    They knew for weeks it was being questioned and knew this day last week it had to be withdrawn. Min of Ag told yesterday. He should have skin and hair flying in there, but he seems a mild man.

    Herself has had headaches since returning to school. She's been blaming wearing masks all day, and it could be, I wonder had this stuff an input to them.

    Friends said it is very good too. Might add it to my winter box set listing. Running out of things to watch!

    What is more worrying about the sanitiser is that it wasn't up to the job.
    'Concerns regarding the sanitiser related to varying and inadequate levels of ethanol in the product, as well as the detection of methanol at varying levels in some samples”, the Minister told the Dáil.

    Inadequate levels of ethanol would render the product “ineffective”, he added.'

    This was withdrawn from daughters school today. When I was telling her she said loads of kids in her class have been bringing their own sanitiser in because it was ripping the hands of them. She never mentioned it and thankfully has had no bother.

    Separately wife had a serious eye reaction to one of the home made sanitisers that some places are using. Was awful.

    Circle K were using it too and withdrew it from all their outlets today. You'd wonder what other businesses were using it.

    Ingredient imported from Turkey. A few lads around my part of the country would have no problem making a supply, guaranteed 70% proof.

    First Half term down. It was a fair slog but worth it. Some paperwork to de done. Looking forward to doing a bit of farming.

    With the lockdown, my ohs hours have changed. She only works part time so it was 7 days on 7 off and we’re making do, now it’s changed to 5 hour shifts Monday to Friday. Costing us about €30 a week over her salary for child care and diesel at moment. So she will have to try sort something with them. Her job is not essential and the building she works in is officially closed but she works for the council so they are making them come in.

    See calls after today’s system crash to allow some bidders ringside.

    Would it be possible to have it run in tandem do you think ?? Online and real-time bidding on the same animals. Be hard to coordinate I’d imagine.

    Was this not happening already? Was the online bidding scrapped once marts reopened? I'd imagine it would be easy enough to take bids from both, the auctioneer just has to keep an eye on his screen as well. Don't they do it at horse and art sales all the time.
