Horrified to see this on our streets. Irish people have spent last year fighting Covid. There is no excuse for violence to Gardaí or anyone. This behaviour on Grafton St by a selfish few undermines sacrifices that millions have made in the last 12 months https://t.co/QI8x2dmFg3
I know we’re getting tired of lockdown but here’s positive thought for the week ahead. Next week, for first time, more than 100k people will receive vaccine. Rampup continues. In April, it’ll be c250k a week. Vacination works and will help us end pandemic. Summer should be better
BREAKING: The UK now has the highest covid death rate in the world. A horrifying, heart-breaking, appalling fact that shames our country & our Govt.
More help will be available when you reopen and return to work. With vaccines now available, the end of the pandemic is in sight. The last yards can be the hardest but working together we’ll get to the finish line.
If you were exposed to #COVID19 on Christmas Day, you would be at your most infectious to people you encounter tomorrow on New Year’s Eve.
This poses a serious risk of significant additional spread. #StayAtHome and stay safe.
We’ve just been asked will the extension of the #travelban affect Santa/Santy/Daidí na Nollag? 🎅
The big man will be fine. Even if he delivers to Britain before us, it’s a cargo flight & he’s an essential worker. 🎅 🛷 @HeathrowAirport@EDI_Airport@Cardiff_Airport
Next week people in our country will begin to get vaccinated. January will see more and more people vaccinated. Starting with the most vulnerable to this virus. We are going to do this. Though we are tired, fed up & drained, we cannot falter now. It’s too dangerous
Being honest, this is really beginning to get in on top of all of us. Know you’re not alone in feeling that. But please know this - there is hope. For the first time ever, we enter restrictions with vaccines arriving. We just have to keep each other safe in the meantime #COVID19
For the first time in 21 years, my sister and family won’t be home for Christmas. Like thousands of others, our family will be incomplete this year. I know it’s really unfair but it is for the best. Have to stay safe. We will make up for it next year and 2021 will be a great year
Cases rising quickly. We have low cases and deaths compared to EU/UK/US. This is at risk now- just as vaccines arrive. To protect yourself & those you love: Stay home. Don’t meet up. Stay away from restaurants/pubs. Avoid crowds. Use masks. Follow health advice. @roinnslainte
Good luck to all restaurants opening today. Your actions over the past few weeks have saved lives. Thank you for all you’ve done and the best of luck today
