Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has affirmed “Ireland’s commitment” to the creation of a WHO Pandemic Treaty.
The proposed international treaty would involve coordinating World Health Organisation member states’ responses to any potential future pandemics similar to Covid-19.
Discussing the idea in Dublin today, along with WHO officials such as Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Dr. Mike Ryan and others, Minister Donnelly said that Ireland was a “strong supporter of the WHO leadership” in global health matters.
NEEDED TO “MANAGE FUTURE PANDEMICS”
“During the pandemic the WHO played a key role in supporting countries to understand, withstand and eventually overcome the impact of COVID-19 on our healthcare systems, which is why securing an international treaty to manage future pandemics is essential,” he said.
“We know the world is watching, the stakes are high, and time is of the essence. It is important to note that this is also a generational opportunity, one which Ireland recognises we must not miss.”
INCREASING IRELAND’S W.H.O. FUNDING
He added that Ireland would be increasing its WHO contributions annually by millions of euros.
“I’m pleased to have secured increased funding in the 2024 Health Budget for Ireland’s assessed contributions to the WHO,” he said.
“It will rise from €1.5 million in 2023 to the target level of €3.7 million from 2024, well ahead of the 2029 deadline.”
CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER WELCOMES THE TREATY
Ireland’s Chief Medical Officer, Professor Breda Smyth, also welcomed the proposed Treaty.
“Ireland welcomes the continued collaboration and support provided by the WHO in advancing the negotiations of the Working Group on amendments to the International Health Regulations and the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body for a Pandemic Agreement,” she said.
“The International Negotiating Body has been charged with a challenging but historic task.”
INDICATION TREATY WILL CARRY “SANCTIONS”
In September of 2021, WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus indicated that such a Pandemic Treaty would carry with it “incentives” to follow the treaty’s rules, including potential international sanctions.
As reported by Politico, Ghebreyesus said that the treaty would “have all the incentives, or the carrots” to encourage the enforcement of the rules, including around issues like transparency into pandemic investigations.
“But maybe exploring the sanctions may be important,” he added.
“GROWING CONCERN” ABOUT SOVEREIGNTY
The proposal has caused some to warn about a potential threat to national sovereignty, however.
Earlier this year Conservative MPs in Britain wrote to UK government ministers warning that such a Treaty could have “powers of compulsion” for lockdowns and more.
The MPs, led by former Cabinet minister Esther McVey, said that the Treaty would represent a dramatic change from an advisory body, to an authority with powers of compulsion, according to the Telegraph.
“There is, rightly, growing concern about the WHO’s Pandemic Treaty and International Health Regulations,” McVey said.
“The plans represent a significant shift for the organisation, from a member-led advisory body to a health authority with powers of compulsion. This is particularly worrying when you consider the WHO’s poor track record on providing consistent, clear and scientifically sound advice for managing international disease outbreaks.”
Another MP signatory, Danny Kruger, went on to warn that “ceding control over health budgets and critical decision-making in a pandemic to an unelected international organisation seems profoundly at odds with national autonomy and democratic accountability.”
DONNELLY PREVIOUSLY REFUSED TO COMMIT TO REFERENDUM ON TREATY
However, advocates of the Treaty simply argue that it will allow countries to coordinate more effective and synchronised public health responses to prevent the spread of dangerous illnesses and save lives.
Health Minister Stephen Donnelly said last year that “Ireland strongly supports a multilateral approach to global health issues with the WHO in a central leadership role.”
“Therefore,” the Minister said, “Ireland supports the WHO led process to negotiate a binding legal instrument on pandemic preparedness and response.”
When asked by Independent TD Mattie McGrath last year if the government intended to hold a referendum on the Treaty, Donnelly refused to commit to such a vote.

I see that donnelly is maintaining the kakistocracy narrative of removing our sovereignty through the back door. Interesting that an individual that knows clearly nothing about health as can be seen by the state of the hse, decides to hand over our health sovereignty to a bill gates funded entity based on nothing. Who in the name of god said it would be a great idea voting for this clown. There are many countries pulling out of it already because they know it is dictatorship via the back door.
The WHO is a Criminal organisation,who were complicit in promoting the Covid 19 Hoax, of Fear and Terror, to force submission to the Toxic death dealing Injection.
This was a mass depopulation program with deaths from Heart problems and turbo Cancers, infertility sterility,miscarriages.
The WHO presently being indicted for crimes against humaity.
The Irish Regime are collaborators in Mass murder of the Irish population and supporters of a Neo-Nazi Regime in Ukraine that has sacrificed 500k of its youth in a proxy war for the US/NATO.
100pc correct and donnelly has blood on his hands too along with the rest of the kakistocracy. They are most definitely wanting the lot of us gone, thats for sure.
He was elected on 15th count. He is a Harvard (wef) graduate and his track record shows he is loyalnonly to himself. Vincent Browne called him out
This must be resisted at all costs. Donnelly is giving away our sovereignty. 800 years we fought for our freedom and now our government is throwing it away. We will have to fight again it looks like.
No! Ten thousand times no
We want a referendum concerning the Pandemic treaty and before more money is handed over to the WHO, before Stephen Donnelly signs Ireland’s health sovereignty away!
Mortality rate out of control after the ‘Covid vaccine’ roll out, not to mention that the lockdowns have crippled families economically. ????♀️
NO to the WHO!
Dr tedros received at 9 a.m. 27 November written notification 10,000 Irish formally said NO to WHO
16,000 UK citizens said no
NZ paused. Slovakia said no
Tedros declined to get the Covid “vaccine” with a schoolboy “the dog ate my homework” excuse ie he didn’t want to deprive his Ethiopian fellow citizens one of the “vaccines”. Did you ever hear a more mind boggling excuse ????. By coincidence a Donnelly pamphlet praising himself to no end was dropped into my letterbox (Wicklow) this morning. Said pamphlet was recycled immediately. Thank God some Nation States said a resounding NO to Tedros.
Surely WHO can only advise us? And not compel us?
That’s the whole point of their shiny new treaty: the signing of the treaty is the relinquishing pf natoinal autonomy in matters related to health. If the WHO decrees that covid vaccines are to be mandatory for all citizens, treaty signatories will be obliged to enforce the mandate. Local laws, customs and citizens’ rights will be trumped by this obligation.
In January MEPs will vote on ewallet, central bank digital currecy, digital pass. Covid was a rehearsal
It should also be noted here that th second largest source of funding enjoyed by the WHO is the Bill Gates, second only to the USA. This is how a man with no medical qualification whatsoever became so influential in the development of vaccine policy for the last scamdemic (coincidentally, he also made half a billion dollars on a single vaccine-related investment at the same time).
Imageine now just how much influence all that cash could buy.
Outrageous enough that our government should conspire to relinquish accountability and soverign control of our health related affairs to an unelected global(ist) oeganisation, but quita another level of crazy that it’s one that is so obviously influenced by one man with very questionable ethics and motivations.
NO NO NO to this; thius must be resisted and the traitorous bastards who would sell Ireland must be rooted out and dealt with.

Would you take advice from a mass murdering organisation like WHO.
Trust in Govt’s, Medical Institutions and the Pharmaceutical Industry has gone the way of the Dodo bird.
It is no longer advice but mandate. I suspect the hordes of single male newcomers might be offered oppirtunity tobenforce as happened in Melbourne and ottawa
They are adding ” legally binding”. See who.int 28 June 2023
The original Irish constitution had a clause that allowed for 100.000 signatures to compel a national referendum – the early FG got rid of that, and boy do we need it now. Surely we should be entitled to a referendum on this treaty? The ammendments to the existing international health guidelines will give them the power they want anyway, in some ways the treaty is a distraction from that.
Even if we had a referendum on it are there too many sheeple in this country to resist it anyway, even after the covid debacle?
