    Suggested initiative: Hire some of the people who have lost jobs in the hospitality industry as reserve Gardaí to ensure compliance with the measures implemented. The kicks in every time we hit level 3 restrictions.

    What takeovers? They're cooperating, it's not a takeover.

    For a hefty price though.

    If we (well the UK would have to be included) had done a 2-3 week militarized total lockdown like China, airports included, life would be back to normal and none of this would be talked about.

    People show so much horror at the talk of such 2-3 weeks, and yet.....are willing to accept what is now half a year, very likely into next year, of endless quasi lockdown rollercoaster vomit? In what possible world is this any better and the preferable option?

    Any synopsis of Claire Byrne to save me the agony?

    Just more glad-handing and excuses I assume... Hope it works out for the government. If not, hope they react in a timely fashion. It's a wreckless gamble.

    Blonde Bob, damn sexy woman, very sharp, lovely voice, credit to Laois, probably a bit too careerminded, might sell her Granny and yours too, but would be a grand distraction for a few months.

    Glynn should've been left in charge of NPHET.

    Whatever the reason ? Such a nice comment :(

    He was only diagnosed on Friday, so hardly fit enough to leave hospital.

    They only claim diagnosis was on Friday, but they've dug themselves into so many holes it's likely to have been before that.

    So, in a nutshell...Tony/NPHET believe we're headed for level 5 regardless. Going there straight away would be more prudent as it would lessen the disruption.

    Personally I think the govt likely agree but can't, politically, stomach it. They're going to plod along till the mid term school break and then keep the kids home for 2 weeks rather than 1...

    Leaked by NPHET was my impression. Open to correction though.

    Government side I'd reckon. What would NPHET have to benefit from leaking? Was going to be published after either way. Allowed government sources to brief against them

    This is a cushy wee number for her and great publicity for her pharmacies.

    Thought Leo did well on Clair Byrne . Nphets level 5 aspirations were nonsensical . He didn’t quite throw them under the bus but he very nearly did .

    And wasn't it leaked by the government?

    Based on the last hour, it wouldn't be unlikely.

    Will we give them any training?

    Or do they even need it?

    This is a cushy wee number for her and great publicity for her chain pharmacies.

    No PUP payments needed by her.

    She had the Covid too. And got tested very quickly, mind. She had major trouble breathing at night and 3 days later was broadcasting from home.
    Yeah right....
