Everything you posted is fine and matches up to other outlets .I thought this was the official announcement in the age of Twitter!
If anyone spots discrepancies between what's been announced in the media today versus officially confirmed please post here so I can correct.
The only thing different might be if the passport office will reopen as there is 90k backlog.
The parliamentary parties have been told what's going to be announced, the news apps caveats are irrelevant.I'm seeing "set to approve" and "to sign off" on some reputable Irish news apps.
DunnoI assume this backlog is with non-online applications?
I read a poster on Boards or maybe here where an online applicant got their passport the following day

The minister said that nphet gave a much more positive assessment this time , I doubt it sure Tony holohan was trying to add more countries to the mandatory hotel quarantine a few days ago only to be rejected by government.
Also havn't heard much from nphet only what the government said what nphet said.
I think in reality the government realised that people had moved on especially after last weekend, the UK and North are opening substantially and also the economic stresses of continued lockdowns is really weighing now. They need to get people off PUP and back to work as quickly as possible now
