    Having being sidetracked with irrelevant matters (Current affairs and news.) Claire has steered the ship back towards important matters; skincare and prepping ones hair for the reopening of salons next week.

    ^its all part of the dumbing down and general infantilisation of the citizens, let them eat cake and leave all the important matters to those that know, no need to be bothering the electorate with all that complicated talk about policy and stuff. The pandemic has shown how easily a people can be cowed and steered and im sure the powers that be have taken notes

    The show needs straightening, not hair.

    The issue is supply ,paying pharmacists to give the vaccine solves nothing when there is no vaccine to give. The distribution rate of vaccines received is above 90%.
    .
    I didn't hear the programme, so I don't know if the pharmacist referred to it, but we have considerably more vaccines this week than we can deliver.

    I understand that this was not the case 2 weeks ago, I'm not certain about last week. I think it is a new development.

    €60 million every extra, unnecessary day. Every single day counts.

    That was not mentioned in the programme.

    What is the source of your information? , remember 50% of the Modern vaccine has to be retained as per the contract terms, this causes the gap between received and delivered to be exaggerated.

    Brendan O'Connor show last Sunday. Over 310,000 doses were received last week. I'm aware of the Moderna retention, but these were Astra Zeneca and Pfizer, which now need fewer hold-backs due to prolonged vaccination dosages.

    I suppose we will see for sure next week. I think the plan for this week is about 240,000.

    Media monitoring of supply and delivery is very patchy, perhaps the data is quite opaque. I'd have thought this is where FOI comes in handy.

    Interesting how RTE have been putting forwards ads presenting themselves as the source of all truth and to be aware of those bad people on the Internet telling you lies. As it turns out, even the Government thinks RTE are telling you lies at this stage.

    So who is lying, the Government or RTE?

    I thought the RTE response yesterday was quite poor tbh - semantics over the wording, given how they presented it at the time.

    Does anyone really care that Kate O'Connell isn't standing for FG in the bye election.

    I've switched off. This revelation isn't exactly exciting news.

    Why should the public care about the internal machinations of Fine Gael constituency politics

    Poor Kate is throwing a right little tantrum. Basically insulted that she was being asked to go to a convention and not annointed with the nomination.

    I like her forthright nature, but I don't think she's coming across well here. She is coming across as a bit entitled. Why doesn't she run as an independent.

    She's really throwing the toys out of the pram here. It's a misoginystic ant-culchie hit on her. She's been royally shafted, according to her. Not encouraged to run for the Seanad as a nomination was on the way. The nomination never came. You don't cross Leo Kate!

    She cant really complain about the turf joke and then stand over her comments about choir boys. Surely both are fair game or both are not fair game.
