  • L&RS Note | How Parliaments Are Working During the Covid-19
    Oireachtas Library & Research Service | Bill Digest L&RS Note How parliaments are working during the Covid- 19 pandemic Charlotte Cousins, Senior Researcher (Parliamentary Affairs) Abstract 29 April 2020 This Note describes how twelve parliaments/assemblies have adapted their procedures and practices to adhere to the restrictions on physical meetings imposed due to Covid-19. Parliaments are continuing to meet with less sittings, dealing with limited business and with fewer members in their chambers. While most parliaments are precluded from holding full virtual plenary sessions, several have introduced some elements of remote working, most commonly virtual committee meetings. Remote voting is rarely feasible, for legal/procedural rather than technical reasons.

  • Day 127 - Monday 27Th July @ 11.04Pm I Feel Like I’Ve Been Punched in the Stomach
    Day 127 - Monday 27th July @ 11.04pm I feel like I’ve been punched in the stomach. This may be not only the worst day of lockdown, but one of the worst days of my entire life. So, my friends are all seeing each other tomorrow whilst I’m being left out. I... feel so many emotions I’ve not felt in months. I thought they were my friends, apparently not. So, it’s short tonight, but for good reason. My friends are leaving me out and I’ve probably annoyed my best friend. Please fix this. Until tomorrow. Day 126 - Sunday 26th July @ 11.24pm Today wasn’t the greatest. We visited grandparents for a while which was nice to see them again. It’s strange seeing family more often since the change in lockdown. I played for a wee while this afternoon with friends but they all eventually moved on to competitive which made me feel not the best. I brought it up with a friend who seemed supportive but I really don’t know anymore. Please bring back the past couple of weeks. Until tomorrow. Day 125 - Saturday 25th July @ 11.50pm See yesterday’s entry: nothing has really changed today. I played with friends today which was awesome to be able to but I still can’t do competitive so... I feel slightly left out (of course unintentionally and it’s all on me). I just feel worried about playing it and messing up in front of friends. Thanks anyway for the great past couple of weeks so far! Until tomorrow.

  • Assessing SARS-Cov-2 Circulation, Variants of Concern, Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions and Vaccine Rollout in the EU/EEA, 15Th Update 10 June 2021
    RISK ASSESSMENT Assessing SARS-CoV-2 circulation, variants of concern, non-pharmaceutical interventions and vaccine rollout in the EU/EEA, 15th update 10 June 2021 Summary Although SARS-CoV-2 transmission remains widespread in large parts of the EU/EEA, most countries report declining trends in 14-day COVID-19 notification rates, hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) occupancy, and mortality. Many countries have initiated partial lifting of different non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) that aim to reduce the degree of citizens physical contact and mobility. Since January 2021, EU/EEA countries have reported an increase in the number and proportion of SARS-CoV-2 cases of variants of concern (VOC) associated with increasing transmissibility and/or severity, with Alpha (B.1.1.7) the current dominant variant across the EU/EEA. Estimates across the region show that a large proportion of the population across Europe still remains susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and that population immunity is far from being reached. As of 3 June, the median cumulative vaccine uptake in the EU/EEA adult population (aged 18 years and older) had reached 46.2% for at least one vaccine dose and 22.3% for the full vaccination course. The highest level of vaccine uptake was observed among the elderly aged over 80, in which the uptake reached 80.5% for at least one dose and 66.3% for full vaccination coverage. For healthcare workers, the median level of at least one dose uptake was 87% and the median uptake for the full vaccination course was 65.2%. Increased vaccine supply has allowed countries to expand eligibility for vaccination to younger age groups.

  • 27Th April 2020
    27th April 2020 IN THE NEWS As confirmed hospital deaths from COVID-19 passed the 20,000 mark over the weekend, the UK became the fifth country to reach the tragic milestone. On Saturday, Home Secretary Priti Patel conducted the daily briefing from Downing Street, she reiterated the message urged several times in the week, for the public to continue their compliance with social distancing rules. This comes as the number of vehicles on the roads increased 2-3% over the past week and the government comes under scrutiny about the requirement to release details of a lockdown exit plan. Health Secretary Matt Hancock urged on Thursday, "We must retain our resolve and follow social distancing rules – they are working. To lift the measures too soon and to risk a second peak will be a mistake and undo all the hard work that has been done.” In his last day leading the government before Boris Johnson takes back the reins on Monday, Dominic Raab talked about the "new normal" we will need to find for the many months it will take scientists to continue their work on a vaccine. Testing – on track On Thursday, the Health Secretary announced that all essential workers and their households would be able to book a coronavirus test online from Friday, saying "It's all part of getting Britain back on her feet”. Due to high demand, the website closed on Friday and Saturday as all available slots were booked. Home testing kits are also being rolled out, as ‘test, track and trace’ programmes are hailed as a vital component in the fight against the virus.
