Meanwhile, Taoiseach Micheál Martin has confirmed that the Covid-19 oversight committee of senior officials is looking at the possibility of fines as part of stronger enforcement of Level 3 restrictions for motorists who breach county boundaries.
“Clearly [there is] the overspill into the Republic” and there could be consequences from that “so we have to deal with that”, he told the Dáil. This compared to a “normal level” of 1,000 to 2,000 claims a day. Mr Martin added that between 40,000 and 50,000 new claims “could emerge this week as a result of moving to level 3. That is how serious Level 3 is.”
The Covid-19 oversight group, which consists of the most senior civil servants in each Government department, met on Wednesday morning to consider enhanced enforcement of restrictions across business, education and wider society.

Doctor who denied health emergency removed from post as Shannondoc chairDr Pat Morrissey described Nphet as ‘megalomaniac bureaucrats’ at protest Pharma-fash DO NOT QUESTION THE NARRATIVE The demonization of protest and any dissent merged with fascist ruthlessness and destruction of livelihood. Don't you dare believe there's no emergency. Or else. Great little country altogether. Off he goes. Firing up a bunch of anti vaxer wingnuts and referring to people doing their jobs as megalomaniacs does it for me.
