UPDATED COVID CRISIS TIMELINE: As lockdown restrictions are eased, testing and tracing are stepped up but without cross-border collaboration
Almost every mis-step made by the Health Department and the Stormont Executive in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic was a direct result of following the lead of Boris Johnson and his advisors in No. 10 Downing Street. One of the heroes of the pandemic, Dr Gabriel Scally, the Belfast-born-and-bred President of the Epidemiology and Public […]
North-South loopholes in virus checks at ports and airports undermine travel restrictions

The Chair declared the meeting as quorate and, as Gaeilge, welcomed all to the meeting in the Seanad or on social mediae. The first […]
Contact tracing operation swings into action…at last
Almost three full months after the World Health Organisation announced Covid-19 as a pandemic and urged countries to “test, test, test”, the Public Health Agency today officially launches its contact tracing programme.
