    RTE are devoting more airtime to SH than to HRH Prince Philip.

    Disgraceful. The D'Arcy fellow is on - is there anybody who he doesn't know?

    Did he put Jenny on. I remember her sitting up ,in the front row, among the RTE “ stars” on a late late show. Was amazed as some of the well known ones were in the cheap seats way behind so to speak. When I found out who she was I was in awe of her brass neck.

    Whoy would the IRISH National broadcaster be devoting lots of time to the death of a Foreign Monarch????? Jesus I’m the last one to defend RTÉ but seriously, we’re Irish, not British.

    Were my mother alive she would have had her two page do read of diary plastered in block capitals "SHAY HEALY DIED"... or maybe in less big letters. When Michael Jackson died there was no room for anything else on her diary. I remember I was in a late shift for work when John Lennon died and she urgently physically roused me awake to deliver the news... "Shot dead... would you believe it!"

    ‘You’re referred to by your room number’ — Quarantine breakfast ‘sent me over the edge’
    Avatar
    By Louise Burne -
    10/04/2021
    A resident in a mandatory quarantine hotel has revealed that she was ‘sent over the edge’ when she was served up cold cauliflower and broccoli for her breakfast.

    Cathy Byrne entered the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Santry, north Dublin, on April 2 after returning from South Africa.

    She travelled over the school holidays to visit her elderly mother, who is suffering from dementia.

    When she flew into Dublin Airport, she was taken to the hotel rather than to her home in Greystones, Co. Wicklow, where she lives with her husband and her three children.

    Speaking to RTÉ’s Liveline programme yesterday afternoon, Ms Byrne described quarantine as a ‘horrible and unpleasant experience’.

    The biggest issue to date, however, was the arrival of a glutenfree breakfast on Wednesday that ‘sent her over the edge’.

    ‘Generally, the food has been OK,’ Ms Byrne told Joe Duffy.

    ‘The breakfast I got two days ago was two rashers, two pieces of cauliflower, one piece of broccoli and a red pepper.

    ‘That was my breakfast and it was cold. That was kind of the point where I just thought, “Oh my goodness. What the hell is going on here?”

    ‘I had [asked for a gluten-free diet]. I expected sometimes that it would be a bit challenging, but I did not expect that for my breakfast. Cold cauliflower is not to be recommended.’

    Ms Byrne continued: ‘From the minute I landed, really, you’re made to wait on the airplane for a considerable while. Then we were put into a room for two hours waiting with no ventilation, nothing like that.

    ‘Then we had to go through immigration which took about an hour-and-a-half. Then, [we were] escorted by the military and brought in [to the hotel].’

    She said that ‘you are allowed your 15-minute breaks’, adding: ‘Sometimes they’re shorter; I complained one day because it wasn’t the full 15 minutes.’

    ‘You’re referred to by your room number. You’re not a person. I repeatedly tell them my name just so they know I’m not just room whatever.’

    Ms Byrne also expressed frustrations over the ‘pen’ that quarantiners use for daily exercise. She said the area was not very big and that she ends up ‘running around in circles’.

    Ok, I feel genuinely sorry for the woman having an unwell
    Mum with dementia far away at home in South Africa, and I 100% understand why she went to see her. BUT this year I have spent many weeks entirely confined within my apartment when symptomatic of respiratory symptoms (by recommendation of the health services/government) and though it was tough I understood why I was doing it. There was nobody delivering me food of any kind, not that I was hungry tbh. In respect of others i declined offers of help. The entitlement of some is beyond my comprehension.

    Those days are over caller. Every since Joe's direct message to all criminals to "stop it" I'm assuming that all crime has ceased.

    There will be surely a call or two about this... although Joe often doesn't cover stuff that's already been taken up by the news department. He likes to be de wan dat broke de story.
    RTÉ News

    The Department of Social Protection has issued a warning about scam phone calls from people claiming to be department officials.

    The department said that the call displays a range of numbers, including its own helpline number, which is 1890 800 024.

    It said that it was not contacting customers or members of the public through the number.

    People have been urged not to engage with the calls or share any personal information.

    In a statement, the department said that its staff will never ask members of the public for their Personal Public Services number or any bank details if they make contact with people over the phone.

    It urged people to contact gardaí if they receive such a call from the number.

    I’m watching the 9 o’clock news an hour later. Great news - Inbar is free! And as annoying on tv as she was on radio.
