The Department of Health has confirmed 1,361 new cases of Covid-19 in the Irish Republic. There remain 160 patients in our hospitals, all who have tested positive for the disease, a rise of 8 patients in the past 24 hours. The number of persons in our ICU’s remains unchanged at 26.
Here in the Irish Republic Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Holohan has stated that the incidence of Covid-19 in Ireland is mainly among those aged 13 to 34 years.
In Northern Ireland, there have been 1,471 new infections and, sadly, 2 deaths reported over the same period.
These figures confirm a combined total of 2,832 covid-19 cases on the island of Ireland over the past 24 hours; down 176 on yesterday’s combined figures.
While Chief medical officer Dr. Tony Holohan stated last Wednesday that Ireland had one of the highest rates of vaccine uptakes in the world, and added that the country could be just “weeks away” from lifting further restrictions; An Taoiseach Mr Micheál Martin has ruled out the possibility of a massive easing of Covid-19 restrictions, similar to England’s so called “freedom day”.
Meanwhile, the European Medicines Agency said it has confidence in the safety and efficacy of mRNA Covid-19 vaccines for use among those aged 12 to 15 year olds. EMA Executive Director Ms Emer Cooke has stated that the already impressive performance of both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines in older populations, has been replicated in children’s trials.

Two passengers were “doing lines of cocaine” off the table on a train travelling through Thurles, from Dublin (Séan Heuston Station) to Cork (Thomas Kent Station), according to one of some 26 complaints lodged with Irish Rail in the past 18 months (January 2020 to June 2021).
One of the longest railway lines in Ireland at 266 kilometres (165 mls); in 2018, 3.46 million passengers travelled on this same Dublin /Cork line.
In all the complaints received of antisocial behaviour on this Irish Rail route; indeed several relate to drug use. A similar complaint said two passengers had a number of plastic bags and drugs on a table, which they were consuming, quite openly.
The other reports received involve details relating to drunkenness, harassment and threatening behaviour, latter which in the case of one lady; saw a report that one passenger threatened that he would hit her on the head with a bottle and machete (long flat bladed knife), if she did not talk to him.
Mr Dermot O’Leary, (National Bus and Rail Union), has called for a dedicated transport police force to be setup.
“The Cork-Dublin line is like a drug route at this stage. Our members certainly know who the drug-dealers and mules are; carrying these drugs,” Mr O’Leary stated.
Irish Rail have confirmed that the Dublin to Cork line passing through Thurles town is their busiest route; with the vast majority of journeys occurring without incident.
