    Except that teachers are busting a gut providing resources and online content from Junior Infants to Leaving Cert. The teachers in my kids' school were in yesterday (a public holiday) creating individual packs for each child & registering them all for an online service where the teacher can correct work, upload work & provide more content. If teaching is such a cushy number you may be glad to hear that the CAO is open every year and you can apply to become one. Off with you.

    They are doing a good job of it regardless of what you think. You’re just another hysterical mouthpiece on the internet who’s opinion means **** all in the scheme of things so better off shutting it.

    You've made about 4 posts on this thread, all anti Catholic. Get over yourself and try and think of the greater good.

    There's nothing worse than a bigoted 'liberal'.

    Care to point out any of those other anti-catholic posts you claim I've made?

    Any....
    Do it, or retract your BS.

    I was giving Trump stick for his Irish Pharmaceutical comments earlier on (which were an indirect dig at Ireland) and got ambushed by a gaggle of Trump lovers. Not sure if you joined in.

    I told you that he didn't actually say that because if you listen to what he said he actually said Ireland was doing tremendous work.

    For the 3rd time here is the video, listen to what he says.

    For sure.

    The Spanish flu spreaders were soldiers at ww1. The Spanish flu was controlled or eased when the war ended and the soldiers stopped travelling.


    With this virus, the spreaders are tourists/travellers. If this virus continues and chances are it will, this will have to stop. Or forced quarantine for every traveller/ tourist into every country.

    I don't know what were waiting on this move.

    Our kids' teachers are setting weekly work, correcting emailed homework and answering questions.

    Only issue with this announcement is that the mass should be shown on RTE One and not News Now. What happens when there a press conference while the mass is being shown.

    Did you hear the whole comment? The context? It was in the context of bringing Pharmaceutical jobs home.

    In Trump defence, China was trying to control the coronavirus narrative by suggestion the virus was spread by US army to China. Before that Trump was never used the term "Chinese Virus". I think he is trying to remind people the virus is originated from China, rather then being a racist. To be honest I don't find the term offensive, maybe a bit insensitive, or not too diplomatic. I am writing this as an ethic Chinese btw.

    The journos are just as bad as Trump. Some of the questions about China are just off the wall.


    One thing that I picked up on is that the Americans have now copped that their stockpiled 10,000 ventilators in storage are not enough and they will be "getting" more. The US journos are all over this.

    The question now for journos in Ireland to Tony Holohan is what they have done to secure the existing ventilator stock from Medtronic who are based at various locations in Ireland, but who are an American Company!!!!

    Get them now!!!! It wont just be the Americans scrambling for them.

    If you know an Irish journo attending the Health Briefing tonight pass this on to them.

    First off, I'm a teacher so obviously I'm biased. However, I fail to see the benefit of your suggestion? Ok the government won't haveto pay our wages, but they also won't receiveback the taxes/usc/prd etc. that are deducted from our salaries.

    Secondly teachers also won't be able to pay bills/mortgages/spend money which will further depress the economy. I assume also that when I go on the dole in 'solidarity' that I can also cease teaching my students? Because currently I'm still working.

    All I can see this doing is appeasing the ill-informed and begrudging teacher bashers. But please enlighten me if I missed something?

    I think you may be confusing me, and indeed my contributions to these threads with someone else.

    Like I said, present one example from any of the Covid threads other than haunty bread of my "catholic-bashing"?

    You do know the rule here is attack the post?
    Not the poster?

    prove your claim?

    You will have thousands of elderly stuck in their homes, if this gives them comfort so be it. "No atheists in a foxhole".

    My father was VERY far from a holy Joe but in his last year of sickness mass broadcast via a speaker relay system, like some sort of CB radio thingy, into his room at home, brought him great comfort. Just to feel connected and contemplative and quiet.

    This constant anti-religion band wagon that people love to jump on is bloody boring and annoying. The same people would be marveling at Buddhist shrines on their holidays and being respectful at Muslim sacred places, but for some reason they have a visceral hatred of what is on their door step. It is not just old people who get a bit of relief from religion, a fair few of my friends are religious in their own quiet ways. I do not attend their masses but it would never cross my mind to feel anything other than endearment for their spiritual convictions. This modern liberalism that is so tolerant of every goddamn kink, fetish and neurotic oddity in human nature is so bizarrely authoritarian when it comes to ordinary people's quiet faith and matters of conscience. Rack off.

    It was in the context of not totally depending on only China for imports of these products!!

    He said Ireland is doing tremendous work so can be a source of these products! At the end he said he wanted to bring manufacturing home in the context of the original point of not depending on China for Pharma products.

    You are hearing what you want to hear.

    I hate the prick but he did not say what you are saying.

    (I listened to the whole thing live yesterday so do get the context)

    not at all, the poster claims I have made multiple anti catholic posts on this thread.
    Thats why I asked him to show me....

    He is basing that claim on the haunty bread post, the 1 I did make.

    What a nasty piece of work.

    Fake News!
    Not hugely important in the current situation, but he didn't say that.
    He actually complimented Ireland in the context of being an alternative to China, for the supply of pharmaceutical and medical devices.
    "Ireland.... a tremendous producer of pharmaceuticals..."

    Here's the youtube link to yesterday's press conference, the question is asked at 1:17:30,
