So here we are at the start of a new year and the Government are now asking us all to rigidly adhere to Nphet’s public health advice — to stay at home and to minimise our contacts in compliance with level 5 Covid-19 restrictions.

Have I missed something? Isn’t this the same Government that didn’t fully comply with Nphet’s public health advice, which has resulted in the catastrophic rise in the reported cases of Covid-19 over recent days within our country?
