Another big day.

NPHET and Cabinet meeting on Phase 4 restrictions:

🔴 Last night the Health Minister wouldn't be drawn on likelihood of reopening pubs, but said it's factually correct to say there are more cases now than when "pause" was pressed on Phase 4 a few weeks ago.
✈️ Travel will be on the agenda again for Cabinet.

🔬 Random testing at airports will be discussed.

🦠 Outbreaks in some countries could see them removed from the Green List.
💒 Wedding planners will be watching closely to see if gatherings of up to 100 people indoors will be allowed.

🏐⚽ Sports leagues more hopeful that gatherings of up to 500 people outdoors will be permitted.

Latest on @VirginMediaNews throughout the day.

#COVID19
Optimism about reopening pubs has been dwindling among Cabinet ministers over recent days.

One metric to look at is the five day average of new cases.

Yesterday: 53.

July 15th (when Phase 4 was initially paused): 19.

Nearly three times as many new cases daily on average.
One relief has been that NPHET says it knows where the majority of new cases are coming from - they've generally been seeing clusters and close contacts.

Only a small number of new cases over the past two days have been of community transmission (cases "in the wild")
Meanwhile, number of registrations of the #CovidTracker app is now up and over 1,500,000. Image

#BREAKING

Wow.

United States offering a reward of up to $5,000,000 for information leading to the disruption of the Kinahan organisation - or the arrest and conviction of the three leaders of the Kinahan group.
Garda Commissioner Drew Harris says he hopes today will be a crippling blow to the Kinahans.

He says the OCG is believed to have made over €1bn in revenue.
"This is only the first phase of this initiative," says Harris - who says other nations in Spain, the Netherlands and beyond have already offered huge help and will continue to play a major role.

The US Government has imposed sanctions on senior members of what it describes as the 'Notorious Kinahan Organized Crime Group'

home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
A major, major step by Gardaí and law enforcement in the US and UK against the Kinahan group.

The US sanctions mean American institutions can't work with the Kinahans or associated businesses.

Property and credit lines blocked, cards frozen, can't fly with American carriers.
“Criminal groups like the KOCG prey on the most vulnerable in society and bring drug-related crime and violence, including murder, to the countries in which they operate."

Brian E Nelson, US under-secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence.
