Christmas period … we need to clamp down on that.
“That is in itself a violation of the Level 5 regulations that we have in place.”
Taoiseach Micheál Martin announcing Level 5 will continue to March 5…
So there.
Taoiseach confirms extension of restrictions to 5 March (RTÉ)
Level 5 restrictions: More restrictions now being considered to reduce COVID PCR test results. One of the suggestions is a 6pm curfew because we all know Covid wears a watch and won’t attack after a time determined by NPHET. https://t.co/HzOrAaRQej

As Covid cases continue to rise in France, the French government introduced a curfew that varies in different areas. For some regions the curfew begins at 8pm, but in recent days certain parts of the country are under curfew from as early as 6pm….
FIGHT!
Thanks Alan Bracken
