Ireland is… Ireland.
So the original recommendations were made by a group put together for this pandemic, with “experts”, called NPHET (apparently similar to the name of some obscure deity btw). Chief Medical Officer is Tony Holohan, who had previous form with Swine Flu Vaccine & Cervical Smear testing f*ck ups. IMO he just takes orders from WHO. Everyone else takes orders from him, but there are others in the group.
Who are all now leaving/resigning.
The Dáil (parliament) originally passed emergency legislation to give the Minister for Health authority to pass Statutory instruments on his own authority, which had the force of law (note I’m not a lawfag, so wording may be inaccurate, but this is Ireland so even if the above isn’t legally sound it is in place & that’s that).
The latest move for masking will I think be a new Bill. Not sure. They’ve done guidelines, recommendations, statutory instruments, emergency legislation (with extensions) , and I think amendments to an older health act. It gets confusing. Probably intentionally.
