The Department of Health has confirmed 1,380 new cases of Covid-19 in the past 24 hours, here in the Irish Republic.
The number of people in our hospitals stands at 459, up 53 patients on yesterday’s reported figures. There are 74 patients being treated in our intensive care units for the virus, up a further 3 persons over the same period.
Immunologist Professor Luke O’Neill has stated that persons aged over 60 should be given a Covid-19 booster vaccine as soon as possible. With around a 40% increase in Covid-19 hospitalisations in under three weeks; he further stated that the data from Israel is compelling and it would be effective to ensure people have further protection from the virus. There also should be a rapid deployment of the booster campaign, just as soon as the National Immunisation Advisory Council (NIAC) gives same the green light, he commented.
In Northern Ireland, 966 new cases were confirmed by their Department of Health, together with, sadly, a further 4 deaths also confirmed.
Same brings to 2,346 the number of new virus cases reported here on the island of Ireland, over the past 24 hours.
Choosing to get vaccinated is an act of protection for yourself, as it may save your life; but it is also an act of solidarity with others; the more of us that get vaccinated, the safer we all will be.

Taxpayers money continues to be wasted on Liberty Square, Thurles, Co. Tipperary, with brand new signage positioned too close to the kerb; already demonstrating to so called engineers the serious error of their designs.
Street lanes have been designed too narrow and as we already forecast, high sided vehicles will continue to end up with long scratches on their bodywork. The days of slow moving donkey and cart transport finished a long time ago here in rural Ireland.
Meanwhile, up in the Parnell Car-park clothespod.ie are continuing to support Tipperary County Council. [Due to Covid 19 restrictions and staff shortages, they would like to apologize for any delay in their container Pods being serviced.]
Once again, this week the clothes pods were packed to overflowing yesterday; resulting in the mess in the picture shown above.
In one case clothing has been pulled out, obviously someone was looking for brand items labelled; Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Gucci, Ralph Lauren, or even an accidentally discarded Versace and not necessarily in their size.
Once again proof, as if proof was needed, Thurles citizens are getting no benefit from their compulsory property tax.
Where is Thurles town’s expensive CCTV setup?
The waste of taxpayers’ money continues.
It was with great sadness that we learned of the death, today, Saturday 16th October, 2021, of Mr Liam Troy, Piercetown, Thurles, Co. Tipperary.
Mr Troy passed away peacefully while in the care of staff at the Stroke Unit of South Tipperary University Hospital, surrounded by his family.
Pre-deceased by his sister Phyllis and brother Dick; his passing is most deeply regretted by his loving wife Julie, daughters Ellen, Anne and Julia, sons-in-law Denis and Trevor, grandson Theo, sister Eileen, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nephews, nieces, extended relatives, neighbours and wide circle of friends.
Requiescat in Pace.
Funeral Arrangements
The earthly remains of Mr Troy will repose at Kennedy’s Funeral Home, Dublin Road, Thurles, on Monday evening, October 18th, from 5:30pm to 7:00pm for family and close friends.

The Department of Health has confirmed 2,180 new cases of Covid-19 here in the Republic of Ireland in the past 24 hours.
There are 406 people being treated in our hospitals for the virus, down seven on yesterday’s figures, with the number of people in intensive care units at 71, down two on yesterday’s figures also.
Immunologist Professor Kingston Mills has stated that any decision on the further reopening of society should include extending the use of Covid vaccine certs.
Professor Mills believes the reason the cases are currently so high here in the Republic of Ireland is down to several factors, including Ireland’s proximity to Northern Ireland and the UK, where the virus remains somewhat out of control.
Northern Ireland
Another 1,218 cases of the virus were also notified by the Department of Health in Northern Ireland today, down from 1,349 yesterday.
The latest hospital figures show there are 348 patients with Covid-19 in hospitals in Northern Ireland today, with 37 patients in intensive care beds, both figures unchanged since yesterday.
Sadly, 4 more coronavirus-related deaths have been reported today in Northern Ireland also.
Choosing to get vaccinated is an act of protection for yourself, as it may save your life; but it is also an act of solidarity with others; the more of us that get vaccinated, the safer we all will be.
