Saturday the 20th, the last day we have data for, saw 6,179 vaccines administered. This is the worst performance on a Saturday since the 12th of February, before GPs began to administer vaccines, which saw only 3,023 administered. The low numbers were likely caused by the Government’s decision to ignore the advice of the European […]
There has been a huge amount written about the numerous anti-lockdown protests we’ve recently seen. Mainstream media and politicians have alternated between calling the protesters racists, conspiracy theorists, fascists, and simply describing them as useful idiots being manipulated by an ominously vague “far-right.” Political protests, by their very nature, attract a variety of political groups […]
China has today issued sanctions against 10 EU citizens, including five MEPs, accusing them of “gross interference” in Chinese internal affairs and “maliciously spreading lies and false information.” The Chinese leadership has let me know that I will not be allowed to visit the mainland, Hong Kong or Macao. But then there is Taiwan. 🙂 […]

Update: The motion was not voted on at the meeting on the 22nd, and an emergency meeting will now be convened, most likely next week, in order to vote on the motion. Next Monday, the 22nd, students in NUIG’s Student Union (SU) will vote on a motion which seeks to deplatform 16 groups which the […]
Only 303 vaccines were administered last Sunday, the 14th. The low numbers were likely caused by the Government’s decision to ignore the advice of the European Medicines Agency and stop the administration of AstraZeneca vaccines. The Government has now reversed that decision, but has said that it will be late next week before use of […]
As of Saturday the 13th, the last day we have data for, Ireland has administered just over 450,000 first doses of vaccines. Last week also saw us hit, for the first time in a month, our vaccination target. The Government had set a target of 84,000 for last week after having missed their target of […]
Gript can reveal that Linda Hayden, founder of the Victim’s Alliance and candidate for the Social Democrats in the 2020 General Election, sent unsolicited images of a sexual nature to a sexual abuse victim. The images, sent in late 2019, show a man in various states of undress, including having his penis fully exposed and […]
A relatively strong performance between Monday and Friday of last week means we are likely to have hit our vaccination target last week, breaking the Government’s nearly month-long record of missing weekly targets, but it looks like we will miss our target for vaccinating those at “very high risk” but younger than 70. Last week’s […]

The instructions ISAG members […]
