If allowing just over 1% of the population to attend school 3 days a week with no one else in the schools is the difference between getting this back under control or not, then we truly are f*cked

We are like? Have you seen the hospitalisation figures?

Norma Foley saying schools have delivered all that has been asked of them and more. The "generosity of heart and spirit" isn't going to make this terrible plan a success.

Who are frontline healthcare workers. That needs to be on a chart. How do we ensure those sending children in are entitled?

Gav Reilly out with a beautifully-worded zinger asking is the LC really worth this massive risk and is it fair to hold them.

If his government hadn't opened up hospitality just before everyone got together for Christmas then many people wouldn't have mixed and spread the virus.

Policy failure is as much to blame as individuals.

Norma Foley had to be shaken awake this time to start saying whatever it is she is saying now. She's not prepared at all. I don't think she was going to speak.

Why are you so eager to apportion blame?

They stay at home and distance learn? This is nothing new actually.

The DoE has a directive specifically saying that there is no provision for students who require distance learning due to medical conditions.

Piont of order, for statistical purposes 28,000 is a massive sample. And as long as the criteria remains the same we can compare data. If in a week we started testing asymptomatic contacts again then would would no longer be able to compare

28k out of 5 million though, and not randomly selected or based on any criteria.

Will this be in the history or english papers?

Norma Foley saying now that they already did a Leaving Certificate successfully in November. An absolutely miniscule quantity of students sat that.

She is now saying that it is the shared objective of all that we do the traditional LC. That is a blatant lie.

Mics muted so journalists effectively can't follow-up for clarity when absolutely unacceptable lies are given as answers.

It's just much easier to do that and it is largely based on frustrations and/or fears around COVID.

I know it would take massive organization but every student is studying a good few subjects that aren't relevant to their future career, could we drop everyone down to 4 subjects, A-level style, so that they all had much less to do and missing this month (and months last year) wouldn't make a difference to them

Good to see the exemptions for education

Badly needed

WoollyRedHat · 06-01-2021 05:38PM

There will be continuing engagement with NI Executive on the border question.

41% of people who tested positive for Covid coming from Britain to Ireland had the new mutated strain.

titan18 · 06-01-2021 05:39PM

Wouldn't mind being a leaving cert student and being exempt from covid. Must be nice.

28k out of 5 million is statistically a massive sample. True that is not random, but it is highly representative of those with symptoms, and those with symptoms are representative of the population

No surprise really in that info

That's not what he said at all. This is the danger of people interpreting facts when they have an agenda.

He said that of those who tested positive for Covid coming in from the UK, 41% had the new strain of Covid.

!? really? Wow! or is it 41% of the people who arrived from UK to IRL who tested positive for covid also tested positive for the new strain?

Nearly half of the people travelling to Ireland had covid? Or just that nearly half of those who had covid had the new strain?

Sorry I know which one you said but I'm just shocked if that's it

Weeks of "hospitality this, hospitality that" while the barn door (airports) was left open. Face-palm.

No one is exempt but there has to be acceptable risk.

It's still not good, considering a lot of them will not have isolated..

41% with COVID had the UK variant. Not 41 % of all passengers from UK

Apologies, he mumbled half the sentence so I didn't catch that part.
