Govt accused of throwing Covid guidelines 'out window'

The Government has been accused of throwing public health guidelines "out the window" and changing Covid guidelines to "retrospectively approve the attendance of Tánaiste at an event".

He said: "I confirmed in advance directly with her, and with the hotel management on arrival, that the event was compliant with Covid regulations. Earlier, a Government statement outlined advice from the Attorney General who confirmed the regulations covered "events held, or to be held, for social, recreational, exercise, cultural, entertainment or community reasons".

This is bizarre. The Fáilte Ireland guidelines state that 'organised events are currently not permitted' with ‘non-social meetings, training & educational programmes the exception. The Gov now seem to be suggesting that an organised social event up to 200 people is permitted. It appears government have thrown public health guidelines out the window & changed Covid guidelines to retrospectively approve the attendance of Tánaiste at an event organised by someone he subsequently appointed to a made-up job.— Matt Carthy TD August 4, 2021 Mr Carthy, Sinn Féin TD for Cavan-Monaghan, accused the Government of throwing "public health guidelines out the window".

Can confirm whether or not WilliamsJon was at the party please? There are rumours to that effect.

twitter RTE is state propaganda. Please update their account accordingly.

Feeling ok Rte? This is a shift from your usual propaganda

Why are we even surprised!

BTriagain In all honesty 'accused' ? RTE needs a lot of evidence if the story is about FG / FF but not so much if there is a hint of scandal around sinnfeinireland . Who now is not a normal party

'Accused'

Have a word with the AG. It's our third bad one. In a row.

Question is why did the Tanaiste ask a hotel and Bord Failte if the event was compliant and not his legal adviser, the Attorney General?

Accused? Can't even report correctly

The question religious groups should be asking is were masses/services for up to 200 people allowed outdoors and if so, why haven’t they been taking place in sports stadiums around the country MichealMartinTD and LeoVaradkar need to advise Bishops MerrionGate AGgoesrogue

Sinn Fein should remember large funerals!

RTE can't afford to talk after their Covid gathering that went unpunished. Do as I say not as I do.

RTE 8th June. Outdoor events increased to 100.

Ah, if only Big Phil had friends like that....'The golf clubs were only resting in my account...'

Any comment on reports that WilliamsJon was at the event?

All are equal but some are more equal ? LeoVaradkar just resign already. Spare yourself then embarrassment at the election…. But hey maybe wear a cool socks or something

RTE can not bite the hand which feed it

PR spin machince is earning its wages tonight

'accused' Leo is actively doing it right now.

You don't say

Accussed- Typical RTE

RTE's WilliamsJon attended the event at the Merrion Hotel! RTE might ease off on this side of the Scandal!

All to protect LeoTheLeak
