Ireland Scraps Almost All Covid Restrictions
From this weekend, Irish pubs, restaurants and other hospitality outlets can return to normal operations, and customers will not be asked for to show a digital Covid pass, Taoiseach Micheal Martin has announced. Sky News has more.
The Irish government has agreed to lift almost all coronavirus restrictions from tomorrow – in a move attributed to the passing of the peak of the Omicron wave, and the country’s high vaccine uptake. …
Some rules will continue, however. The requirement to wear face masks is being retained, until at least the end of February, and a digital Covid pass will still be required for international travel.
Self-isolation will remain in place for symptomatic people.
Ireland has now passed the peak of its fifth wave of COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic.
With one of Europe’s highest vaccine uptakes, and a stabilised hospitalisation rate, the National Public Health Emergency Team felt able to advise the Government there was no longer a public health rationale to keep restrictions.
Health Minister Stephen Donnelly said the government was “very, very conscious” of older and vulnerable people who had concerns about a full reopening, but said it was all about “finding a balance”.
The minister said he expected an increase in case numbers in the weeks ahead, but added that the health system had proved it could handle it.

Ireland being led to the promised land by Boris Johnson….
Here’s hoping that Dripford and Krankie see sense and follow suit, that both England and Ireland are not being led down the garden path and that this is not yet another nasty gaslighting exercise.
Edit: the infernal face nappies are staying, so it isn’t over yet.
Their dream of being Totalitarian Dictators fades ….for now.
Nah. It’s a reverse ferret by Fauci and Pharma. Mid terms looming in US, release of FDA Pfizer docs imminent, vaccines proved useless, inflation zooming and safety signals increasing,
Let’s hope it’s not the promised land of digital health passes. They are proving to be uncomfortably sticky. Will they ever disappear for travel?
And until testing and isolation disappears altogether there is no reason why when the next variant appears, and it will, all the measures will be brought back in, you know just to be sure, until we can ascertain how dangerous it is, blah di blah di blah..
I’m not fully buying the line that Johnson is against all this just yet.
Wait for the words: With a heavy heart/all in this together/one more push/etc.
Some would say we had the promised land to begin with – but then Johnson decided to lead us all on a trip to covid la la land for 18 months before bringing us all back to the promised land again – exactly where we were to begin with and should have remained.
Overall cost of Johnson’s Covid Magical Mystery Tour … £400 billion.
And numerous suicides
And destroyed Businesses as demanded by Black Rock and Vanguard to help further enrich the super rich.
And untold numbers of other health deaths.
Johnson was told to Break the Bank to help bring on the Fincial Digital Reset – they are still working on it.
Well well well Grorynge be as my sainted mother used to say!
What next ? Obviously George Soros has given my homeland answer hreak
‘as my sainted mother used to say’: stupid text predictor!
Turn it off, then.
So no anger, no incredulity about how such things can be immediately cast aside. This is the real issue. The psychological torture and now they have the brass neck to switch it off. Are you just going to go along with it?
Oh, there is some anger, but it is from those who have been angry all along. They can turn our freedoms on and off like a tap and the Covidian faithful will always find some way of rationalising it.
Intended, or not, this is all psychological torment. It needs to stop. Not just stop, it needs to be somehow put right. The puss needs to be expelled, and the wound healed. We need a bloody good collective shaking to our senses. We need to finally wake from our stupor. We are at a fork in the road. This (the way we operate) is serious.
It’s so much easier to go on a march or protest in a city centre once in a while on a Saturday to do some virtue signalling rather than really confront those who are making ‘the rules’.
I would be very very wary of jumping to the conclusion that this is the beginning of the big wind down.
There are some very hideous things still in place. Covid passes for travel, mandated isolation, compulsive testing and of course masks.
We are not even close to treat this thing, whatever it is, like we treat the flu or the common cold.
Pleased that things are lifted but yes, total incredulity and anger at NPHET and our spineless government for what we have unnecessarily endured for 22 months.
Not spineless, obeying WEF orders …see New Zealand where Arden, Schwab’s ‘mental’ pupil in charge is destroying the country .
Gates spent time at Downing Street early on and was ‘in touch’ by phone.
More sops to try and save Boris…
He is “beyond help”.
“The requirement to wear face masks is being retained”: good old Ireland, the show must go on. Masks are the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace, as heretics say, almost.
Imbecilic. They must take turns sharing the one brain cell between them.
Control!
If you do just go along with it then never speak to me again. Your lives will be fucked up for generations. Don’t fucking talk to me.
Meantime in the Daily Fail: Everyone get ready for imminent new COVID-19 variant sniper attacks. This new stealthy variant they haven’t dreamed up has not only mutated physiologically, it has developed alarmingly high levels of intelligence. It’s grown a fu*king brain. This stealth variant is not like the others, it has mutated past being simply motivated by robotic electro-chemically charged instincts. It has mutated an intellect. It is not yet fully known what mode of new contagion this stealth variant will adopt. But fear not, graduates of grievance university courses and Daily Mail journalists are keeping an eye on it. In my estimation this intellectual stealth variant will create an electronic means of transporting itself between hosts. It will seek out computers and electronic devices and make these their operational bases. Then the virus molecules will transport themselves from person to person by piggy-backing on emails, text messages, et al. From people’s electronic devices, it will undoubtedly conquer all of mankind. Unless we take the vaccine, of course. And allow government unfettered access to our devices to check for this stealth variant. In the meantime, turn off and unplug all electronic devices. And… Read more »
Until all the nasty, despotic legislation is taken off the statute books and those who are responsible for countless deaths are held to account, this is nowhere near over.
“Held to account” It would bust all records for TV audiences to watch them squirm …and then… the ‘ultimate penalty’?
Surely this is good news? If the virus can grow a brain …. then it has to be at least theoretically possible that our leaders could grow a brain. Maybe this actually gives us something to cling on to?
I think I understand what you mean, even if this new stealth variant attempts negotiate a peace settlement with the government, Boris and Javid are to thick to parley with it?
Even cats will not urinate on copies of the “Daily Mail”lining their trays!
David,
Did you see an item where researchers in – I think – Yale uni were studying the contents of the local sewage outlet to determine if the feces contains WU flu.
My first thought this was a waste of time as they were just going through the motions.
“older and vulnerable people who had concerns about a full reopening”
What are their concerns? … That full reopening will emotionally compel them to plop down in the local pub and inhale deeply, repeatedly and strongly – praying that someone’ll walk in and cough in their face?
We used to scorn hypochondriacs.
Now everyone is expected to be one and those who aren’t are treated like insensitive, anti-social beings.
Heh. IMHO, it began about 60 years ago with the rise of psychologism. Now, everyone’s entitled to be a victim of something. Also, it’s socially improper to criticize someone’s behavior.
The youngest generations don’t know what “the Sixties” (or “Mod”) means.
They need to look in the mirror. The mindset’s entered our cultural bedrock.
I am older and vulnerable and I have no such concerns! Whatever excuses you wicked lockdown zealots use for your bullying, don’t ever pretend you’re doing it for me. My concerns are for the damage you bastards have done with your hysterical lockdowns, masks, and fearmongering. Fuck off and leave me alone.
My sarcasm was easy to mis-take. I’m hardly a lockdown or masker type.
These people were ‘created’ by the government ongoing scare propaganda.
so easy to fix – just start to reassure people
The know the game is up.
The question is, what information have they all learnt about since the new year?
Exactly so.
They glimpse the shark-of-reality, and are hopelessly thrashing about.
Nothing. Very little has changed. They just know people’s patience is wearing thin after having jumped through so many hoops and they need to throw a few bones at us before they start twisting the screws again.
Perhaps more people are dying or are seriously ill after the poison jab than they can possibly keep the lid on?
The countries with high vaccination rates can now ease up, their job is done. Now up to time and 5G to finish the job.
5G – the first casualties are due surely?
Too late motherfuckers you have already caused an avalanche of suicides. Don’t think that any of this will ever be forgotten.
Bloody hell. What a completely out of control mess this is. Different bunches of goons playing mix’n’match left right and centre.
Why are we humans so comprehensively bloody useless and self destructive?
It genuinley messes with my head.
Gullible sheep who watch the BBC and believe what politicians say are really to blame for all this.
There sre still millions of them out there!
Fifth wave!?
Amateurs! Spain says it’s on its sixth wave!
I wonder is it a “stealth” variant, like the one they are currently dreaming up for the UK.
Nah, it’s just “Omicron”, the tsunami of covid waves…
Except is a bit of a rubbish tsunami as it doesn’t seem to killing too many people.
Stewart,
Oh no! T
Not Mikey Mann’s hockey stick again
It occured to me early this AM … there IS a viable explanation for a (cough) ‘Global Conspiracy’ being behind this covid totalitarianism.
How many of you have heard of Richard Cloward and his wife Frances Fox Piven? The “Cloward-Piven strategy” of the late 60s?
Fewer will know that it was actually put into effect in the US. The NYC bankruptcy in 1975. The “motor voter act” signed by Clinton in 1993 (with Cloward & Piven standing behind him as he did.)
I have no proof, but the C-P concept can very easily encompass the deliberate hamstringing of everyday society, in order to destroy it and force a reconstruction.
Who would do so? Bill Ayers and company in Chicago, who groomed Obama and successfully ran him. George Soros, who wasn’t part of Ayers’ “Alinsky Machine”, but who worked hand-in-glove with them.
Whoever they are, you won’t find them on the stage at Davos. They’ll be strictly behind the scenes, and might not be at Davos at all.
UK and Ireland branch offices of the NWO government structure are letting the plebs out to play, for now. Respiratory disease is cyclical, and a good year is usually followed by a bad year. So just wait until the flu/pneumonia deaths bounce back next year and it will all be labelled covid again – and we will be locked up ‘for our safety’. They have tried the global freezing yarn, peak oil (on repeat), the global warming scam, the great climate change swindle, cow farts mean UK cities under the sea by 2020, food wars, the swine flu fake pandemic trial run and now the covid hoax – which so may fell for, they arent going to let that one go, not ever. They will milk this vast deception for all its worth, at least until people wake up from their mass hypnosis, or find themselves back in the Stone Age with the elite behind these scams owning every single asset on earth – including the shirt on your back. But don’t worry, the WEF private members club (who really rule us) say you will own nothing but you’ll be happy! And they will make sure of that by constantly… Read more »
Trying to stop this feels like frantically trying to wake up a room full of people with narcolepsy.
But but but if the jabs make you infertile, the sheep will finally die out, and the only people having babies will be the pure bloods who will then take over the world. Eventually.
We need to stop calling these fat tapeworms “the elites” for a start.
Resist: Join the World-Wide Freedom Rally Protests this Saturday / Sunday

Most but not all restrictions have been lifted. So they can be re-introduced at the drop of a shalaylee. Don’t trust them.
Those who have even half a brain left don’t trust them. The Covidian faithful still think they have their interests at heart.

Klaus Schwab talks about galvanising the anger. Are we really going to let it slide into that. I think they very well intuit that the clot shot will provide a schism. Our job is to ensure that it never does. We don’t think in those terms instead we think in terms of bringing those bastards to justice.
Schwab and co aren’t idiots. They’ve been crafting a plan to save their asses since the financial crisis, when they realised unless they did something drastic the pitchforks would coming for them sooner rather than later.
The Occupy Wall Street people trying to storm Jamie Dimon’s apartment was a wake up call for the global oligarchs.
And the best they could come up with, the psychopaths that they are, was The Great Reset. i.e. take all our shit and enslave us. And we’ll be happy, or so they tell us.
Hey, the advertising industry has been applying the technique of simply telling us stuff is great even when it’s patently crap or really not good for us. Why wouldn’t it work for the Davos club.
Hold on… hold on Monkey… it’s not your show…

The Advertising industry are too busy re-orientating the ethnic demography of the UK to make Whites an ageing minority busy planning their funerals!
Meanwhile, the Government are working hard at Dover to make it a reality!
David,
Watching GBNews last night, and an ad for The Norfolk Feather Company showed a white couple in bed.
I kid you not, is this allowed?
Nearly every TV advert in Finland has a ‘mixed couple’ in it. Every TV show has to have ‘an ethnic’ thrown into it.
Hard to tell where things go from here if this article is any guide to the bigger picture – pandemic as cover for money injection to ‘save’ global economy without creating hyperinflation:

If these tyrants think that they can just walk away from this largely manufactured crisis without facing any justice for their crimes against humanity then they have another thing coming. This doesn’t end with us getting our freedoms back – it ends when all those who perpetuated this crisis are brought to justice and the severest sentences handed down. If justice is not served then it will only embolden them to try the same fraudulent power grab again sometime in the future.
This is not over. It is part of the plan to make people think that things will get back to normal
They have been, and still are, getting away with it.
Tony Blair did have something coming for him – a knighthood!
Justice is not going to served.
…
Wait a mo; I’ll just clean my glasses…. Have a thumbs up while you’re waiting….
This won’t end until we see…
With respect, … it’s not Fauci … not primarily.
It’s the press. The entire press.
Part of them are just stupid. Several years ago, one of the Watergate guys (Woodward or Bernstein) said that the younger journalists are ill-educated, knowing practically nothing about history, and are obsessed with breaking the next big one.
Others? … Research “JournoList” circa the 2007-2008 time frame regarding Obama’s Presidential campaign, but do NOT trust Wikipedia on it.
JournoList is undoubtedly very much around.
Can’t argue with that.
Wiki now subverted by the PC Extremist Globalist Left – now a tissue of lies, bent editing and ‘cancellation’ . (All smacks of Zuckerberg Fact Checking)
Very sad – it used to be so good.
Read RFKJ’s book and say again ‘It’s not Fauci”.
He and Gates have been working together for 20 years.
Gates bought the Media and the WHO to push the vaccines – Fauci gave the money to fund” gain of function ” on the virus, fixed regulatory bodies, crushed those who challenged his narrative, blocked the use of safe, available drugs and spun the propaganda.
The Media are just tools, not players, controlled by Globalist Corporates like Comcast who own UK SKY News – all are in league with Big Pharma and the WEF..
Have you ever heard of the names Ayers, Dohrn, Klonsky, Hayden, Palmer, Young, Jones, Davidson, Davis, Baraka-Jones?
Moaning about Fauci and Gates is like howling at The Moon.
They live a long way from Margate, and it is unlikely that anyone from the UK is going to fly to the USA to beat them up.
How about dealing with matters at home first?
Feck. Feck. Mask. My arse.
With nigh on a 100% vaccine uptake,I guess they no longer need proof.
Right. Now they just need to release a variant from time to time to help people along with booster uptakes until annual or bi-annual mandated jabs becomes normalised.
Will there be anyone still around by then?
I think you’re on the right lines here. The acid test is how the ‘Vaxx Passes’ continue. No Jab – No Pass. No Pass – No Travel.
I don’t believe the uptake for the first two doses was anywhere near what they claimed. The uptake for the so-called “booster” was not particularly great, that’s for sure.
You only get to have a valid Vaxx Pass if you’ve had the 3rd jab (‘booster’). All you have to do is count the number of valid Vaxx Passes by, say, the end of 2022.

Not-stop live coverage on the BBC ( only joking).
I expect French BFMTV might just be there though.
There’s a pattern emerging: stopping restrictions except for the most useless, ineffective bullshit of all. Boris is keeping mask laws in care homes and continues to “recommend” in other settings. Masking is retained in the devolved nations. Now Ireland is continuing the nonsense. Do any of them even know why they are doing it?
International Groupthink never ends.
Useless “Masks” remind people that they are under permanent obligatory ‘Big Brother” restraint – no longer ‘free’ .Only the sad sheep will “obey” though!
I suspect their psychotic Marxist psy-op “experts” like the dreadful Michie will tell the Government they foster ‘conflict’ and “division’ which is good for the Power Freaks.
( Johnson’s empty amorality and personal political vacuum are surely perfectly illustrated by his taking and implementing advice from a Marxist Communist supporter of Castro for two years.).
That reminder is one factor. Also, as in mass formation, one is joining in a ‘meaningful’ activity with others who are doing likewise. There is a recognition of one another that is a poor substitute for connectedness.
Obviously, to reintroduce the same/more restrictions in next season. The conditioning must be upheld to make population accept it as “new normality”.
Keeps the fear factor going and ensure compliance by a large proportion of the population
Of course they know why they’re doing it!
MSM is trying to make fun of people wanting to protect themselves with cheap and proven drugs. Ivermectin has been FDA approved for human use since 1996. It also beats Pfizer’s new wonder drug hands down, and costs next to nothing. Ivermectin doesn’t make tons of money. So they know the Covid shot is on its final gasp, so they take it add something different to it, rebrand under another name and charge 20 times what they would for ivermectin. I cannot wrap my head around this nonsense. When I explain this to my relatives they label me as crazy and ask me if I know better than science. I don’t make up these information out of my ass. All this information is true and proven. For some people it is near impossible for them to wake up. They are comfortable in their clown world life.

Ok something is going on. England, Ireland, Czech, Spain? They;re being told to do this. Usual coordinated action.
Oh, and Fed court BLOCKs mandate for federal workers!!
