    Phillip is correct that they have removed the point from the original document that older people will need to be cocooned until the 5th phase.

    Fair play to that Western Media woman, she was dead right to pursue him. That family chose to tell their story and that he doesn't have the specific information is irrelevant. In general, it is absolutely not safe in hospitals for regular patients with any kind of vulnerabilities. I hope the HSE are continuously held to account. They're just now saying that they have compassionate grounds to allow family members access their dying relatives. Where was their compassion with that family.

    the best way is to ask a general question about policy and not mention or refer to any person at all, then you might get an answer, once you mention a name he won't and probably can't answer.

    It makes a bit more sense now. Knowing who she is.

    Holahan showed far more patience there than he needed to imo. That was a totally unreasonable line of questioning, bordering on unhinged.

    Total lack of respect towards a man who has earned the whole Countries respect.

    Between Zara King and Jemima Burke the standard of 'questioning' at these press conferences is embarrassing.

    The lockdown will end soon as the 'money tree' is nearly bare. Speaking to a senior government official today and he says our borrowing capacity is under real threat.

    Of course it is. People are in cloud cuckoo land and no amount of spelling out the figures to them will get through. If we can’t borrow then it’s curtains I’m afraid and severe cuts across the board.

    There's huge differences in the quality between journalists.

    The Chief Medical Officer said in the first 21,929 of those diagnosed with Covid-19, 71.6% or 17,110 had recovered in the community and 1,399 people had been discharged from hospital.

    Thanks, missed that.

    Irish Refugee Council wants all asyum seekers to have own door access etc.

  • I said it last week, 2 weeks after Denmark started opening shops up there were images online and reports that social distancing had basically gone out the window.

    Some posters here said not to draw conclusions from 1 country but it's quite obvious its human nature and not just 1 country.

    I agree. The concept that we will collectively have the discipline to socially distance is an absolute nonsense, even in the short term. Social distancing needs to be assumed to be unworkable, and other measures out in place around configurations of indoor places, limits on numbers, face coverings, testing and tracing etc

    If we’re copying South Korea, the answer is masks.

    I thought he did well considering the extended barrage of incomprehension he had to face.
