Well didn't she announce to the nztion last year that she was going reregister with the medical council. Did she?

No idea to be honest.

Not according to my immediate family member who is a GP.

One thing we can be sure of is she would have told us about it had she actually gone ahead with it.

It's public domain stuff: https://www.medicalcouncil.ie/public-information/check-the-register/

She's not, but she still was a year ago. Her reg number was 021248.

meeeeh

I might be wrong but what she was announcing last year was that she will sign up to the HSE Ireland's call or whatever that recruitment drive was called. I don't think many people were called from that and almost nobody was needed last spring..

Why would she return into profession she left outside volunteering for something?

Well if I had trained for 10 years to work in a profession where I could actively help and save people's lives I'd get a lot more job satisfaction out of that than bantering with Alan Quinlan on a Monday morning about soccer matches neither of them have probably watched.

I think probably is redundant.

However people do what they think is right for them and not what others feel they should sacrifice themselves for.

I agree. I'm just speaking from a personal perspective what I personally would find more rewarding.

Each to their own.

Really frustrating listening to that Senator Malcolm Byrne guy this morning. He is working to "introduce a Bill entitled an Act to restrict the use of the terms Óglaigh na hÉireann and Defence Forces to the defence forces raised and maintained under the Defence Acts 1954 to 2015"

Does he honestly think this is the best use of his time in the service of the State? And does he think such an act would actually dissuade anybody who did want to use the term Óglaigh na hÉireann for their own ends from doing so? Seems like this is 100% politically motivated and a complete waste of State money.

Is that the same Oglaigh na hEireann that has ships tied up in ports and helicopters grounded because this lads party won't pay their personnel?

She probably thinks she's a "key worker" in that role.
The "Quinny" nickname is so cringe esp. coming from herself.

Pretty sure that's already in law anyway!

Ciara likely wants to be an insta hun type career wise now I imagine.

Del.Monte

More flirting this morning - very professional.

It's horrendous, she'll be selling tat made in China on her instagram yet... #100daysofwalking
Serious pain in the head.....

Azatadine

You would have to wonder if the powers that be realise that she is clearly out of her depth, unprofessional and has horrendous interview etiquette?

She personalises everything also, had huge issue with the estimated LC grades as one of her kids didn't get the benefit of going to private school.
Yet she trys to be a devout lefty most of the time, the veil slips on occasions (a few times a week at least).

Her line of questioning this morning something like "so folk with their own bog can burn turf but poor people who can't afford to retrofit their homes can't minister" .......... exactly Ciara, what's the problem with that exactly?

Surely you don’t think that Newstalk would do anything that might seem to a woke person like they were treating a woman unfairly.

We are not talking about a George Hook here.:eek:

Murdoc90

Can't stand either of them, Shane is a smug ar*ehole. Ciara with her fake empathy again this morning talking to a woman who lost her husband to covid. Yet banging the "open up everything and get on with life" drum because cases are below 1000.

Sil on Newstalk this morning, must be Funny Friday. Joe will be raging he's on the enemy station, he referenced that he was cancelled from his show on Liveline and friends stopped ringing him. Wonder if Joe is one of those friends.

Quite sad to have to get to that age to find out who your friends are.

Oh I heard them saying that they were going to be speaking to him, but missed the item cos I had to take a phone call. I didn't know he would reference liveline - must listen back.

I wonder how much the 2 get paid for the show? 50 or 60k

that's hardly enough to warrant not practicing as a GP? I'm sure Ciara is as fond as the € as she is of screeching on the radio.

Probably closer to 100k I'd imagine because I don't know why a doctor would leave her GP role to shout on the radio every morning for half the pay.

Nice vivid imagination there.

Is the lockdown getting to you, perhaps?

You can multiply that by a factor of 1.5-2.5.
