I am writing to you in light of coverage today of the Final Report of the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes, which is to be published on Tuesday. It was always my intention that survivors should be the first to hear of the main conclusions of the Commission’s Report, and the actions the Government plan to take on foot of it. My Department has worked hard to maintain the confidentiality of the Report prior to publication, and to arrange for the first public airing of its contents to be with survivors in the online forum being hosted by the Taoiseach and myself on Tuesday, following the Cabinet meeting. I was deeply angered to see details of the reported leaked in a newspaper this morning. I am very sorry that many of you have found out elements of the Report in this way. It is not acceptable. My Department will be engaging colleagues across Government to ensure that no further information becomes public until the official publication on Tuesday.

Some real investigation of why the numbers here are better than the North and better than the UK is needed. If it wasn't for Britain and Northern Ireland, could we be doing much better?

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar’s criticism of the National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet) on RTÉ’s Claire Byrne Live programme in October was supported by most people who wrote to him over his remarks. Newly disclosed emails from the public show the vast majority of people who felt compelled to write to the Tánaiste about his remarks backed him after a television appearance that showed, for the first time, very public division between the Government and its public health advisers.

Then we have the tinfoil hat brigade trying to have another anti lockdown convoy from Dublin to Belfast yesterday but the PSNI stopped them at Cloughoge roundabout in Newry before sending them back over the border. The PSNI contacted the Gardai who then took them off the motorway at Majors Hollow just north of Dundalk. This is the 2nd week in a row these fools were able to drive the whole way from Dublin to the border without being stopped even though they posted on social media what they were doing but yeah it's the norths fault...... Deflection won't work this time. All this started back when Leo undermined NPHET on TV - people started to question what they were telling us but we know now they were right and Leo was wrong......
