From this weekend, Irish pubs, restaurants and other hospitality outlets can return to normal operations, and customers will not be asked for to show a digital Covid pass, Taoiseach Micheal Martin has announced. Sky News has more.
The Irish government has agreed to lift almost all coronavirus restrictions from tomorrow – in a move attributed to the passing of the peak of the Omicron wave, and the country’s high vaccine uptake. …
Some rules will continue, however. The requirement to wear face masks is being retained, until at least the end of February, and a digital Covid pass will still be required for international travel.
Self-isolation will remain in place for symptomatic people.
Ireland has now passed the peak of its fifth wave of COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic.
With one of Europe’s highest vaccine uptakes, and a stabilised hospitalisation rate, the National Public Health Emergency Team felt able to advise the Government there was no longer a public health rationale to keep restrictions.
Health Minister Stephen Donnelly said the government was “very, very conscious” of older and vulnerable people who had concerns about a full reopening, but said it was all about “finding a balance”.
The minister said he expected an increase in case numbers in the weeks ahead, but added that the health system had proved it could handle it.

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
The digital covid pass was part of the Agenda, that’s stays so they win.
To still subject children to masks is cruel and inexcusable.
Please read Dr..Joseph Mercola’s newsletter today. “16 defendants named, nuremburg trials 2.0 coming soon? Will these 16 be charged with genocide? Why has get your booster coercion suddenly disappeared here in the Uk. Not a word in the last few days. Big march today in London. Gov’t considering scrapping mandates for healthcare workers in the nhs that would have forced them to take the experimental biologicals? Rumours of people making formal complaints to police regarding injury from vaxx? Police investigations? Vaxx centres shut down?
The restrictions left were the goal all along … Till the next event when they encroach a little further till we’re in a full on dictatorship.
End all restrictions however slight or you will be doomed.
You have nothing if you don’t have freedom
So in other words, they’re still keeping the boot hovering over the neck of the Irish people.
This backtracking is highly suspicious. What are they plotting next? Hopefully more and more are waking up so mass psychosis won’t be so easy next time, they’ve cried ‘wolf’ too many times. But I don’t trust this.
What ‘backtracking’? Most people will continue to wear face masks, as we have seen for the past 6 months from ‘Freedom Day’ in July 2021.
All Boris and pals have to do is shout “Another Variant! – masks back on!” and… guess what?
I think the bottom line is that if people can be fooled for 2 years, they can be fooled for many more years. They have shown they can be easily fooled, they have shown they like being fooled. The rest of our lives could be living in our nations of zombies in their face masks… a living nightmare.
The end objective is still digital passports for all aspects of your life
This is part of the nudge psy ops. Give and then take away from the battered and abused population

“digital Covid pass will still be required for international travel.”
So not real freedom from medical tyranny then?
Now you’re getting it. It’s blackmail, pure and simple – take the jab, or we’ll make travelling almost impossible for you.
Not good enough! Don’t fall for this one!
Would you be happy if someone removed a gun from your head but still kept the gun?
This will only end when they destroy the vax passports and all the system and data behind it. Otherwise, it will just be rolled out again later.
Ok something is going on. England, Ireland, Czech, Spain? They;re being told to do this. Usual coordinated action.
Oh, and Fed court BLOCKs mandate for federal workers!!
MSM is trying to make fun of people wanting to protect themselves with cheap and proven drugs. Ivermectin has been FDA approved for human use since 1996. It also beats Pfizer’s new wonder drug hands down, and costs next to nothing. Ivermectin doesn’t make tons of money. So they know the Covid shot is on its final gasp, so they take it add something different to it, rebrand under another name and charge 20 times what they would for ivermectin. I cannot wrap my head around this nonsense. When I explain this to my relatives they label me as crazy and ask me if I know better than science. I don’t make up these information out of my ass. All this information is true and proven. For some people it is near impossible for them to wake up. They are comfortable in their clown world life. If you want to get Ivermectin you can visit https://ivmpharmacy.com
There’s a pattern emerging: stopping restrictions except for the most useless, ineffective bullshit of all. Boris is keeping mask laws in care homes and continues to “recommend” in other settings. Masking is retained in the devolved nations. Now Ireland is continuing the nonsense. Do any of them even know why they are doing it?
International Groupthink never ends.
Useless “Masks” remind people that they are under permanent obligatory ‘Big Brother” restraint – no longer ‘free’ .Only the sad sheep will “obey” though!
I suspect their psychotic Marxist psy-op “experts” like the dreadful Michie will tell the Government they foster ‘conflict’ and “division’ which is good for the Power Freaks.
( Johnson’s empty amorality and personal political vacuum are surely perfectly illustrated by his taking and implementing advice from a Marxist Communist supporter of Castro for two years.).
That reminder is one factor. Also, as in mass formation, one is joining in a ‘meaningful’ activity with others who are doing likewise. There is a recognition of one another that is a poor substitute for connectedness.
Obviously, to reintroduce the same/more restrictions in next season. The conditioning must be upheld to make population accept it as “new normality”.
Keeps the fear factor going and ensure compliance by a large proportion of the population
Of course they know why they’re doing it!
Massive Freedom Demonstration: One Million Europeans to Descend on Brussels January 23

I expect French BFMTV might just be there though.
Czech Republic Overturns Plan to Mandate Covid ‘Vaccine’: Does Not Want to Divide Society
https://rairfoundation.com/czech-republic-overturns-plan-to-mandate-covid-vaccine-does-not-want-to-divide-society/
With nigh on a 100% vaccine uptake,I guess they no longer need proof.
Right. Now they just need to release a variant from time to time to help people along with booster uptakes until annual or bi-annual mandated jabs becomes normalised.
Will there be anyone still around by then?
I think you’re on the right lines here. The acid test is how the ‘Vaxx Passes’ continue. No Jab – No Pass. No Pass – No Travel.
I don’t believe the uptake for the first two doses was anywhere near what they claimed. The uptake for the so-called “booster” was not particularly great, that’s for sure.
You only get to have a valid Vaxx Pass if you’ve had the 3rd jab (‘booster’). All you have to do is count the number of valid Vaxx Passes by, say, the end of 2022.
Feck. Feck. Mask. My arse.
This won’t end until we see…
With respect, … it’s not Fauci … not primarily.
It’s the press. The entire press.
Part of them are just stupid. Several years ago, one of the Watergate guys (Woodward or Bernstein) said that the younger journalists are ill-educated, knowing practically nothing about history, and are obsessed with breaking the next big one.
Others? … Research “JournoList” circa the 2007-2008 time frame regarding Obama’s Presidential campaign, but do NOT trust Wikipedia on it.
JournoList is undoubtedly very much around.
Can’t argue with that.
Wiki now subverted by the PC Extremist Globalist Left – now a tissue of lies, bent editing and ‘cancellation’ . (All smacks of Zuckerberg Fact Checking)
Very sad – it used to be so good.
Read RFKJ’s book and say again ‘It’s not Fauci”.
He and Gates have been working together for 20 years.
Gates bought the Media and the WHO to push the vaccines – Fauci gave the money to fund” gain of function ” on the virus, fixed regulatory bodies, crushed those who challenged his narrative, blocked the use of safe, available drugs and spun the propaganda.
The Media are just tools, not players, controlled by Globalist Corporates like Comcast who own UK SKY News – all are in league with Big Pharma and the WEF..
Have you ever heard of the names Ayers, Dohrn, Klonsky, Hayden, Palmer, Young, Jones, Davidson, Davis, Baraka-Jones?
Moaning about Fauci and Gates is like howling at The Moon.
They live a long way from Margate, and it is unlikely that anyone from the UK is going to fly to the USA to beat them up.
How about dealing with matters at home first?
…
Wait a mo; I’ll just clean my glasses…. Have a thumbs up while you’re waiting….
If these tyrants think that they can just walk away from this largely manufactured crisis without facing any justice for their crimes against humanity then they have another thing coming. This doesn’t end with us getting our freedoms back – it ends when all those who perpetuated this crisis are brought to justice and the severest sentences handed down. If justice is not served then it will only embolden them to try the same fraudulent power grab again sometime in the future.
This is not over. It is part of the plan to make people think that things will get back to normal
They have been, and still are, getting away with it.
Tony Blair did have something coming for him – a knighthood!
Justice is not going to served.
Hard to tell where things go from here if this article is any guide to the bigger picture – pandemic as cover for money injection to ‘save’ global economy without creating hyperinflation:

Klaus Schwab talks about galvanising the anger. Are we really going to let it slide into that. I think they very well intuit that the clot shot will provide a schism. Our job is to ensure that it never does. We don’t think in those terms instead we think in terms of bringing those bastards to justice.
Schwab and co aren’t idiots. They’ve been crafting a plan to save their asses since the financial crisis, when they realised unless they did something drastic the pitchforks would coming for them sooner rather than later.
The Occupy Wall Street people trying to storm Jamie Dimon’s apartment was a wake up call for the global oligarchs.
And the best they could come up with, the psychopaths that they are, was The Great Reset. i.e. take all our shit and enslave us. And we’ll be happy, or so they tell us.
Hey, the advertising industry has been applying the technique of simply telling us stuff is great even when it’s patently crap or really not good for us. Why wouldn’t it work for the Davos club.
Hold on… hold on Monkey… it’s not your show…

The Advertising industry are too busy re-orientating the ethnic demography of the UK to make Whites an ageing minority busy planning their funerals!
Meanwhile, the Government are working hard at Dover to make it a reality!
David,
Watching GBNews last night, and an ad for The Norfolk Feather Company showed a white couple in bed.
I kid you not, is this allowed?
Nearly every TV advert in Finland has a ‘mixed couple’ in it. Every TV show has to have ‘an ethnic’ thrown into it.
Cloward-Piven strategy

Most but not all restrictions have been lifted. So they can be re-introduced at the drop of a shalaylee. Don’t trust them.
Those who have even half a brain left don’t trust them. The Covidian faithful still think they have their interests at heart.
Resist: Join the World-Wide Freedom Rally Protests this Saturday / Sunday
https://joannenova.com.au/2022/01/resist-join-the-worldwide-freedom-rally-protests-this-saturday-sunday/
UK and Ireland branch offices of the NWO government structure are letting the plebs out to play, for now. Respiratory disease is cyclical, and a good year is usually followed by a bad year. So just wait until the flu/pneumonia deaths bounce back next year and it will all be labelled covid again – and we will be locked up ‘for our safety’.
They have tried the global freezing yarn, peak oil (on repeat), the global warming scam, the great climate change swindle, cow farts mean UK cities under the sea by 2020, food wars, the swine flu fake pandemic trial run and now the covid hoax – which so may fell for, they arent going to let that one go, not ever.
They will milk this vast deception for all its worth, at least until people wake up from their mass hypnosis, or find themselves back in the Stone Age with the elite behind these scams owning every single asset on earth – including the shirt on your back.
But don’t worry, the WEF private members club (who really rule us) say you will own nothing but you’ll be happy!
And they will make sure of… Read more »
Trying to stop this feels like frantically trying to wake up a room full of people with narcolepsy.
But but but if the jabs make you infertile, the sheep will finally die out, and the only people having babies will be the pure bloods who will then take over the world. Eventually.
We need to stop calling these fat tapeworms “the elites” for a start.
It occured to me early this AM … there IS a viable explanation for a (cough) ‘Global Conspiracy’ being behind this covid totalitarianism.
How many of you have heard of Richard Cloward and his wife Frances Fox Piven? The “Cloward-Piven strategy” of the late 60s?
Fewer will know that it was actually put into effect in the US. The NYC bankruptcy in 1975. The “motor voter act” signed by Clinton in 1993 (with Cloward & Piven standing behind him as he did.)
I have no proof, but the C-P concept can very easily encompass the deliberate hamstringing of everyday society, in order to destroy it and force a reconstruction.
Who would do so? Bill Ayers and company in Chicago, who groomed Obama and successfully ran him. George Soros, who wasn’t part of Ayers’ “Alinsky Machine”, but who worked hand-in-glove with them.
Whoever they are, you won’t find them on the stage at Davos. They’ll be strictly behind the scenes, and might not be at Davos at all.
Fifth wave!?
Amateurs! Spain says it’s on its sixth wave!
I wonder is it a “stealth” variant, like the one they are currently dreaming up for the UK.
Nah, it’s just “Omicron”, the tsunami of covid waves…
Except is a bit of a rubbish tsunami as it doesn’t seem to killing too many people.
Stewart,
Oh no! T
Not Mikey Mann’s hockey stick again
Bloody hell. What a completely out of control mess this is. Different bunches of goons playing mix’n’match left right and centre.
Why are we humans so comprehensively bloody useless and self destructive?
It genuinley messes with my head.
Gullible sheep who watch the BBC and believe what politicians say are really to blame for all this.
There sre still millions of them out there!
Too late motherfuckers you have already caused an avalanche of suicides. Don’t think that any of this will ever be forgotten.
The countries with high vaccination rates can now ease up, their job is done. Now up to time and 5G to finish the job.
5G – the first casualties are due surely?
