Outstanding move. Your heart would break for the thousands of genuinely good people who work in Irish health services, being managed by the greatest shower of incompetents... (Any guesses what the ratio of female:male "refusals" under this new screening system will be?)

A meme from the Simpsons cartoon where the bus driver says, "Don't make me tap the sign." 
The meme infers that something comes up so frequently that the driver has put up a sign to address it. The meme is usually followed by another image, superimposed on the sign in the bus.
An image of a well-known graph showing the incidence of left-handedness from the year 1880 to 2000. The incidence of left-handedness starts off at around 5% in the 1880s and drops as low as 3% by 1910, then rises swiftly until around 1960 where it plateaus at just under 12% until current times. The chart illustrates how the punishment or unfair treatment of left-handed people (particularly children in school) can artificially suppress the natural occurrence of left-handedness in the general population.

Given the media backlash to the "trend" of neurodivergence self-diagnosis (or awareness), I'd have thought 1-in-10 is quite a low prevalence. Could it be that the mainstream media and its commentators are... blowing it out of proportion?!

"Doctors are puzzled by a mysterious rise in..." It's Covid. "Schools report higher absentee rates due to..." That's Covid too. "This previously rare illness is spreading in..." Yep, Covid is the underlying issue. "You can't just blame everything on Covid, Kieran!" I can, and I will.

Assuming the K*te M*ddl*ton thing turns out to be a non-story - or nothing majorly controversial at least - we're about to get an interesting sociological insight into the impact of the sunk cost fallacy on conspiracy theorists.
