THERE HAVE BEEN a further 1,299 new cases of Covid-19 confirmed in Northern Ireland in the past 24 hours.
In its latest update this afternoon, the Department of Health said a further two deaths have also been reported.
Fresh restrictions were announced earlier this week for the six counties in Northern Ireland amid an alarming surge in cases in recent weeks.
Last night, First Minister Arlene Foster said she respectfully disagrees with a leading medical body’s assessment that new restrictions for Northern Ireland are “too little, too late”.
Arlene Foster was responding to a claim from the British Medical Association NI that only a full lockdown could have prevented the health service falling off a Covid cliff edge.
She said: “I say that because not only do I have to look at the health outcomes in these issues, but of course the economic outcomes, the societal outcomes, the education of our young people… and therefore I think that what we came forward with was an action plan which has been blended to try and deal with all of those issues, not for one minute taking away from the huge challenge that lies in front of us all in relation to Covid-19.”

what is in some people that makes them do sick things like this to their own?
What’s with all these disgusting incidents?
what a horrific experience for her but unfortunately this is Ireland so… spoiler alert: suspended sentence
Yep 1. He was too drunk to know what he was doing 2. He’s very, very, very sorry 3. Jail would be cruel to a man of his age and health. I will be amazed if any kind of justice is served sadly.
People like this can not be reformed or helped..sick sick man
A new low. A vile sick man. He should die in a cold lonely prison cell.
Lock him up and throw away the key
Abusing children is incomprehensibly horrific itself. But your own kid. Your own child. My god. How can a person be so evil.
How sad. The fact that he would do that to his own daughter, even though he was drunk, I think he would’ve known it was wrong. He gave her a heartfelt apology. Great, he gave her that. But he destroyed her life. You can never just say sorry and that’ll mend it. You can’t just give her life back.
If only he was foreign he would get 5 years
Xenophobe /s
Too much of this going on in the world. Animals
Don’t insult animals please.
Unfortunately our court and judicial system are too lenient. This guy is a monster no more no less. Hanging would be too good for him. Maybe he’s sorry maybe he was drunk maybe he was whatever. … not excuses lock him up in gen pop and let the others sort him out
Hhj
