With health officials reverting to their original duties later this month, press conferences held by the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) will permanently come to an end.
Sources from NPHET have indicated that while some officials will make occasional media appearances, it’s unlikely that any more press conferences will be held as Ireland exits the emergency phase of the pandemic.
This comes as the government announced that the team would be significantly scaled back after the 22nd of October.
Although public health experts will still be able to advise the government, it’s expected that a smaller team lead by the Department of Health will be implemented and that NPHET will move to ‘surveillance mode’.
It’s understood that the Department of Health currently has no plans for another media briefing.
NPHET’s last public briefing was on the 24th of August, with their latest update being issued yesterday evening through a statement that confirmed that there were 1,271 new cases of Covid-19 recorded in the country.

The UK's defence department is facing a £16.9 billion ($21.4 billion) shortfall in its equipment budget due to inflation and demands from the government's updated strategy, the public spending watchdog said Monday.
"The Ministry of Defence (MoD) acknowledges that its Equipment Plan for 2023–2033 is unaffordable, with forecast costs exceeding its current budget by £16.9 billion," the National Audit Office (NAO) said in its annual report.
In March this year, the estimated costs were £305.5 billion compared to a budget of £288.6 billion, the largest deficit since the NAO began publishing the annual report in 2012.
The outlook represented "a marked deterioration" in the financial position since last year's plan, said the report.
It said that inflation was responsible, in part, as rising costs were not fully reflected in last year's calculations.
"But more importantly, the costs of delivering major priorities" set out by the government "have increased significantly", it added.
The government outlined its ambitions in the 2023 update of its Integrated Review of defence and foreign policy priorities, "the consequences of which MoD is still working through", the NAO said.
Meg Hillier, Labour chairwoman of the Commons Public Accounts Committee, said she was "concerned about the risk to the UK" presented by the deficit.
There was a "huge gap between the military equipment government thinks it needs and the budget available to provide it," she added.
The MoD accepted that the report "recognises the significant impact global headwinds and high inflation has had on UK defence".
But it added that "it does not and could not accurately reflect the current or future state of the armed forces equipment plan."
"The report is not based on a full equipment plan and is a dated snapshot from April 2023," said a spokesman.

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) BRUSSELS, May 12 (KUNA) -- Belgian Minister of Development Cooperation Meryame Kitir launched on Thursday a new bilateral cooperation program together with Palestinian Prime Minister Shtayyeh.
For the occasion, Minister Kitir was officially received in Ramallah.
For the next five years, the Minister will focus on two priorities: empowering the young people and greening the occupied Palestinian territory, said a Belgian Foreign Ministry statement.
'With this new cooperation program, we are investing in young people so that they can build their own future. Every child deserves to grow up in a green, healthy environment and should have every opportunity to advance through education and employment,' she said.
Through the Belgian implementation agency Enabel, Minister Kitir will focus on the construction and renovation of schools. Two new schools will be built in Gaza, one in East Jerusalem and 5 existing schools will be expanded or renovated.
She will also invest in vocational training and education programs that result in a job.
In total, 2300 young Palestinians will have access to a vocational training program and at least 1800 of them will obtain a job in the end.
The second pillar Minister Kitir focuses on a healthy living environment through greening.
In the occupied Palestinian territory, the living environment suffers greatly from waste pollution and contamination. As a result, children often live in unhealthy conditions.
'By investing in recycling and waste management, children can grow up in a healthy environment. Children need green spaces to play, not concrete camps.
These projects also create green jobs and give Palestinian youth the opportunity to help improve their entire environment,' she said.
Minister Kitir pointed out that the Belgian development agency Enabel will implement the projects of the new cooperation program in Gaza, East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
For the first time, there is also a fully-fledged program for Gaza, for the situation there has rapidly deteriorated over the last years. Gaza is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with a youth unemployment rate of more than 60 percent, noted the press release. (end)

Sayyed Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, the leader of Yemen's Ansarullah movement, said that the criminality and evil forces target all the Yemenis and their public facilities.
In a televised speech, Sayyed Houthi asserted that the Saudi-US aggression on Yemen is unjustifiable, noting that the Saudi regime has always funded the plots which destabilze the regional countries.
Sayyed Houthi considered that the offensive serves the Israeli and American interests.
Saudi Arabia aimed at causing divisions in the various states in the region, yet the Yemeni people frustrated its plots and defeated its terrorist agents, according to Sayyed Houthi.

Business people have signed a tax harmonisation agreement with the county government that among other things seeks to eliminate double levies.
Through their umbrella group, Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI), the business people have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the county government to safeguard their enterprises.
The agreement signed on Thursday will promote mutual co-operation and understanding between the county and the business community to especially avoid the thorny issues of double taxation and harsh penalties for delayed tax payment.
Speaking during the signing ceremony, KNCCI Vihiga chapter’s chair Dr Billy Nyonje said the agreement will provide a platform to support and strengthen trade and investment programmes across the county.
“This MoU will allow us to have collaboration with the county government that will help in promoting local-based business while also inviting foreign investors,” said Nyonje.
Critical in the MoU is how to allow business people to be taxed only once for the major business in their establishments.
“If one has a bookshop and on the other side they have a photocopy in the same room, the county government will now be advised to only tax the dominant bookshop business,” said Nyonje.
Traders have been pushing for the county government to stop harassing business people who delay on getting business permits.
KNCCI now wants the county government to be able to enter into an agreement with the business people to have them pay for the permit in instalments across the respective financial year.
“The county will be able to discuss with us, the business community on how we can easily pay for the permits rather than impounding goods hence putting us into losses,” said Nyonje.
According to Geoffrey Vukaya, the Trade and Industrialisation Executive, the three-year deal will see the county government accept timely views from the business people on how they would want the planning and budgeting process to be done.
The county government in the MoU will also be able to woo more investors into the county on the basis of a friendly business environment.


Kathmandu, July 1
Finance Minister Barsha Man Pun has assured the private sector that the government was working towards bringing in a full-fledged budget on time forging consensus among the political parties.
Speaking at a pre-budget interaction organised by the Confederation of Nepalese Industries (CNI) at the ministry today, Finance Minister Pun said that the budget would focus on building a more investment and business-friendly environment in the country.
"The government is working to bring in a full-fledged budget on time forging consensus among the major political parties, which will help promote the investment climate in the country," Pun said.
Stating that the new budget would focus on the priority sectors such as hydropower, tourism and agriculture, Pun also ruled out the possibility of new budget being distributive.
"The expenditures of the government are almost set. We have to spend more than half of the total budget in recurrent expenditure, in paying interest and priority projects," he said, "Therefore, we have less chances of manipulating the budget."
Finance Secretary Krishna Hari Baskota tried to calm the entrepreneurs by saying that the government was not focusing only on revenue generating mission.
"If we looked at the scenario of other countries as well, there is around 20 per cent contribution of the revenue to the total gross domestic products (GDP). Compared to this, we have just reached around 15 per cent now," he said that the government aimed at increasing the revenue contribution to 20 per cent so that the country could be more self-reliant.
Meanwhile, President of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) on Sunday asked the government and the political parties to take the economic agenda and political agenda hand in hand.
Speaking at an interaction organised by the Society of Economic Journalists Nepal (SEJON) in the Capital today, President Vaidya said that the parties should give up politicking development issues.
Saying that there would be a lot of financial problems in the country if the government failed to bring in a full-fledged budget on time after forging political consensus, he urged that the government should bring in a full-fledged budget on time.
"We are not biased or guided by anyone. The budget has direct impact on the national economic development," Vaidya said adding, "We have been raising this issue for the last few years that we are in favour of common economic agendas among the major political parties.
He also urged the political parties not to hamper the economic development process in the name of politics.
On the occasion, Vaidya suggested that the government should bring in development focused budget.
"We have competition on generating revenue. Rather, there should be focused on development and creating jobs," he said.
He asked the government to focus on infrastructure development, hydropower generation, commercialisation and industrialisation of agriculture and tourism.
Expressing doubts over the rising differences among the political parties, Suresh Basnet, President of Nepal Chamber of Commerce (NCC), said that the private sector had found not the leaders being serious about the economic agendas.
He called for creating an investment climate through forging consensus among the parties.
Narendra Basnyat, Acting President of the CNI, suggested that the government should present an investment-friendly budget for the next fiscal year.


(MENAFN- IANS) Jammu, Sep 26 (IANS) There has been no change in the peaceful atmosphere in Kashmir after the Kokernag encounter, J&K Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbag Singh said on Tuesday.
Speaking to media on the sidelines of inaugurating a modular police station in Katra base camp town of Mata Vaishno Devi shrine in Reasi district, the DGP said the situation was peaceful and continues to remain peaceful after the Kokernag encounter in which two Army officers and one officer of the local police were killed.
Commenting on the Kokernag encounter, the police chief said,“I know it is the handiwork of some vested interests to blow the Kokernag encounter out of proportion. It is always advantageous for those who open first fire during encounters.
“When the security forces open fire at the terrorists first, it is to our advantage.
“In Kokernag, terrorists were waiting for the forces and took advantage of the first fire that led to the killing of two Army officers and a police officer.
“The operation took seven days and was conducted successfully. We killed dreaded LeT terrorist, Uzair Khan with his associate.
“I am proud of the security forces teams that took part in the operation as it was difficult to trace and locate the hiding terrorists on a vast mountain.
“Police and security forces are committed to root out terror from J&K. We are chasing the remaining terrorists and will eliminate them soon.
“We have increased our fight against narco-terror three times. Look at the arrests, FIRs, and cases registered with regard to narco-terror,” the police chief said.
He said that the new police station at Katra will facilitate Mata Vaishno Devi pilgrims in a better way.

"Democracy has won," he said, greeting the BJP leaders in Karnataka and Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa.
He hoped that the Centre would not misuse the Constitution and take steps against the state government.

More than 100 calls and emails have come into the police investigation team since the trouble early last week.
But there are still many rioters who have yet to be caught, and the investigation team last night called on people to look again at the images they have released.

And police have also had numerous calls naming those thought to be involved.
Det Supt Ian Mulcahey, leading the investigation, said: “I would like to thank all the members of the public who have come forward to help identify offenders and bring them to justice.

Lucknow: BSP president Mayawati alleged on Tuesday that the country had been under an "undeclared emergency" for the last four years and the people were feeling "suffocated" due to the prevailing situation.
She alleged that the attitude of the BJP governments, at the Centre and in states, was against the poor, farmers, labourers, backwards and Dalits.
Mayawati said the BJP had lost all moral rights to speak about the welfare of these sections after their continued harassment.
"The country faces a financial emergency due to demonetisation and has been facing a situation akin to an undeclared emergency for the last four years," she said in a statement issued in Lucknow.
The BSP president said people were feeling "suffocated and harassed" in the prevailing conditions.
"The BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi need to introspect on the undeclared emergency-like situation... They should find a solution to problems such as poverty, unemployment and inflation and prove their patriotism," Mayawati said.
She alleged that the BJP government resorts to "new gimmicks" and whip up communal passions on a regular basis to run away from its constitutional obligations towards people.
Making tall claims about patriotism had become their habit to hide the anti-people policies, she said.
The BSP chief also alleged that BJP leaders had a "casteist" record and their morale was so high that they were openly threatening the media.
The reservation facility had almost been made defunct and ineffective and the private sector was being promoted in a big way under the BJP rule, she charged.

Former Finance Minister Felix Mutati has called for measures to address and minimize the stress the Zambian economy is going through.
Mutati says there is further need for the government to address the pressure of debt the country had acquired.
He said that it was imperative that the government worked towards addressing the issues of liquidity for the businesses to grow and run effectively.
“The Zambian government at this moment should be striving to deal with issues of exchange rate and depleting reserves,” he said.
He believes that the government still has a chance of fixing some of the leakages in the economy.
The former Finance Minister stated that the government should also engage the business community over the implementation of Sales Tax that is replacing Value Added Tax (VAT).
“The implementation of Sales Tax is more risky than VAT,” he said.
Mutati said the government should have addressed the administrative issues of the VAT.
He noted that the current Sales Tax Bill needs some panel beating.
And the former Finance Minister has encouraged the government to prioritize the dismantling of arrears owed to the farmers.
Mutati further said that the agriculture sector was the engine of the economic development and hence the need to help and support the farmers.

SASKATOON — Mayor Charlie Clark said they are going to make sure the city will have the programs needed to help the people that are expected to be displaced if The Lighthouse ever shuts down its operations.
The provincial government last July said they are planning to seize funding for The Lighthouse in Saskatoon, a facility that has a community kitchen and emergency shelter when weather hits extreme levels among its services.
Clark said The Lighthouse is going through a turbulent time as the provincial government has also announced their desire to close the shelter, which provides emergency and temporary beds to more than 200 homeless people in the city.
However, he assured that even if The Lighthouse shuts down its operations, the city will have the needed programs to help the homeless and other people who are affected by inflation.
“What we want is to make sure that there are programs in place that can help meet the needs of people who are struggling in our streets. We’re facing a crisis in homelessness. It’s important that there be accountability and clear reporting of those programs,” said Clark.
“But also, we need a continuum of care that can effectively move people from shelters into stable housing into the kind of treatment programs and support programs that people need and ensure that we don't have people just cycling in and out of the street.”
If The Lighthouse shuts down, other temporary shelter facilities like the Salvation Army on Avenue C South and the Saskatoon Tribal Council’s Emergency Wellness Centre downtown would expect a higher number of people seeking their help, especially this coming winter.
He said that it is not only the job of the City of Saskatoon to deliver programs that would help homeless people, but it is also important to have other social services available to those who will need them.
“But it is very important to have those programs in place and even with the announced closure of those beds, there is a transition to effective service provision,” said Clark, who thanked STC for also stepping up in setting up their own centre.
“The [STC] has stepped up and opened the [emergency] wellness centre and we are working with them on expanding the ability to provide those services in a more permanent location,” said Clark.
“We know that's going to be part of the solution. I believe we still have to all work together to make sure that those beds are in place and those programs in place to move people from shelters into more stable permanent housing.”

NAGPUR: Union Minister for Transport and Shipping Nitin Gadkari said here today that the Congress has been exposed for its "double standard" on the Land Aquisition Bill and for taking an "anti-farmer" stand.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his 'Man ki Baat' radio speech that the government will not re-promulgate the Ordinance on Land Acquisition, allowing it to expire tomorrow.
Modi said that the Congress not only opposed the bill, but also showed that it is against farmers' interests, Gadkari said at a press conference here this evening.
Gadkari, who has advocated the Land Bill during several media interactions across the country, said that the government has declared its readiness to incorporate any suggestion in the bill to benefit farmers.
However, since the ordinance is being allowed to lapse tomorrow, the government has notified rules which will come into effect from today to address this "incomplete work," he said.
He said that since it is on the concurrent list, state governments are free to enact the law, adding, that during a NITI Aayog meeting, several chief ministers had agreed but chief ministers of Congress-ruled states had opposed it.
Replying to a question, he denied that the BJP-led government is on the backfoot.
He also refuted Congress president Sonia Gandhi's charges made at a rally in Patna that the BJP-led government is on the backfoot due to constant Opposition from the Congress and other like-minded Opposition parties.
"The Modi government bowed out on the Land Bill due to people's pressure against the anti-farmer bill," Sonia Gandhi had said at a rally in Patna recently.
