Establishment of Health Agency in Response to COVID-19 Learnings"

In response to lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, Ireland has approved the establishment of a new health agency focused on infectious diseases, pandemic preparedness, and other emerging public health threats, based on recommendations from the Public Health Reform Expert Advisory Group.^[1] @Aku-PDF-Finder @INgIEroC @Edl-irishboy Hello. Can this be added? Ear-phone (talk) 20:50, 7 September 2023 (UTC) Ear-phone (talk) 20:50, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ear-phone, apologies for the late reply - I'm no longer active on the COVID pages - but I have added your proposed addition on the lead section of this page and on the Irish government response to the COVID-19 pandemic page. Hope all is well. Edl-irishboy (talk) 15:57, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Edl-irishboy TY. I hope all is good. Ear-phone (talk) 22:19, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Broken" graphs = "broken" article

Hi. As noted by Fran Bosh last year (above), there are a significant volume of scripts on this page. Almost all of them are too "aggressive" to run successfully within the 10 second timeout. In all honesty I would question the sense in having scripts and graphs that never (ever) display. (If the information in the graph is never (ever) displayed to the reader; And, worse, other (downstream) information also never displayed to the reader - because it was blocked by the failure of an earlier script/graph; Then what is the point?) The editors who have added these graphs/scripts/etc should perhaps consider whether some of the information needs to be moved to other articles. Where they can be run within the 10 second timeout. Or displayed as images or something instead. (Much of the content of this article has otherwise been dead/broken/obscured for well over a year. Or more. And what's the point in that?)
