“Public opinion after turning in favor of further restrictions”.
“Tuairim an phobail i ndiaidh iompú i bhfábhar tuilleadh srianta”.
According to the latest research published by the Economic and Social Research Institute, ESRI, public opinion has turned in favor of the further introduction of Covid 19 restrictions.
De réir an taighde is deireanaí atá foilsithe ag an Institiúid Taighde Eacnamaíochta agus Sóisialta, an ESRI, tá tuairim an phobail i ndiaidh iompú i bhfábhar tuilleadh srianta Covid 19 a thabhairt isteach.
Professor Pete Lunn from ESRI said today that the study shows that 48% of the public are in favor of further restrictions, 38% are against them and the rest of the public do not know.
Dúirt an tOllamh Pete Lunn ón ESRI inniu go léiríonn an staidéar go bhfuil 48 faoin gcéad den phobal i bhfábhar tuilleadh srianta, go bhfuil 38 faoin gcéad ina gcoinne agus nach bhfuil a fhios ag an gcuid eile den phobal.
This research was undertaken before the government announced the new policies this week.
Tugadh faoin taighde seo sular fhógair an rialtas na beartais úra an tseachtain seo.
The research also shows, he said, that there is no basis for the speculation that young people are more likely to put themselves at risk.
Léiríonn an taighde freisin, a dúirt sé, nach bhfuil aon bhunús leis an tuairimíocht gur mó seans go gcuirfidh daoine óga iad féin i mbaol.
He pointed out that adults are just as active in their social lives as young people.
Thug sé le fios go bhfuil daoine fásta chomh gníomhach céanna ina saol sóisialta is atá daoine óga.
The health service is currently the biggest public concern, Professor Lunn said.
Is í an tseirbhís sláinte is mó atá ina húdar imní don phobal i láthair na huaire, a dúirt an tOllamh Lunn.
People are also worried about their family and friends, he said.
Tá daoine buartha freisin faoina dteaghlach agus a gcairde, a dúirt sé.
Research shows that the public accepted that the vaccine would protect them.
Léiríonn an taighde gur ghlac an pobal leis go dtabharfadh an vacsaín cosaint dóibh.
And so, they continued their social gatherings, despite an increase in the number of cases.
Agus gur mar sin, gur lean siad lena gcruinnithe sóisialta, in ainneoin ardú a bheith tagtha ar líon na gcásanna.
But, said Professor Lunn, the latest statistics show that there is a strong reversal in favor of further restrictions in this regard.
Ach, a dúirt an tOllamh Lunn, léiríonn na staitisticí is deireanaí go bhfuil iompú mór i bhfábhar tuilleadh srianta um an dtaca seo.
