There are now strong signs the British government is preparing to trigger Article 16 of the Brexit withdrawal deal.

Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney told RTE Radio earlier he believes Boris Johnson’s government is preparing to do it immediately, following the COP26 climate summit.

It would mean a unilateral suspension of elements of the Northern Ireland Protocol – a protocol that’s aimed at avoiding a hard border on the island of Ireland.

If Article 16 is triggered, while it would not instigate a hard border, it could seriously affect free trade deals in place between the UK and the EU, and lead to a further rift between the EU and the UK.

Labour Party Brexit spokesman Brendan Howlin the British government should not rip up an agreement it sold to voters as a good deal…

The PSNI say they’ve completed an examination of a suspicious object that was found in the early hours of this morning in Derry.

Police as well as Ammunition Technical Officers examined an object that was discovered in the Clon Elagh area.

They say that the object was found after a loud bang was heard in the area at approximately 4:30 am this morning. The object in question was an aerosol can, with exploded fireworks taped to it.

Police say that their enquiries are ongoing, and that anyone with any information relating to the incident should contact Strand Road police on the non-emergency 101 number, quoting reference 638 07/11/21.

The Department of Health has reported 3,428 new confirmed cases of Covid-19.

478 patients are being treated in hospitals for the virus today – up 34 since yesterday.

Meanwhile, 75 Covid patients are in ICU – an increase of 1 in the last 24 hours.

As of the latest available HSE data, County Donegal had the eighth-highest 14-day incidence rate of the virus in the state, a rate of 832 cases per 100,000 people – above the national average of 768.

County Waterford has the highest current rate of the virus, at 1239 cases per 100,000 of the population.

A leading immunologist says Ireland would be back in lockdown now if it wasn’t for our high Covid-19 vaccination rate.

The high levels of infection seen over the past few days have continued – with 3,685 further people testing positive for the virus yesterday.

It’s the fifth day in a row the official tally has been over 3-thousand, which are case numbers not seen since January, when the peak of the second wave of the virus occurred.

Professor Luke O’Neill of Trinity College, says the only reason our hospital system hasn’t been shut down is the success of the vaccine drive:
