    Why does junior ministers need special advisors?

    Because they're of such poor quality.

    Cause they’re junior I guess..... mind you a lot of senior ministers are just as wet behind the ears so go figure....

    Would depend on the Department but you might have a specialist in climate change for example or city infrastructure. They'd be led by their advice in decision making.

    To supply them with appropriate relevant data so that rational fact-based polices may be devised and promulgated for the overall benefit of society. Duh!

    That was absolutely the most bizarre and nonsensical story I've seen written on this forum.

    Takes some doing :D

    Not a great time of year for it. You might get some swedes and broccoli in the ground for winter.

    Rates in Cork beginning to look quite scary now. 34 cases today...

    If you adjusted that to compare to Dublin...it would be like having 200+ cases a day in Dublin or more. WOW

    WOW is right, how the hell did you come to that conclusion

    There's vacancies nationwide never mind a reserve.

    Science degrees are not the same as an accredited, registered qualification. The same as science degrees cant be used for other HSCP professions.

    And no one would want to work for less pay, poorer conditions and unsocable hours in the current state.

    I meant people to be trained on PCR techniques etc.

    Anyone with a science degree which involved lab work could easily be trained in this and it could be certified. They wouldn't need to have the breadth of training of a fully fledged medical scientist.


    They would go with their normal job apart from the occasional day off for training and could be called upon during a pandemic. Same as an army reserve but with pipettes instead of guns.
