LP [SR-134]

The fourth album by Me Hole Martin.

Fuck Leo Varadkar, fuck Eamon Ryan and fuck Alan Kelly too. This speech was quare good though

The Taoiseach Micheál Martin has confirmed the lifting of nearly all restrictions from 6am tomorrow.

"I have stood here on many dark days but today is a good day," he said in a televised address this evening.

Mr Martin described trust as a fragile thing for the public. "People know that Government will not impose restrictions on personal freedoms for any longer than is necessary."

Ireland has weathered the Omicron storm, he added. "Therefore, from 6am tomorrow morning, the majority of public health measures [relating to Covid-19] will be removed."

Spring is coming and "I don't think I have ever looked forward to one as much" he said.

The wearing of masks, where currently required, will continue, as advised by the National Public Health Emergency Team, he confirmed.

The advice on close contacts, symptoms and positive cases will remain and will be reviewed by the end of February.

Earlier, the Cabinet agreed that bars, restaurants and nightclubs will be able to operate normal trading times without Covid passes or social distancing.

Events held both indoor and outside will not have any crowd limits imposed on them.

Any number of households will be able to gather too.

And the gradual return to the workplace will get under way from Monday.

The Covid pass will still be needed for international travel while mask wearing rules will remain in place until the end of next month.

Meanwhile a further 6,597 confirmed cases of Covid-19 were reported today, while 4,564 people registered a positive antigen test through the HSE portal.

As of 8am today, 892 people with coronavirus were in hospital, a decrease of four since yesterday, of whom 88 were in ICU, down two.

Last night, NPHET gave the green light to ending most of the restrictions and, because it did not specify any timeline, left it up to the Cabinet to decide on the speed by which this will happen.

Earlier, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar said if there is no health rationale for a particular restriction then there is no political reason for it either.

"We'll need to do a little bit of work today on the timing," he said

Covid-19 financial supports were also thought to be discussed. Sources suggest a "short extension" of the Pandemic Unemployment Payment is likely beyond 7 February, when it was due to drop to €207.

The Covid Restrictions Support Scheme, and Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme, will also be looked at.

Indications ahead of the Government discussions had suggested that sports events planned for this weekend could be permitted to operate at full capacity.

It is expected that the decisions around this will be left in the hands of individual operators.

NPHET told the Government last night that it is supportive of lifting almost all Covid-19 restrictions and that analysis has cleared the way for Cabinet to act swiftly.

However, not everything will move apace.

People will continue to be required to isolate if they are symptomatic for Covid-19.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin is expected to give a televised address this evening and outline the Government's short and medium-term pandemic plan.
