FM @DUPleader : “We will have very difficult decisions to take. We will take whatever action is needed based on medical evidence available.”
FM: We will listen closely to CMO & CSA. I had hoped we weren’t going to be in this place. Gatherings over Christmas period & huge crowds at Portrush & Portstewart are regrettable.
FM: “We cannot keep going in this direction or our national health service will fall over. It will not be able to cope.”
Arlene Foster: I have been disappointed with compliance levels. In March 2020 you could only leave home for a reasonable reasons - which were in legislation.

First Minister says Executive will be engaging with PSNI about enforcement:

#Coronavirus in Republic of Ireland
January 1st 2021

1,754 new cases in past 24 hours

11 new deaths confirmed by @roinnslainte

The NI Dept of Health is not publishing data today.

#Covid19
.@CMOIreland : The most concerning trend at present is the rapidly increasing number of people being admitted to hospital - we are now admitting between 50 – 70 people a day to our hospital system. Unfortunately, we expect this to get worse before it gets better.
@President_MU : A very large volume of positive tests in recent days means there is a delay in formal reporting. In excess of 9,000 additional new cases will be reported over the coming days.

NI Secretary @BrandonLewis says the UK Gov is “fully committed to implementing the Withdrawal Agreement & Northern Ireland Protocol”.
.@UKLabour’s @LouHaigh : Some fear the PM is using NI as a political football.

“How can the people of NI trust this Gov when they suggest the Protocol is necessary & then try to undermine it.”
.@LouHaigh : There was no need for it to come to this: With trust, progress could easily have been secured. We cannot afford to be a country that can’t be trusted.

.@DUPleader has been addressing the @DubCham of Commerce this evening.

She said she respected the fact that Ireland has sought to bring about solutions which would keep the UK in the closest possible future relationship with the EU....
But.... “equally Ireland has to recognise that the referendum result has to be upheld and that ultimately it is for the Government of the UK to determine whether future arrangements are compatible with the referendum result.”
Arlene Foster - speaking in Dublin this evening 👇

“I, along with the late Martin McGuinness, wrote to the then Prime Minister in August 2016 outlining our desire to see a deal that would work for NI. For our part we have not moved from that position.”

Leo Varadkar : If @BorisJohnson means what he says about leaving with a deal, then he will have to depart from what he said this week. #Brexit #MacGill19
@BorisJohnson .@LeoVaradkar says we can't rule out the possibility of an election in the UK. Says the current Irish gov is on its third UK PM. He jokes we may see a 4th.

#Brexit #MacGill19 #MacGill2019
@BorisJohnson @LeoVaradkar Taoiseach - A Withdrawal Agreement without the backstop is "essentially buying a bit of time".
