Taoiseach Micheál Martin yesterday criticised the “free for all” in the lifting of all lockdown restrictions in Britain. He warned that if the epidemiological situation worsens in the UK, it can “spill over” into Ireland. However, he declined to say if unvaccinated people should travel to the UK, saying that “the public health advice stands and has merit”. He warned that if “things go wrong” across the pond, there will be a “spillover effect” here. Over 100 global experts have signed a letter accusing the UK government of conducting a “dangerous and unethical experiment” and urging it to reconsider its plans to abandon all restrictions.
