Much more important news is that the HSE budget for this year is nearly on target. Maybe Harney can get a few plaudits for plugging the black hole, and bringing these overpaid HSE people to their senses.

Anyway, those involved should count themselves lucky that they're in a position to be able to waste food on such pointless acts. The poor unfortunate sods should fcuk of to a place where people really are suffering and struggling to survive
