The National University of Ireland in Galway has pledged to locate unmasked students on campus by using CCTV. Any students caught not wearing a face covering will be subjected to disciplinary action. Connacht Tribune has the story.
Management at National University Ireland Galway (NUIG) have said they will use CCTV to track down students who refuse to wear face masks and can take disciplinary action against them.
Staff at the university were told this week to approach students who do not wear masks and if they refuse to wear one, CCTV will be used to “pick up on the individuals”.
NUIG’s Chief Operating Officer, John Gill, said the college’s adherence to Covid guidelines has been largely excellent.
“However, in recent weeks, we’ve had some reports of isolated incidents of non-compliance, particularly in public areas like corridors etc, and particularly relating to the wearing of face masks. We want to encourage everyone, staff and students, to return to full compliance.
“Our experience has been that if people are challenged, if somebody asks them to replace their face covering, they do so. If you find that you get a response that is now what you’d expect or people don’t return to wearing the face covering, please report it.
“If we have CCTV coverage, then we can pick up on the individuals and approach them directly, or if you know the identity of the individual, let us know and we can act on that,” said Gill.
He asked staff to provide the time, date and place so authorities could identify them through CCTV footage.

Another educational establishment where the establishment needs educating!
How ridiculous. Surely even this uni knows mask do not work😂😂😂😂
It’ll be easy for these voyeuristic government delinquents to track and save recordings of women they find appealing. Will the women’s rights advocates protest this policy, or will they shrug off this new invasion of women’s privacy?
We are now beginning to move into the end game in Europe. CCTV supervision, 100% compulsory vaccination, it’s all coming together at last for Chinese-style social control. Things that even six months ago were unthinkable.
All the dystopian nightmare movies you ever saw (usually starring Will Smith) are becoming reality.
Ireland in the 30’s…
When will it dawn on the idiots that MOST MASKS DON’T WORK.? They are unhealthy, restrictive, uncomfortable, particularly with glasses, and do not protect either yourself or others. It is merely an example of State and mind control of the sort we have had since March 2020. I hope the students will resist en masse and tell the authorities to shove their masks wherever.
Big brother and his snitches are watching you
It’s a shame, universities used to be places of learning. Now they are staffed by mask obsessive idiots that ignore evidence, or rather, lack of evidence that their mask fetish achieves anything .
Sounds like the CCP has arrived in Ireland. What beats me is why the going are all so compliant – probably the education dished out by the very same institutions now acting out these communistic measures.
Orwell was right. Big Brother IS watching.
…. I wonder if any professors at this college teach that book. Interesting time to have it on the syllabus.
Dunno about Covid, but they’ve certainly caught the Totalitarian Bug over in Galway.
Acts of “non-compliance”.
Says it all eh
Well, there’s one institution that seems to be concerned that the myth/joke of the ‘Thick Mick’ is waning.
Our healthcare system is about to experience a tsunami! Potential side effects of jabs include chronic inflammation, because the vaccine continuously stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. Other concerns include the possible integration of plasmid DNA into the body’s host genome, resulting in mutations, problems with DNA replication, triggering of autoimmune responses, and activation of cancer-causing genes. Alternative COVID cures EXIST. Ivermectin is one of them. While Ivermectin is very effective curing COVID symptoms, it has also been shown to eliminate certain cancers. Do not get the poison jab. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
I can’t edit my previous post, but if I could, I would remove the term “leftist vermin”. It’s too strong. There are many good people on the left, honest people. It comes from an observation that the most abusive governments on the SARS-2 issue are on the left, and are showing their usual disregard for the individual. That is all.
And how pathetic are Austrian men? I know they were turned into tree-huggers after WWII during an expansive and long-running propaganda campaign by the allies, but to allow the state to force your women and your children to play Russian roulette with their health and lives. They are a disgrace. At least the Dutch are out rioting.
They’re rioting in the Netherlands tonight. Fire bombs in the street, police everywhere. Let’s hope the pushback gathers momentum. The traitorous pigs who govern the West need to know their place. They are temporary stewards of ancient freedoms and nothing more. If they need to be put back in their place, then that is the ethical and lawful thing to do.
“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.”
—Thomas Jefferson
May the rioters riot on.
I can’t believe I just said that.
I hate noise and disorder and destruction.
But needs must when the Devil drives, and by God he is driving now.
I have spent my life supporting law and order and criticising the leftist rabble when they go out on the rampage. If someone like me is supporting the riots, the government are in trouble.
I fully support them but watch… if and it’s a big if the media report this they will be labelled as fringe anti vaxxers. As oppose to normal people trying to get their lives back.
The global communist putsch continues apace. In all communist jurisdictions (Scotland, Wales in the UK, Vic, NT, QLD in Australia, NZ, blue states in the US, all of Canada) we see brutal, human-hating regulations and laws as the state crushes freedom and liberty wherever it finds it. In conservative areas (England, SA and Tasmania in Australia), red states in the US, we see small glimmers of hope, but good people are surrounded by this leftist vermin. In Austria, all citizens will be injected with an experimental drug, against their will, and this will kill thousands of people, including pregnant women and children, and communist rags like the Guardian gleefully report it as “the first country to do so:, willing it on for everywhere else.
Should the governors of an English-speaking country decide to force this murder on its citizens, we are going to have to start getting physical, seriously so, and constantly until they back down. There are hundreds of thousands of us to every one of them.
Once you let a political regime decide what goes in your body, you have crossed the final line of tyranny. It only gets worse and more abusive from that point.
This is straight out of Nineteen Eighty Four. Until recently such obnoxious control freaks would have been too ashamed to publicly admit their bullying inclination. Now they are shameless. They are becoming more dangerous.
They have become dangerous to us, yes. They must understand it’s time to back down or they will made to go.
This is a balanced comment on masking by staunch opponents of it on the basis of and translating the Boretti study from Saudi Arabia.
The link to the study in English is embedded.
The point is, this is not as much against it as we are, but coming pretty close AND from a pretty mainstream uni. https://speerspitzedeswiderstands.wordpress.com/2021/11/19/wende-in-der-wissenschaftlichen-bewertung-des-maskentragens/
This is an article about better ventilation being a much better option than indoor masking, but just as masking has negative side effects, so will ventilation likely have.
Probably best to do nothing in that regard in most places then, as us folk here with an IQ above room temperature figured out and practiced from the start…

the word im looking for is WANKERS !!!
Sick, perverted, warped, twisted ……….
Universities have become cathedrals of craziness.
They are places where the correct answer is regarded more highly than the true answer.
And they are headed fro their own destruction.
For a while now, once the academic year has started and the banks are licking their lips after herding another batch of 18 year olds into decades-long debt, and the universities have got another year’s fees guaranteed, the esteemed halls of learning are mostly interested in continuing to collect rent. Well OK, maybe some laundry and catering and booze money too.
I’d have thought someone could be doing a roaring trade in balaclavas
Wearing uniform for political purposes appears to be lawful in the Republic of Ireland too, subject to only a few restrictions.
There must be a way that resisters among students, lecturers, and others at the National University of Ireland, Galway, can MOCK this contemptible policy.
By the way I said that with tongue firmly in cheek 🙂
Would it help if they carried a cardboard cutout Armalite?
Honestly, it’s starting to get so absurd that it might only mean a close end of all that… It’s like someone is at the end of their wits.
It was a very short journey, then.
Well here it is. It’s happened. The Daily Telegraph, under a headline which actually gives voice to criticism of the Austrian government, nonetheless says that Austria is “the first (European country) to make Covid vaccination compulsory”. (Emphasis added.)
Between the lines, that means “this is inevitable across the whole of Europe, or at least across most of it”.
If a development occurs that an editor wants to be critical of, they don’t say it’s the “first” time it has happened. They say it’s “extraordinary” or “unexpected” or something like that. “First” gives you the messages “this is right” and “this should and will spread, and any country that lags is no more than a party pooper or run by nasties or loonies”.
According to Forbes, the other countries with compulsory spiking “against Covid” are Micronesia, Indonesia, and Turkmenistan. (They also mention Costa Rica, where spiking is compulsory for children but not adults.)
So step forward and take a bow, the Filthy Fascist Four: MITA.
Aye, AMIT lad
NOT GUILTY BABY
Horrendous. What sort of reptile would impose this?
A valueless, vain, scruffy, shag-a-minute twat like Boris Johnson probably

Mask mandates and their ‘It’s just a mask’ acceptance opened the box of the Pandora of abolishing ones bodily autonomy, as we noticed and said right away, and as all the world is now witnessing.
