Image: Julian Behal via RollingNews.ie OPPOSITION TDS HAVE called on Health Minister Stephen Donnelly to clarify the sequence of events prior to NPHET’s recommendation that the entire country move to Level 5 of Covid-19 restrictions on Sunday evening.

“We discussed my concerns, the concerns I shared with him of the conversations I had with a range of members of NPHET over the preceding 24 hours and the fact that I was going to hold a meeting of the NPHET and would brief him afterwards, which is exactly what happened. The spokesperson said Donnelly informed Taoiseach Micheál Martin on Saturday afternoon that a NPHET meeting would be held on Sunday “arising out of concerns about escalating case numbers”.

Related Read 06.10.20 NPHET members believe Level 5 advice 'should have been communicated more carefully to government' “The country was distracted by an unseemly row between the Government and NPHET at precisely the moment when all attention should have been on responding to the surge in Covid-19 cases,” Shortall said.

Stephen Donnelly sat on a wall. Stephen Donnelly had a great fall. All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Stephen Donnelly together again.

Not sure I like this fella! Think he’s a bit of a smarmbag and also a liar.......another one!

Was Tony ever asked to clarify the sequence of events around he trying to cover up the Cervical Check Scandal!!!!!

FOCUS. Theres a huge problem right now so now no inquisitions, actions must be taken to suit, quickly.

thepainterflynn Doubt if he will have time to do that. He is too busy copying Donald Trump and talking about what a wonderful job he doing

Oh wait for it, I'd say he's close to getting covid again 😂😂

Lying is the new truth for politicians.

Sick of journalists trying to get gotcha moments, try telling people, to do what NPHET are asking them to do. Basic, wash hands , wear mask, keep your distance , it's not rocket science.

Could the media move on past this now 🙄

Remember the famous ‘on mature reflection’ of Brian Lenihan senior? Seems we are facing similar moment - suddenly politicians are remembering they got phone calls at weekend. Spare us antics please

It’s irrelevant.

Leftist statist government control freaks , want to know why the Irish people didn’t get a good dose of level 5 communism again

More lies by FFG! New Minister for Health Crisis, Traitor, Egg Head, strange Stephen Donnelly knew about Sunday's NEFHD meeting, day before! He talked to Holohan before & after! We are to believe he didn't tell Mehole or Goofy! timmydooley Dim Dolittle Bullshitting for govt!

🥚

Can the gov provide evidence that coronavirus is a pandemic disease in Ireland? PCR tests are useless and they know it yet they continue. Why?

The difference is between being a liar and being honest... basic standards really

Makes a big difference as narrative was NPHET went solo but if they did speak to Donnelly then Gov were informed despite saying opposite & shows clear lack of communication in coalition. (Side note - this article needs some proofing)

Honestly who cares this. If people are not meant to leave their county why are counties with low rates, such as Mayo, Kerry, Tipperary & Waterford, included in an outright ban on dining? This is what opposition should be calling out right now.

Honestly, what difference does it make
